    Tyre depth

    Rule of thumb is to have the same profile on all four, with the best on the rear.

    TD4 Smokin' Issue (solved or not)

    Did you have a look also on the small 4mm hoses? Those also make a mess sometimes and hard to spot especially on egr side. Do you have egr blank fitted? Also, did you check the turbo solenoid and last but not least the MAF. To get injector 4 out sprinkle some wd40 there a day before. Next day it...

    Freelander 1 td4 tons of blue smoke

    After changing oil to Castrol Magnatec 10w40 instead of 5w40 petronas it seems like there is no smoke on cold start, at all. I doubt this can make this much difference but who knows.

    Is this a good vcu deal?

    Few weeks should be ok. The issue I've had for example was upon removing the front bit of the propshaft, had to vandalise the old vcu (stupid cooper grease) Can't be the only one.

    Freelander 1 td4 tons of blue smoke

    Sale/buy did not go through with the 1.8. Car was okish, owner was not. I am now giving up the K saga, hence will be stuck with this diesel for a while. Today it did not smoke at all, making this fault intermittent...

    Freelander 1 td4 tons of blue smoke

    Well I've had both and I prefer the K series, although more seriously problematic it's easier to work on and I don't care about mpg. This is too complex and spending so much money and work and driving a tractor in the end is now rewarding for me. The smoke issue was very little this morning, so...

    Freelander 1 td4 tons of blue smoke

    Always wanted to do that, considering td4 was a mistake as it's a diesel and I don't like it. Finding a k series not being raped was the challenge, regardless of the cost.

    Freelander 1 td4 tons of blue smoke

    Well, nevermind. I will be selling it and getting a 1.8 petrol which I've found that runs and drives. I'll do the oil change and all. Tay Tay td4. Thanks for the help, there will be new threads with k series for sure.
