Hi Does anyone know if the front driveshafts from a 2003 TD4 are the same - are they interchangeable? Thanks

Just a quick heads up on this - my starter was not firing up just a click from the ignition relay - I have stripped the unit previously to clean the contacts in the solenoid but the problem came back. The usual cause is corroding and wear on the terminals and round plunger inside (it also...

Yay my 2003 TD4 flew through MOT today with no advisories. It's got 109,000 miles on it as well. What sort if emissions readings are people getting - mine was 0.4 and believe it could be up to 3.0 and still pass.

Hi all 2003 TD4 My reversing lights are not working - checked fuses - see ok but can't be sure I am checking the right one - the guide on the fuse box is not easy to work out - I think it is fuse 21 but check lots if others. It happened give other day as well but they came back after I...

I am going to explore the innards of my diff to see if there is a worn bearing there. Those who followed my previous posts will know of my attempts to get rid of a wobble on acceleration. This is my new direction having changed just about everything else. So how difficult to open it up and...

Hi it's me again! It's been some time trying to sort out a miss fire wobble thing on acceleration - see other posts for history but I recently took it to a LR Indie who suggested I change the LP fuel pump and based on a diagnostic which showed injector one over fueling (a new reconditioned one!)...

Is it possible to bring together two of my threads - Injector Help Needed and IRD Wobble as they ate both about the same problem and history?

Some of you may have followed a thread or threads I have had about this wobble on acceleration which has foxed me and a mechanic I use somethimes. Changed lots of parts including both front driveshafs and lower engine mount etc. Today I took the prop off and it was worse so went under for a...

Hi all - sorry for this as I know it's been answered before but I cannot find it using my iPhone. The remote switch for the Synergy - where are people bring inning it through the bulkhead? And where are you mounting it after. Just had mine upgraded and need to fit the switch. Cheers

I am still struggling to eliminate a low down miss - feels like a wobble on initial acceleration. So here is a photo of my Leakback test - the car was run for a few minutes on tick over then a few blips of the accelerator were given. This is the result. Injector 1 on the left has just been...

Hi I am racking my brains to resolve a problem I have had for nearly a year! On acceleration I get a slight miss which clears at around 2500 rpm. I have posted about this before but thought that I had cured it with each thing I did. Ok it's a 2003 model All injectors now seem fine but a couple...

Hi Anyone had any experience of a company called Lyndhurst Diesel Services based in London for Bosch Injector Reconditioning? I ask because I have had some problems - they used to advertise on eBay - £65 each supplying your own Injector upfront. I sent mine got it back quickly but it failed...

Just browsing some stuff and thought - how would I know if all the necessary recalls have been done to my Hippo.

Hi I have just had an injector reconditioned and all was well initially but a quick drive down the road resulted in the engine light coming on and a drop in power. I stopped switched off and on again - the light went off and immediately came back on. I got home and did a leak back test on it -...

I thought you might be interested in my Leakback Gauge I made today. I identified an injector down with it as you will see from the photos. In the Factors these cost £75 this one cost me all of £8. Syringes from eBay, some fuel pipe and a backing board - way to go!

Hi I have a broken glow plug and so the cap is disconnected. It starts fine on 3 but I wonder if there would be any other effects because of this - does the TD4 (2003 model) need all 4 to be working? I have a slight miss but put this down to a faulty Injector.

How much can you cut the injector seats? I found an extra washer in mine jammed and had to resort to using a sharp screw driver to split it to get it out - it worked but I stupidly used a bit too much force and cut into the seat (I know I am a dork!) Upshot is it is now leaking - blowback. I...

Hi all Anyone know what the injector seats are made from? Steel or alloy I mean the part at the base of the tube the injectors sit in. This links to another topic I have going asking for TD4 Injectir help needed. Thanks all

Hi all Can anyone tell me if the injector I have acquired is right for my 2003 TD4 It is supposed to be from a TD4 but I don't know what year. It looks the same but I believe that mine are not coded and later ones are - are newer ones ok to go on a 2003 ? The numbers on the cap are: EOM...
