Well that coolant leak was coming from the EGR. I pulled it out again and managed to make one good one from two bad ones. I now have what appears to be an oil leak with oil dripping onto something hot. It looks to be coming from either the rocker cover (bad gasket?) or the intake pipe to the...

https://www.britishdiagnostics.co.uk/products/jaguar-land-rover-v130-ids-sdd-software-only Looks like you can buy it here. I think I downloaded a a v130 a while back but deleted it. I'll have look around and see if I can find where I got it from. Edit: This might be worth a look...

Well I drove it for about 15 miles and had no great dramas. There was a hot, slightly metallic smell when I stopped the car and a quick look under the bonnet revealed a bit of a drip from a coolant hose. It looks like it's dripping onto something hot (maybe the exhaust manifold) so I'll try and...

It does seem to run ok. I'm nervous to take it far from home but I think I'll take it for a run and get my wife to follow me in her car in case the worse happens.

Because I'd had a DTC relating to glow plugs I took the opportunity to test the plugs while the intake manifold was off. It turns out that they were all dead! I swapped them for my old ones which were all ok. I removed the swirl flaps from the intake manifold (they put up a heck of a fight!) and...

Good tip on removing bulkhead, I looked at it and thought should I or shouldn't I. Of course 2 hours into the job and the answer was obviously that I should have! 😁 I imagine the inlet manifold will be pretty bad based on what I've seen. I think I'll pull the swirl flaps out of my original...

I bit the bullet and replaced the TB and EGR yesterday. The TB was easy but OMG the EGR is such a pain! When I removed the TB I couldn't believe how much crud there was in there. I thought y old one was a bit scruffy but the one off my "new" engine was a mess: The one I removed... and my...

They were from the new engine.

OK, I finally found air path calibration. I tried using v163 but it didn't show up in the recommendations and I think I know why. Because the car is in Reduced Engine Performance (limp mode) it won't allow air path calibration to be run because it needs the engine to rev through the range etc. I...

Just before I start pulling my engine apart can anyone offer any logical reason why my engine could have developed the faults it has at the same time? After I replaced the engine and got it running I drove the car for a while and it was fine. I parked it up and left it for a few weeks, when I...

I'm working my way through the thread looking for a link to v163 though in the early posts @Nodge68 said that v130 had more functionality that later versions I believe.

I'm going to try a different version. I presume the engine needs to be running when the air path calibration is done? Just for absolute clarification can I confirm the ignition positions: 0 = key out of the slot 1 = key in the slot 2 = key in the slot, Start button pressed to illuminate dash...

If I do that here are the only options that I see: Do I need an older version of SDD do you think? Surely there must be a way to do it in v164 but I've had a pretty good look around now and can't see it.

I haven't spent much time poking around in SDD yet but I haven't seen Air Path Calibration. Do you happen to remember where I would find it please?

Wow! Finally got SDD working. After buying and returning 3 Windows laptops from Ebay :rolleyes: (the first came without the advertised PSU, the second was wildly different spec to what was advertised and the third was advertised with Win10 and an OK battery but had neither!) I was about to throw...

I presume it calibrates the end points of the throttle (and possibly the EGR??) so that the ECM knows the limits etc. In my thread here https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/fl2-engine-stopped-while-driving-dropped-valve-engine-swap.388726/page-10#post-5678131 I describe the fault codes I'm...

I've just bought myself a Lenovo laptop, my first Windows machine in 25 years! I've been a Mac user for so long that I'm very rusty on Windows. It seems I've fallen at the first hurdle as I can't create a bootable Win7 installation USB stick. I've borrowed my son's Windows laptop, downloaded the...

The EGR assembly was all supplied with the new engine. The TB could be something as daft as me forgetting to connect the plug to it?? I’ll have a look when I get home. It would be nice if the glow circuit was a relay as I’ve got all the ones that came off the old engine. Many thanks 👍

😩 Well after initially having the FL2 performing happily it was parked up for a few weeks. Then, when I drove it last week it was very limp and lifeless. I thought it had gone into limp mode but there's no warning light, it just has no power at all. My mate came over with his diagnostic reader...
