    Freelander 1 Warning Lights on Dash Flash On and Off

    Thanks both, I took it for a drive a while after stripping it down, and the silly thing started working again, no warning lights whatsoever. I’m going to fit the new one when it comes so I can forget about it for a while!

    Freelander 1 Warning Lights on Dash Flash On and Off

    Thanks Col, I’ve just had the switch in pieces and cleaned it all up with contact cleaner but no luck there, some of the contacts look fairly worn out so I’m assuming that’s the issue. Before I completely write this switch off, how would I adjust it correctly?

    Freelander 1 Warning Lights on Dash Flash On and Off

    Hi Andy, Thanks for that offer, we’re in Hemel, so if it comes to it and we are close to you that’d be great. Someone else has said that the brake switch will definitely fix it, so I’m waiting for one to come in the post and will see what happens from there!

    Freelander 1 Warning Lights on Dash Flash On and Off

    Hi all, My ‘03 Td4 has been playing up again over the last couple of days. It blew a headlight bulb the other day, so I have since replaced both with some Halfords “150% brighter” ones. The next day, the three amigos appeared and the brake light is stuck on, so I have ordered a brake light...

    Freelander 1 Electrical Locking & Starting Issues

    Hi everyone, I made a post a few months ago about my Td4 Freelander having some electrical problems. At that point, we were unable to unlock the car even begin to diagnose the problems. Fast forward to now, we have finally managed to get the drivers door unlocked, by putting a coat hanger down...

    Freelander 1 Strange Electrical Issue

    Thanks everyone, after a weekend of playing will all cables under the bonnet, we’ve not had any success in getting into the car. I’m no expert in electrical systems, so will leave the tailgate power strategy to the locksmith - don’t know how long this will be, as he’s doing it as a favour...

    Freelander 1 Strange Electrical Issue

    I’ve just stuck the battery back in, but the car still seems not to be getting any power. The tailgate glass hasn’t dropped, and the clock and inside electrics haven’t come on. - I’ve still tried the tailgate glass, but it’s not getting the power it needs to drop. :( Next thing I’ll do then is...

    Freelander 1 Strange Electrical Issue

    Brilliant, thanks alot for the help! I think the RAC bloke checked them yesterday, and his multimeter said 12.6v across them IIRC. Either way, he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong there, and I have no clue what I'm looking for. I shall try putting the battery in tomorrow, but if...

    Freelander 1 Strange Electrical Issue

    I've checked all of those fuses, and they seem to be problem free. FL4 and FL3 both had a few specks of corrosion on them, but nothing major - so I can't see that being an issue I'll check the battery earth tomorrow - I presume that's just where the negative cable joins the bodywork? And are...

    Freelander 1 Strange Electrical Issue

    Thanks both. Regarding the key, we've had the car from new, and I can say for certain that its never had a new ignition. So I've no idea of the issue there. :( The battery is supplying about 12.6v to the engine bay fuse box, but looking through the window, there seems to be no electricity...

    Freelander 1 Strange Electrical Issue

    Thanks Nodge, they sound like a good place to start checking. Do you know how expensive and time consuming changing the ccu would be? When it comes to the door, the key doesn’t work either. The RAC came out yesterday and basically said the only way in is smashing a window :(

    Freelander 1 Strange Electrical Issue

    Hi all, My '03 Td4 has been playing up all week, but today has started to refuse to unlock. On Monday, the driver's door unlocked, but no other doors would. Headlights on the car worked, as did the backlight of the clock, but everything else was dead. I'd turn the key in the ignition, but...

    Freelander 1 Td4 turns over but won't start

    Thanks everyone. Upon closer inspection, the jubilee clip for the short hose attached to the side of the egr wasn’t fitted properly, so I’ve reattached that. (Not sure how I didn’t spot it sooner!) I haven’t driven it yet, but hopefully that will sort my issue. I’ll still be on the lookout for...

    Freelander 1 Td4 turns over but won't start

    That’s brilliant, thank you. I will look into buying a new hose, and using and off cut from the old one as a buffer. In the mean time, will I be okay to drive around like this, or should it be fixed ASAP?

    Freelander 1 Td4 turns over but won't start

    Hi all, We’ve been working on the car this weekend. Yesterday, we cleaned all of the excess diesel up, and changed the high pressure fuel pump regulator o rings, and replaced the injector leak off pipe, as well as changing the plastic t junctions for brass ones. This worked momentarily, but...

    Freelander 1 Td4 turns over but won't start

    Thank you both for the responses. As to what the garage had done, only the low pressure pump and fuel filter has been changed. I know they took off the plastic engine cover, but I don’t think ever looked at the injectors. Other than that, the only thing to be done is him spraying easy start in...

    Freelander 1 Td4 turns over but won't start

    Hi again, We took the car away from the garage today. They started it on easy start, and it drove very happily back home. I did try and start it immediately when we got back, but no luck there. I have ordered the o-rings for the high pressure fuel pump, and will start that at the weekend...

    Freelander 1 Td4 turns over but won't start

    Thank you both, I’m now going to wait and see what is said by the garage, and will go from there. I have to say I probably won’t come back to this garage. I reckon you’re right about him not wanting the work, because he has been complaining about being overrun. I’ll post an outcome when we get...

    Freelander 1 Td4 turns over but won't start

    Thank you! I’m not sure why he’s not plugged it in, because I’m sure he has a copy of testbook. If it comes down to being a stuck injector, are they difficult to sort? Because the mechanic said it’s not worth the time or money, however I don’t really want to just give up with the car, and would...

    Freelander 1 Td4 turns over but won't start

    Hi all, My pre-facelift Td4 (manual) is currently at the garage. The other week it was running perfectly, however we stopped at a shop, and when we came back 5 minutes later, it refused to start. The engine happily turns over, but refuses to start up on its own. The garage we took it to (an...
