Freelander 1 Im going back.

MULDERKE · Dec 17, 2023

Hello all
I've decided to go back and refit the crank case filter to my TD4. I kept the plastic retainer just in case. Is this all I need to return to original spec? Any advice welcome.
Cheers Gary.

Looks about right
it only fits one way

There's a challenge !!

MULDERKE · Dec 17, 2023

Thanks.

For the life of me I could not remember how it was fitted. With posts on this Forum stating the mod was not an advantage service wise, iv'e decided to go back to original set up.

Cheers.

Hi Gary.
As you most likely know you will need to remove the air duct which is also attached to the EGR.

1

couple of jubilee clips should see it being able to move enough.

2

3

Little engine cover.

4

Remove the air filter cover.

5

Then you can fit the PCV filter.

The bolt in pic 4 a few or the other bolts are bolted to the cam cover on posts that have a tendancy to break and spew oil out. I've now left them out of mine after it broke and I glued the cam cover back together. I believe if the wrong bolt is used it can puncture the cam cover causing oil leak.

Hi JD.
Yes what happens is certain people over tighten the bolts you are referring to, and the one over the cam chain will then piece the cam cover and it the bolts is not in place when you start the engine without the little cam/engine cover it will spit oil out through the pieced hole.

Why they didn't make them bolts 5mm shorter is beyond me. Good idea to go back to the original breather I find there's a lot less oil in the intercooler system than with the 'filter less' modification.

Thanks all for your comments.

Just looked at the original image. Any one spot the WWI shell timer in the bottom right of the pic, found at Passchendaele that one.
Take care and a good New Year to all.
Gary.
