Thanks a lot everyone. I can't work on it until Saturday so will keep you posted. @Stance ... it was your thread that inspired me to look after my brakes.

The old ones were very bad and to be honest I thought I would be easier. It failed MOT heavily on brakes

I did take pics and I am very positive they went back together I did check. My thoughts are can the pistons spread out too far or handbrake cable seized

Hi again guys and girls hope your all well. I mentioned in a previous post that i was going to take my landy off the road for a brake service and finally got round to it but have run into a bizarre situation. i went for a full service which included new discs drums pads and shoes all round as...

Back again guys . Landy has been running great and in full use at work bur daft incidents have made me take it off the road for a refurb. I pulled the handle off the back door was incident number 1 then smashed the rear window loading logs at work for home and camping trips. An MOT due so seemed...

Fabulous thread stance. I'm taking mine off the road to do a refurb as I get nothing done while using. Inspired by yourself thank you

It's running g like a dream . I went on to replace the maf sensor which made no difference at all to be honest and was beginning to worry. Next step was the turbo boost solenoid and have to say as soon as I stripped it down I had a feeling it was the problem. Lots of surface rust on the...

Thanks nodge I will check it at the weekend as work have got me in doing 12 hours shifts and I'm aching.

It starts first time and ticks over lovely and even revs well. It's when it's warmed up and as you put your foot down a slight misfire then a bit smoke then corrects itself. I will look into fuel sensor. I was hoping someone would say it needs foot down run but nowt that simple.

Hi again. I have been watching and reading similar posts to mine to try and fix my landy but to no avail. I removed all the injectors and had them tested at a reputable diesel place near beamish museum and all 4 injectors failed the test so I replaced them with some reconditioned ones from a...

Back again :) today I removed the filters I had fitted and refitted taking extra care. It did cure the misfiring but not all of the smoke so I concentrated on the turbo outlet to see if it was putting out oil. I disconnected from the intercooler and put a sock over the pipe to check what oil was...

I recieved and fitted the crankcase filters and it has made everything worse. Misfiring like mad and loads of black smoke as well as shuddering on tick over. Have I done something wrong. I was really hoping to drive it this week and get on with some of the other issues. I don't want to put it in...

Trying to order the crankcase filter and turbo filter online . When I punch in my reg and vehicle details it says the part will not fit my vehicle. Am I doing something stupidly obvious . I'm not to bothered about upgrades just replacing the existing filters

Cheers Tim. I did see the filter at the back of the engine and is next on the list. The smoke is a lot less than before so will make the changes you suggested thanks and will keep the thread updated. Thanks for your help

Hi again ☺ Update is I did a service which included oil change , oil filter , air filter , fuel filter I also topped up fluids including power steering and coolants and repaired handbrake light fault. Nothing was simple but I'm still enjoying it. Altho it's better it still isn't right. A...

I've replaced the egr( I know I could have blanked it ) and now I'm after doing a full filter and oil service. Any tips on best kit to buy would be appreciated and any general advice of order to do stuff. It runs but still chucking out black smoke and going into limp mode but not showing any...

Hi all , I'm a 55 years young male from the North East. I've been treating myself to an 06 freelander freestyle with loads of issues as a hobby and workhorse. It stands me very little and my plan is to turn it into reliable workhorse that I can keep for many years . I've owned a defender and a...
