Let it run for a bit it is then.just wondering if they could be flushed out with something like engine degreaser or similar. Without exhaust it doesn't smoke at all which is great as it smoked like hell with the old engine.but put the old exhaust on and its really smokey and just trying to save...

Quite a bit of old gunky oil.turbo had gone and previous owner just kept on using it... Actually poured out about half a litre.

Right so changed maf sensor and all seems good.not been on a long run just up and down the lane but definitely feels better so thanks again everyone. Now does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning oil out of the exhaust system as I cant take it for a long run as not mot,d yet.

Yep. Replacement engine which is a massive improvement over the old.it runs and drives great.when your on the move you dont really notice it .but when you go to pull off it's really obvious. I'll try putting my original maf sensor on and clean up some connections and see how that works.

Oh yeah .its o4 freelander 2l td4(bmw) It seems to be a pedal travel issue.when you depress the pedal there is no response for about an inch of pedal movement then its revs fine and drives fine.its purely just a dead area of pedal play.

I recently asked lots of questions in relation to changing my engine,which I finally got round to this week.thanks to all the advice it went smoothly and now I have another question... Replacement engine runs smooth but there is a flat spot when you press the the accelerator.just when you first...

Yeah going at this with the knowledge from yourselves on here and anything I can gather from the internet as my dog has more mechanical know how than I do . Should be interesting.........

Definitely a challenge but gone to far and spent to much to turn back now. It will all be worth it in the end..

Well started disconnecting everything and I might end up dropping it out as you suggested instead of lifting the engine. Luckily managed to borrow a hoist so should make life a little easier either way. Taken a while as the weather is totally against me . But do you ever get the feeling you've...

Sorry to nag but,do I have to disconnect lrd and gearbox to lift engine out or will it separate from gearbox alone and then lift out.

Gonna be a steep learning curve this one. Just need for the weather to improve a bit then I'll make a start. Thanks for the photos,more helpful than you might think.

Thanks for the replies,think its gonna be engine out only,so out the top it is.the less I remove the less i can break.....

Just the engine as fingers crossed gearbox etc all good.is it just unbolt from gear box and mounting and pipes and cables etc the separate from gearbox or am I over simplifying things?

The way things end up here I'll probably follow the toppling and spilling.

Thanks for that.i will check out the link ,do like your version though. So best to remove from under the car not out the bonnet then?

Yeah I realise this but first began about engine problems and drifted into removal,but thought I'd ask a more specific questoon with new post. Sorry for any confusion. My bad..

Theres an issue with that,I'm in Wales and we cant even leave our own towns right now...... So looking at delivery options which does limit my search a lot. Luckily no rush,probably take me for ever to get this engine out....

Well basically noisy smokey engine that on inspection has a dry rusty front cam but rear is fine.previous owner took it off the road due to it being a bit smokey. New oil,filter,crankcase breather,rocker gasket,injectors tested and refurbed and just feel that it might be easier to just swap the...

Basically current engine has lots of white smoke when under load and rates like a box of spanners and has no power. Injectors tested,oil change new crankcase breather,new rocker cover gasket as old one was brittle and then I noticed no oil on front came,it was dry with surface rust but rear cam...

Looking for any guides or links to remove engine and box from 04 td4.
