Hi Neil, should be passing by on Monday evening - would that work? Do you have a picture of the fuel tank cradle please? Cheers, Kev

Cool, I ought to be passing you in the next 10 days. Can I give you a shout near the time and arrange to collect it please? Cheers Kev

Does that include the vcu mate? Is it functional?

Where are you based mate? Keen on the fuel tank cradle and the vcu bearings!

I think it has something to do with the turbo actuator, and it looked like I was stuck and hadn't moved for a while. I also freed off the mech, and changed all the vac lines. It ran fine after that, but I changed all the boost hoses anyway as I'd bought them already!

Hi guys, thought I'd pop back here and lose this one out. Despite many trials without much success, I've now finally sorted it. It was indeed a vacuum hose to the little solenoid beneath the EGR fitting. All is now well, except the requirement for a bit of TLC and a new VCU! Thanks for all the...

To be completely honest, I think the MAF may well be a red herring - I only changed it as its the closest thing to the airbox, and fiddling around changing the air filter seemed to start the problems. I now have the Pierburg one from Ron, and MAF comp turned on. I've not bothered with it over...

Indeed - a good idea. I had no instructions for the Synergy, but according to Ron (again!), it is possible to refit the MAF wiring loom back to front with the design I have... Embarrassing, but possible. The whole charade is somewhat embarrassing - I've been a DIY mechanic for 20 years and have...

I Just had a read up Mike, and to be fair I had missed that, however, plugged in to the Snap On OBD computer the temp steadily rises on the live data. Its all in bits at the moment, as I'm replacing all the vacuum and turbo hoses (they look tired regardless) along with a new PCV (I just washed...

Guys, I just thought I'd start a thread as I couldn't find anywhere appropriate to post it. Just wanted to thank everyone that's been trying to help the forum newbie out with the issues on my Freelander 1. You've all been a great help and really accommodating for someone who started out here on...

Brilliant - thank you. I kind of expected two filters - one in tank and one under the bonnet, but knowing where it is will help! Doh on the swirl flaps - looks like I have a set of blanks for sale... Anyone !? :oops:

I've tried that one too, but thanks for the advice. So far I've replaced the MAF, and have had a full new set of turbo hoses and a roll of vacuum hose delivered to fit. I'm also going to delete the swirl flaps. I've spent some time speaking to Ron over at Tuning Diesels and he has helped a...

Perfect - Thanks Nodge! This forum is brilliant! :-)

Hi guys, quick question. In reference to my ongoing misfire and smoking saga https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/td4-strange-misfire-and-smoking.313034/ I've decided to strip out and replace all the vacuum hoses to rule that out. I'm looking at buying up a roll or two of silicone vac hose...

Oh, I've also removed the sump guard and undertray, is there anything down there I might of whacked and should check? Can't hear any vac leaks using the old hose to the ear trick either.

And some more: unplugging the maf makes it chug worse, much worse. Unplugging the fuel rail pressure sensor throws the MIL light on, and it doesn't want to rev at all. Think I mentioned already it's fine on idle, but unplugging each injector in turn and the miss follows it. I haven't managed to...

So, a few more developments. I've had a look at the vac hose to the egr, and have now established it has an egr blank/bypass fitted. Not sure that helps with the symptoms I have. I think I'm going back to wiring issues for now. Thanks again!

Thanks guys. I'm really confused. I'm looking at the egr next, and tracing the vac hose to it. Interestingly, the temp sensor on the intercooler hose had a very tight cable, however, after rotating it a bit, all appears OK. I have noted that there seems to be a secondary air temp sensor as part...

Well, all appeared well, now it's cold again it's back to missing. Damned BMW engine!

Thanks,I have had a check and all seems well. I took it for a drive and it smoked like hell, for the first mile. Now all is well and the misfire has cleared. I wonder if it was upset because it could finally breathe for the first time in years! Will see what happens when I next start it from...
