Thanks Hippo, i've checked them too

There are 12 fused links? I'm sure i only saw about 5 of them and 1 of them being the big 150A

I didn't unplug the ecu before replacing the head gasket. I sure did, the temp gauge didn't come down

Thanks guys. I disconnected all the plugs and cleaned up the connectors. Reconnected them, still no joy. I spoke to someone from a LR specialist who mentioned that the throttle motor plugs can be mixed up with the plug connector to the HT leads. That was ok. The LR specialist guy...

Yes the gauge still goes to the red evan if the temp sensor is disconnected:confused: The diagnosis machine worked fine before hand. Hopefully if it isn't to cold out side i'll try those things out you mentioned John. What a pain in the arse! :deadhorse: Has anyone had any ecu problems...

Hi John, sorry for the late update. Spent abit of time on the freelander today. Here's what i found, still abit confused. Checked and tested fuse FL1 = ok also 12v is measured Checked and tested fuse FL3 = ok also 12v is measured Checked and tested fuse FL7 = ok also 12v is measured...

Thanks for the reply John. I've just come back from trying a few things. Ok here's what i've found so far: *Fuel pump not priming *No cranking, only dash lights illuminate as per normal *Starter relays clicking on attempting to startup (they are the yellow ones) - I've swapped them around...

Thanks for the reply guys. It only cranks when 12v is applied to the small wire on the starter. I did reset the "cut out switch" under the bonnet. ianda12 - I've checked all the fuses you've mentioned and the "links" all tested ok with the multimeter I've fitted a new ignition switch...

Update: I removed and cleaned all the plug and connectors. Fitted the new ignition switch....still no good. Anyone please help!

:eek: I'll disconnet them all and try again (i hope i have for my own sake lol) I didn't think you could get them mixed up, all the plugs looked different.

I think the problem with yours is the ign switch part no. yxb100350 Hope that helps

Just removed the ign switch and cleaned with contact cleaner. I fitted the plug connector back on tightly as well. As i tried to start her i noticed the TEMP neadle shot straight up to the red and the red warning light flashed! Really confused now!

No power to the little wire on the started motor whilst the ignition is switched on. Do you recon that could be related to the ign switched? i've removed the plug connector on that as well can't see anything. i'm going to order a ign switch and try that out, getting a bit despirate

Thanks for the reply, i was thinking on the same lines. All the electrics work including the remote locking/unlocking If someone can inform me on how to that, it would be great! i know this could be sensitive information so i'd prefer on a PM. philip

Just gone over the engine again to make sure: fuel pipe is connected, all the plugs are connected, I removed each one again and applied contact cleaner hoping that wouold help. Its not turning over, all the dash light are as normal and the relays can be herd clicking. No sound from the...

I've been thinking is there any hidden fuses? I'll try tracing the +ve from the starter relay

Thanks, Tried that , still no joy

Just siffed through the search button...no joy :(
