Just a thought. Have you made sure the impact sensor hasn't got triggered?

Ok.

It's behaviour is like the engine ECU isn't getting the correct run code from the immobilizer. It's difficult to check this however, without the correct diagnostic equipment.
 
Nodge, I was thinking about the same two things: the impact inertia switch (press the button on the top to reset) or an immobiliser fault.

Clearly the engine is initially getting fuel and spark in order to start. The question is whether the fuel supply is cut or whether the ignition is cut.

A blocked fuel filter could be one cause: just enough fuel to get the engine started, but not enough flow to keep it running. I wonder when your fuel filter was last changed?
To check the ignition, it would interesting to see whether the plugs are still sparking. There are some simple bits of kit that show when the spark plugs are firing and may be worth looking at. But do look at the rotor arm and the condition of the distributor cap - and of course the ignition leads themselves. None of these last forever, and it is worth replacing with OEM MG Rover or Land Rover parts (the aftermarket stuff is generally of extremely low quality).
 
I have exchanged the fuelpump because I found debry in th housing one day after I had cleaned it
rotor and distribution cap are new
ignition coil is under way
is there an external fuelfilter on this FL 1 1.8 1999? if yes where is it located?;):D
 
You may have changed it already - it's in the tank, and fits on the fuel pump assembly - https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-ro...uel-filter-is-on-1-8-freelander-petrol.81264/

Yes, that should be fine!

Are you getting continuous fuel supply after the engine has cut? Crud could have blocked the fuel line elsewhere. Also good idea to check the ignition too.

If an engine stops like this, it is usually the simple things causing the problem!
 
had car over to garage they put it on the computer ECU seems to be broke I'am searcing for a new set now.
will exchange in car and under the bonnet at the sam time ten we will see what happens keep my fingers crossed.
will report back in a few days:(:(:rolleyes:
