Quick update on replacement bulbs…. Managed to order 10off from eBay, if when I got it works fine happy to send one to anyone that has a blown bulb for the cost of a stamp. Ordered these: 12V 100mA 1.2W 5mm Wire Ended lamps NEW Qty.10...

Hi All, Quick update, car is running well it’s still a little too Smokey at start up.. and on occasion doesn’t start first time. Looking at the EGR bypass, I like the new part but someone mentioned you can simply blank off the current one and it looks OME from the engine bay…. Can anyone...

Hi Guys, Sorry for bringing an old thread back from the dead but I have a loud knocking suddenly started, got it checked at an exhaust place and the exhaust is fine the undertray was a little loose at the centre back which won’t help but they found the rubber on my rear prop shaft bearing assy...

I’ll do a search for bypassing the EGR on here unless anyone can enlightening me?

Hi All, Apologies for not updating on this but eventually got the loom replaced and all starting and hesitation issues stopped… By the time it was changed even contact cleaner on the sensor and wiring connections only helped a bit… and it smoked so bad when attempting to start…. I have a...

Just a little update on a previous post where it was thought the ecu was fried… I can’t say for the other poster but back when mine was first fitted the car wouldn’t start and the fans came on, after panicking and reconnecting the old wiring and nothing happening it eventually started up again...

Oh man, your so right, I was thinking this does not look cheap….. But like I said this is a fantastic forum with really helpful people…. I’ve been a member since 2006 before I went and bought my Freelander and it’s always a pleasure….

Morning Guys, Old Thread but wanted to say thanks awayway… Friday coming back from work, low power black smoke….. worried I nursed it back home, quick google and straight to this thread and the intercooler pipe had popped off…. What a fantastic forum and people constantly helping others…...

Hi All, Can’t thank you all enough for your help. Fitting the Replacement Fuel Pressure Regulator Repair Loom tomorrow so all the help is greatly appreciated. Couple of observations with the starting of my car, starts up perfect first thing even when it’s cold out (definitely not a glow plug...

Hi All, Bit of an update, car really struggled recently after checking all hoses I’d put it down to the cold weather and the glow plugs but called the AA out and said about the Fuel Pressure Rail Sensor contacts being an issue last time… hey presto contact cleaner and she was running amazing...

Hi, Yes 100% spot on with the problems there…. So does it sound like hose issues or has something else failed or leaking? Thank you so much for the help and advice, I’m hoping as well as curing my issues having this thread can help others going forward. lol out of interest anyone based in...

Hi, Sorry my poor descriptive skills, the car cut out while driving once. The engine light had been coming on intermittently prior I called the AA and it had a pressure rail sensor fault and the pressure nominal vs actual readings wasn’t the same…. That’s when he took off the connector cleaned...

Hi All, Thanks for the great advice….. I think my plan of action will be: 1, Cleaning out the egr and inlet manifold 2, Replacing the fuel pressure regulator repair loom. 3, Replace the glow plugs. How easy is it to clean out the ERG & Inlet manifold? Also is the repair loom simply a plug &...

Hi All, I want to get to the bottom of a few issues my 2006 TD4 has, and hoping the group can advice, but also this could help others in the Future. So last winter I started having starting issue when it got cold… I thought it could be battery but turned out to be glow plugs…. I got by by...

Thanks it’s due a decent detail but looking at the paintwork I was thinking today the shampoo must be making a bigger difference than I think. The steering wheel badge was off eBay description: “LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 3 4 DISCO BLACK SUPERCHARGED STEERING WHEEL BADGE EMBLEM” I’ve got the badges...

Oh and Replaced all badges now to Black and Silver.

15 Year ish Update. My trusty Freelander is doing me proud.... now with 80k on the clock and my daily it’s no longer a garage queen but still looking nice and running well. Just put a new set of tyres on which surprisingly while costly were cheaper than the last set!!! Got to admit it still...

10 Year Update lol Well I've still got the Sport and she's still looking nice. Hit 60k the other week so hardly ran in. I use Stuart & Penny at Armson A E which is just around the corner to where I live and the service is fantastic. Picked up a little run about for my work commute, so planning...

Just a quick shout out for Stuart & Penny at Armson. Im lucky enough to live 10 minutes away and My Freelander Sport TD4 has just had its second service & MOT with them. Cant fault them, like anyone i want to deal with a garage and people i can trust and can advise me on keeping my...

Your efforsts were great appreciated!!! :D
