terrible as in soft and twitchy at speed. A lot of the reviews I have seen also complained about this. My old TD4 handled much better although I had tweeted that with spring assisters and I don't think it's the suspension at fault but if someone has a shock and Spring upgrade then I would be...

After over 8 years of Freelander TD4 facelift I needed an auto so opted for SD4 190, power and spec is very good but handling is terrible. If Anyone here has had any experience in upgrading the suspension other than tyres and bushes I would welcome your comments.

So long and the short excessive smoke and a off load misfire around 1800 is once again faulty injectors.

so did a leak back and then popped along to an indiependand garage who confirmed the leak back was excessive and no codes stored. Of to PF Jones for 4 recon injectors and surprisingly I found a place on eBay in Poland selling M47 manifold gaskets set for £18 delivered, Everthing in and connected...

pipes seem ok, did a leak off test but had 3 pass a lot more than 1. how would you know if you had 4 knackered injectors is there a volume over time or do I need new injectors?

Thanks - found a video of one being stripped so can see how the top chamber and plunger in the armature works. I think last thing to do is take a physical reading of the manifold pressure/vacuumed to rule out blockages or boost just in case the obd is out. Is there a way to get the ecu to...

Thanks Nodge, what I am finding is full vacuum on top (-30inHg) as expected and around -6 on the middle actuator line and a slow build up of vacuum on the bottom breather line. So I assume all that vacuum has to be going somewhere and I've tested the actuator and line so it's not there but...

Thanks but if you put a vacuum gauge on middle or bottom what should I see at idle

Been looking on the net for info on the Turbo solenoid valve but don't seem to be able to find some simple information so could do with some assistance please. The three connectors go manifold vacuum at the top - turbo in the middle and vent on the bottom. so the question is on tick over is...

Thanks Alibro, if you ever see the white smoke thread it's a bit odd that so many members have had this but not found a common cause, like so many others I don't want to throw money at it blind

Thanks Nodge, yes default pressure is going to be a difficult one unless we have a specialist on the site - what about the dash light if you unplug it while it's running should it come on or stay off ?

Hi all, been trying to fix the white smoke at 1800 problem which looks fairly common on the facelift models but there have also been multiple fixes but can afford to try them all, I have been advised to check fuel rail pressure and harness which makes sense but OBD doesn't seem to read frp on a...

so got elm327 but everything bar fuel pressure has a reading, I could only borrow an android as everything in the house is iOS. Used torque app as suggested via wi-fi but not dice. Anyone any ideas how to get this working ?

reason for asking is if I unplug the synergie I don't get a maf reading and as its not a genuine maf it all gets a bit breathless. If the problem is in the synergie box or wiring replacing standard cable might not improve things. will order a dongle and see if that can pull the data thanks

it's an 2004 ? and unplugging the pressure switch made it stutter but it didn't cut out (both standard and synergie plugs) is that normal?

Ok after fighting to get the new filter replaced would you credit it but this scan tool shows frp in the handbook but will not display it on screen so that's blown that idea, is there a cheap scan tool that definitely display fuel pressure ? on a seperate note does the synergie pull voltage...

Hi Nodge, just remembered I have a turbo gauge scan tool in the cupboard so I think that can read all the basic parameters, do you know what fuel pressure - map - maf - temperature etc should be

yep it's certainly could be fuel pressure so fitting a new filter tomorrow and examining lead etc. unfortunately not any good specialist close by other than main dealers which is not in budget at the moment

Crank and cam for start and sync. Cam is only for starting and that's fine, crank can sometimes be rev related but not often temperature. I think it's fuel or boost due to the fluctuation
