    TD4 will not start

    Just a quick update, the freedee is back up and running now:bounce:. Booboodag thanks for the location advice for the pump, I removed it, put it on the bench and connected 12v and away it went, pumping like a good'un so I fitted it back on thinking something else must be wrong. I turned the...

    TD4 will not start

    I did not explain myself very well in the first post, it will fire with easy start but not continue running. I did not know mine did not have an in-tank pump either.

    TD4 will not start

    My 2003 facelift TD4 would not start today. It will run with easystart sprayed into the air intake. The in-tank pump does not prime when the key is turned. I also found a relay that is burnt out and melted it's holder. The relay is on the bulkhead (just above the red fuel cut-off) and is covered...

    towing with a freelander td4

    I tow an Abbey GTS, 20.5 foot long and about 1100 Kg with a manual TD4 and have no problems. Keeping ahead of the trucks is effortless. I've done all the usual stuff, egr bypass, pcv upgrade, silicone hoses and a damn good service.

    Driving in Yoo-roap

    I agree totally. The only time I really have to think about what side of the road should I be on is the first morning of being there, after that it just seems natural. I've just come back from 10 days of touring the battlefields of the 2 wars and the FL performed lovely (even with 10 litres of...

    matching tyres '05' TD4 HSE

    There seems to be a theme going on here for as when I got my Freelander it had 2x Sunny and 2x Nankang tyres. The Sunnys looked the newest (more tread) so I took off the Nankangs and fitted a pair of Sunnys. I know a lot of guys on here give Sunnys a hard time but I came up thru France yesterday...

    What makes Freelanders betterer than other 4x4's?

    For me it was simple, I was involved with the car from the first maestro van prototypes right upto current FL2 production. For me I think they drive nice, look nice, have the right amount of on/off road capability split, OK they have a few issues but what car does not. My 1st FL 1.8 I had upto...

    TD4 how many miles per tank thread?

    Our driving styles are very similar as I drive class 1 so everything is about forward planning the only difference is my top end is 65/70 and I know once you start getting above 70 the economy is not too good.

    egr blanking plate strangeness

    I hope I have read your post wrong but did you put a plate between the egr and the engine block? 'cos if you did it's not surprising it would not start as you have blocked the air flow into the engine. The plate should go between the egr and the pipe coming out from the back which blocks of the...

    Tyre advice part 2

    I can see you have some strong feelings on this which I agree with to some extent. The OP obvously has a budget in mind and I feel he is doing the best with that by buying 4 branded tyres with the same amount wear. I did excatly the same with my 1st FL, it came with 3 different makes of tyre so...

    Tyre advice part 2

    I find it strange, everybody seems to say don't buy 2nd hand tyres but when you buy a used car, it comes with 2nd hand tyres but do people go and change the tyres straight away, no I don't think so. Now saying that, I do tend to agree with not buying 2nd hand if you have the budget to buy new...
