Hi All. I got the injectors out after "inventing" a tool. Essentially I took the top nut off the injector which came away with the plastic electrical connection. I then took off all the plastic etc and removed the nut. I welded the nut to another that fir the threaded rod of my slide hammer...

Hi Guys Thanks - I am so grateful for the messages - and the next time I see him he will get the barbed wire and testicle treatment for sure! I will confess as to who told me though - it was a mechanic that came out from my breakdown organisation yesterday as the old landy just decided it...

Hi all. I have had a lot of bother with my TD4 and after researching these excellent forums I have got myself 4 replacement injectors which are used, low mileage and from a TD4. I am about to set out and change them in the morning but someone has told me that I won't be able to swap them as if...

TD John - Will do, many thanks. Regards, David

Hi. Many thanks for responding. I'm not sure how old they are though I suspect that they will be the original ones and unlikely to have been replaced. Is servicing them something I could do at home or is it a garage job?

Hi. After resolving a myriad of issuettes with my TD4 it passed its MOT today. The mechanic said that it passed the emission test but in his view was running quite rich. The car has never used so much as a drop of engine oil between services whilst I have owned it, but there has always been a...

Ahh....mystery solved! Many thanks, Vic.

Ming - Thanks for that. I looked at the filter and although it isn't blocked it does look well overdue a change so I will get one (This is the clear one that looks a bit like an old style fuel filter and it is on a tube that goes to the turbo area)??. I have another question though - at the...

Chris - Thanks for that valuable info. I think I will get one of the chaps in our electrical workshop to make me an aluminium earth.....either way I will reinstall one. Cheers matey.

Hi - Apologies as I seem to be hitting this forum a lot at present...but I am 3 days away from MOT and when I rev my TD4 through the gears it chucks out a fog of black smoke.......I checked all the intercooler hoses and they are spot on, (though one did pop off on Sunday, but it is now firmly in...

All Thanks for your advice and help - I manually adjusted the rear shoes today and it now seems to be better, I certainly have a better pedal! In terms of the fuel leak - it was the filter under the rear O/S wheelarch - what a daft design!! I have not put the steel earth strap back on as so...

Hi all. I have a couple of things I need advice on.... First, I recently had the issue with sticking handbrake so today I have replaced the shoes and freed everything up and given the moving parts a good coat of copper anti sieze. The good news was that when I got the drums on and the...

D'OH! Just read the first thread...at the top of page 2 with....the link to joe27979's tutorial.......maybe i should just give up and buy a Micra:-)

Thanks joe27979, I took Chaser's advice and bled it through. Could you put in a link to your tutorial into this thread - it may save others with this issue a lot of time and effort? Once again, thx for the help.

Just to let you all know that I changed the cylinder yesterday an problem solved. Couldn't have done it if it wasn't for your help guys, thanks!!

Thanks guys - great help and now job completed - I hope it lasts now!! Many thanks.

Hi - I am in the process of changing the busted clutch master cylinder on my freelander - could someone advise me as to how take the "quick" coupling comes apart? I don't want to get it wrong and break it!

Magic! Thanks to you all for valuable advice. Hope I can return the compliment one day.

Chaser - Many thanks for the advice, I will take it. How do I bleed it through? (Sorry for being a thickie but never done a Landrover before)

Happy Days! Many thanks Booboodag, you're a life saver! All I have to do now is spend £100 on a new cylinder! Cheers mate, much appreciated.
