    Freelander Loud Bang and now poor running

    hi Hope someone can point me in the right direction here. I was driving Freelander2 TD4 (not sure of year) and suddenly there was a loud bang from the engine. Then it was misfiring. Not badly, just like one cylinder missing every now and again. I got home ok. It also sounds like an exhaust...

    Sudden Poor Running Two

    Hi All, Thanks for all the tips. I removed the lift pump and it seemed ok. Then I had a "oh surely not" moment. I'd run out of fuel. doh! I will say in my defence, that 1, the fuel gauge is broken and i go by the milage. I must have pressed the reset trip button by mistake, and 2, it broke...

    Hi Everyone, Can anyone suggest where i should start to try and suss this out? Defender 300tdi has been running great for ages. Regularly serviced including a month or so ago. Suddenly this morning was difficult to start. When it did start, runs as if missing. Pressing the throttle and it...

    Wierd Overheating Issue

    Just looking on paddocks and they have different ones. green, blue, yellow, red. Does anyone know which one i need? My engine is 300TDI but could be from a disco 1.

    Wierd Overheating Issue

    No, its definitly not doing that. I'll get a new sensor, and another thermostat again. :( thanks for the tips all. Any other ideas greatly apreciated.

    Wierd Overheating Issue

    I suppose the waterpump could have siezed up or something as its been without water in for a few weeks while i changed the bulkhead. Are there any other symptoms i could check for iffy waterpump?

    I can borrow a IR thingy from work. What do I do, run the engine and check where its heating up?

    Wierd Overheating Issue

    I just read somewhere else that the standard 300tdi thermostat is supposed to open at 88 degrees. Im sure when I tested both the termostats they didnt start to open until the water in my saucepan was proper boiling. Might get a temperature sensor in and see. Could it be anything to do with...

    Wierd Overheating Issue

    The hose at the top on the rhs is cold with thermostat in. Without, its hot and the entire rad is hot. I even filled the radiator completely from the rad plug. I did put it with the vent hole at the top, it wont go in any other way. Is the thermostat the same for disco\defender? Its so...

    Marjon. No, before radiator and thermostat change it was fine and only got over half (on the gauge) when i was towing heavy loads. I chucked the old thermostat out. Wish i hadnt now.

    Wierd Overheating Issue

    Hmm, that could be it. The car is mostly a 300tdi but it was rebuilt by the bloke i bought it off. The engine is 300tdi but could have come out of a disco? The axle is disco as I think you identified last week.

    Wierd Overheating Issue

    Seems hot, but i must admit not screaming hot. surely the thermostat would open before the gauge gets to the red ? Unless the temp sender is broken or something?

    Wierd Overheating Issue

    hmm, on the gauge. But it would get all the way almost to the red. Admittedly its not boiling and steaming or anything, but the gauge is about 9\10 and the radiator still cold.
