Good job Craig. I was going to tell you that if you had the pump shown on eBay, then you would also have a quick release connection at the other end of the hose from the bottom of the pump! This is released by squeezing a white clip on the underside of the multi fuel connector situated on the...

Had a similar problem. Yes, is was the pump in my case. To be sure, listen for the pump so you know what it sounds like when working. Next time it fails to start lift the bonnet and listen. Give the pump a sharp tap if all is quiet and you should hear it run. The segments on the commutator are...

Sorry to contradict you, Chaser but my 02 TD4 has two lp pumps with chassis number 2A393587. It would be interesting to know if any owner has a later 2A serial number with two lp pumps. So, as to checking if the pumps are running with ignition on, try listening under the drivers side...

Yes freelance, you would think so wouldn't you! When I did exactly as you did the first time, I looked for another leak point but couldn't find one. I took the outer trim off again, poured water on the metal plate and in the water went. So I removed the plate, put tape over the nylon inserts and...

Had a similar problem. White plastic bit is one of the cable guides. With mine, the cable had seized in the outer sheath (Bowden cable) due to rust. The white guide then snapped off the end of the regulator. I did manage to repair mine as the cable had not broken but was jammed around the drum...

I had a similar problem with my TD4. I tried freelance's method, but I still had a leak! I have explained my actions here. Freelander boot leak Best of luck! Eric

Hi Spike, Had same problem. I think the only option is to take the failed brackets to an engineering shop to have new ones made up. I took mine off and noticed that access to the drivers seat was much easier when in a restricted parking space as you do not have to open the door as much to put...

There is one on ebay item no 250807788901. All the others are early passive types which are not suitable. Hope this helps, Eric.

With intermittent faults like this, one way of approaching the problem is to try and simulate the cause, i.e. you know that vibration can activate the door open warning light. So you need to make the CCU ( Central Control Unit) think that all doors are shut but be able to agitate the lock /...

Hi Mick, Had a similar problem with my MY02 TD4 which was caused by water leaking past the nylon inserts fitted through the metal body above rear door to fix trim. If you remove the two fixing plugs holding up the head lining on the roof at the rear corners, pull down the lining from the rear...

With the back door open, can you hold the glass firmly at the top and pull it up and down about half an inch? If so, then you have wear in the regulator assembly giving "lost movement" to the glass. The amount the motor drives the glass is determined by counting the output of a pulse generator...

I had a similar problem, intermittent at first and then a solid fault. It was caused by a bad earth connection on the connector to the interior light assembly. There are three connections to the light assy: 1)a 12v feed, 2)earth return via body to battery , and 3) return via Central Computer...

Hi Ozone, just had a look at the vacuum pipes behind the engine (02 TD4) as I remember an open pipe and sure enough there is a metal pipe rising almost to the top of the engine then has 180 bend and protrudes downwards for about 3 cm. I assume this must be a breather pipe - for the gearbox or...

To answer your question, Harold I have an 02 td4 with 80,000 miles and original VCU. I also did NOT initially follow the recommendation to fit new tyres on the back. I ran it for 20,000 miles with the original tyres on the rear to 60,000 miles, with new ones on the front after 38,000 miles! I...

Hi Claire, No.2) could be faulty door lock assemblies. The unlock motors seem to fail with age. The drivers door usually fails first, but you can get over the problem by using the key as you have found. I expect the others have just failed one by one. The lock assemblies cannot be repaired, and...

Maplins do one ( Part no. WQ13P). However, it is NOT 14 volt, only 12 volt and a slightly lower current, but is bright enough to see the time during the day. I understand some peeps have bought them at LR dealers! Hope this helps. Eric.

Hi TD4, I have been thinking about what I did re. metal plate under top trim. You may have to remove this (it was rusty on mine) also,to replace the seal. If so, pay particular attention to how the screws are sealed in the nylon fixing nuts. These nylon fixing go through the body and...

Hi TD4, I needed to remove the two side plastic finishers and the top one to cure a damp problem caused by water leaking past the screws that hold the metal trim plate on, which is located under the top plastic trim. Plastic studs (5 if I remember correctly) mount on the underside of...

Take care! I understand from reading previous posts that the sensors changed from passive to active type after 2001 MY. On early ABS systems the ABS light goes out after reaching a speed of 8 MPH, where on later systems the ABS light goes out after the initial lamp test on switch on. It is...

Is the air control set to demist? If so, the air con will automatically switch on to help the demisting process by drying the incoming air. Very useful!
