Thanks Dan, actually I have not checked if filling the tank eases the problem but funnily enough the tank is due for a fill-up. I am pretty sure the problem is related to fuel pressure though.

My TD4 had been running well but has now started with problems again. Namely it runs well for a while then the tick-over can become uneven in traffic jams as if there is some fuel starvation, sometimes the engine will even cut out. After messing with the fuel lines under the bonnet, ie...

It is difficult to see the fwd rear diff mount properly to say if it is ok or not. I had same problem and changed the fwd rear diff mount myself, knocking problem was resolved. The side rear diff bushes tend to be ok.

Hi Ming, My mrs is asking how the vehicle is running after you fitted the EGR bypass & cleaned out all the sh... from the inlet manifold. FYI mine is running better now than it ever has!! wish the same went for the mrs!! Only joking!! cheers. Jon.

I had a similar problem with my central locking a few weeks ago. Landrover wanted to charge £65 to put on diagnostic computer. Got the whole thing fixed at a local auto electric garage, total charge £60, and working perfect now. It was a fault within the alarm/ locking system. I would suggest...

Ming, Got it back together, took about four goes with the oven cleaner to get it properly clean but I WOULD recommend this method of cleaning. EGR bypass is now fitted. All is running smoother than ever, can't wait to go for a longer drive! Thanks, Jon.

Hi Ming, Changed all those bits also. Now I have the Inlet manifold off, using oven cleaner to clear the gunge. Already cleaned and HP Washed once, it is coming out, but giving it one more treatment. Unbelievable the amount of sh... inside, and even in the actual inlets towards the injectors...

Hi Davey, who are/ where are 4muddyfeet? Still recommend them? Thanks

Just bought an EGR bypass and removed the old EGR valve. Can not believe the amount of gunge in the old valve & especially the inlet manifold, cms thick. Did you remove the inlet manifold to clean it, if so was this difficult? please can you let me know how you did it. Thanks,:confused:

Very interesting post, as is your previous re: biodeisel. I have had a very similar experience, except for the 'overheating'. I also have a 2002 TD4, I usually run on BP Deisel Ultima because I found she runs much smoother on it than on other cheaper deisel. However, recently went up to...

And....Did you notice the difference once you changed it? My 2002 TD4 has done 82,000 miles, I've just ordered the same from Duckworths. Thanks, Jon.

Thanks again, by the way went to landrover approved service station this morning (not quite sure if it is actually landrover) and they wanted £65 just to run the diagnostic check before starting any work. Decided to wait for your replies before taking further action, I am sure a relay is a...

Thanks Ming, By any chance do you know the exact location of the relay, I tried pulling each one out in turn in the internal fuse box location, but each time I pressed the central locking switch I could still hear the clicking noise, so could not identify which one was that for the central...

Thanks for the info, but please can you tell me how to actually open up the old filter? I know the location but havent figured out how to open it. Thanks,

The central locking on my TD4 as almost completely packed in. I now can't even get the key in the drivers door lock to open manually. The only access is via the tailgate. Alarm system is working normally with the key fob. All doors (except tailgate) can be locked by using the central locking...

I have been working abroad for a couple of months, came back to find my central locking system only works intermitently. Sometimes it is fine with the key fob, other times nothing happens. It is the same when i try the central locking switch on the dashboard. Tried changing the battery on the...

No sign of any oil leaks, not sure if I can check the slave cylinder on 2002 TD4 without removing the gearbox?

Update, Drove 190 miles down motorway from Newcastle to Ellesmere Port today, came off sliproad to first roundabout. Could not get into any gear, had to put on the hazard warning lights and pump the clutch, until eventually I could get into first. How embarassing, I felt such a real ...

Did you try switching to BP Ultima, for one time, just to see. I didn't do anything special on my 2002 TD4 other than what I told you, and it is so smooth now, you don't see even a slight flicker on the tickover. Did you try Redox, I just bought another bottle tonight in ASDA for £3 odd. Best...

Hi Kelvin, Any improvements? My TD4 is now running BETTER than it has since I first bought it 1 1/2 years ago. Have just given it a full service myself, and I can really feel the difference knowing all the service was done properly, thanks everyone to the help on this forum. Cheers
