    td4 temp gauge is on max and red light is on

    My temp gauge often goes into the red even when the engine is cold. The problem is the connections for the display, I can hit the top of the speedo and it will reset the temp gauge. This is down to a weak connection in the wiring. But I don't get the red light.

    Change the crankcase breather filter NOW!

    Oops, sorry I meant £250 + £100 bond - so £250 for turbo. This was average price on eBay and I didn't want to chance chancing the core.

    Change the crankcase breather filter NOW!

    Well new turbo on and test run good, well after initial scare - first couple of miles still smoking bad but then burnt off. Now have a further problem, must have nipped/kinked oil return pipe which has now developed a split! New one ordered but looks like IRD will have to come off to fit new...

    Got it off. Step 11 of the guide is where I got stuck - this is really challenging and not looking forward to the reverse!

    Change the crankcase breather filter NOW!

    Wise move - changing it. I've just got the turbo off (the two 13mm bolts are a killer - step 11) Its full of oil so ebay for a new one.

    Change the crankcase breather filter NOW!

    Thanks for the tip. The return oil line is the reason turbo not removed - stopped for the day to recharge enthusiasm! (and find the bolts for step 11) Using the following method: gb8man gb8man is offline Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2013 Posts: 19 Default how to change turbo on...

    Change the crankcase breather filter NOW!

    My 2003 TD4 auto has now got a suspected blown turbo and I think its all down to my lazy arse not changing the crankcase breather filter! This is why: I noticed a small amount of oil seeping out of the dip stick and pulled it out when the engine running - this got some oil venting out of the...

    Horn not working

    This may sound strange but have you changed the radio? The horn and clock are linked through the radio some how? This came to light when I changed my radio. Strange but true, hope this helps.

    Rear window calibration

    This is yet another thread on the rear window failing to open. I'm not after advice but intend giving beginners a simple starting point. My rear window failed to open or drop thus preventing the rear door opening and the rear wiper operating. There are lots of threads on this subject but...

    Rear fog lights

    Gary Just checked the lights and they work ! I don't have a fog light on them (I only have a tow hitch bike rack.) Looks like the previous owner got the rest right. Thanks for the tip. Gavin

    Rear fog lights

    Thanks. I saw that this could be a common fault because it is easy to see why they just cut the wire and did not think about the full effect. They probably tested the lights with trailer lights fitted and all was well. But i agree if you fix it let people know.

    Rear fog lights

    Fixed> The previous owner had fitted a tow hitch and when he wired the electrics he chopped the cable! The feed runs from the RH to LH along the rear door sill, he had cut this and put the towing electrics in series, so works fine when towing but no LH when no trailer electrics plugged in. I...

    Voltage is zero so now I know where to start. Thanks for the quick reply, just needed a sanity check before hunting.

    Rear fog lights

    I've done my search and can't find the answer. I have a LHD TD4 and the only rear fog light that works is the RH one. I have checked the wiring and lamp in the LH rear fog light and all seems correct. The reversing lights both work. Question: Should both rear fog lights work or just...

    Coolant over-temp ?

    When I got mine I had the same problem. The temp gauge will jump into the red and stay there even when the engine is cold. After lots of digging found it to be the connection on the back of the instrument panel. If you hit the top of the panel hard it should reset the connector...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Just back from Italy - this was a 2500Km round trip (based in Belgium so saved a couple of hours from tunnel). Down through Germany and Austria back up via Switzerland, France and Luxembourg. I did oil change before setting off and had no problems. The autobahn speed was max 160 but cruised...

    intank pump TD4

    My 03 TD4 failed to start the other day after I stopped and filled it up with diesel. The symptoms were turning over but no firing at all. I thought fuel but then noticed the engine light on the dash did not go out (this is the amber engine picture with line through it). I checked all the...
