Hi,

Can be an injector, a fuel pump, one of the turbo hoses ...
Certainly not related to the service.

Thanks 4 replying ... my mechanic remains baffled... told him to look at the car at his leisure n pray the bill dont get 2 high !!! Is there 2 fuel pumps on freelander1?

There is one in the wheel arch, and probably one in the fuel tank.
What are the symptoms ?

Also if the mechanic doesn't know that car, it will take him a lot of time to fix it. If he don't know how to fix it should not take it in the first place.
He should also give you a price, for a starting issue, you should not pay more than 1 or 2 hours of investigation.

on the td4's .. older models have 1 lift pump in tank .. 1 lp.fuel pump in engine bay + filter ..
later models .. lp. fuel pump and filter under o.s. rear wheel arch.
there's also a lp.fuel sensor as well [on both models]
.
 
Its mystery really car started fine he did full service n changed crank breather filter ( think its called that) n car became sluggish starting afterrwards. Hes not charged me yet as he thought he may have dislodged something. My mate said crank sensor ( think its that ill re ask him ) . Let u know when he finds the issue. Wish i could find local guy that knows landrovers . Darent go to landrover garage they would bankrupt me ha!!
 
Well 3 glo plugs changed 4th stuck... but fuel pumps both in frony engine bay bit. Not in wheel arch/or tank area. He plugged in diagnostics n my freelander code shows nothing . Just connected and a number he has no info on..he tried earlier yr n older but nothing n battery was full ndisconnected n re connected... strange car ive got ??? Just to say hes nice old skool mechanic so not a con artist he showed me the diagnostic read out or rather non read out lol

[ edit to add ] ..
google search .. '' freelander 1 td4 fuel inertia switch location '' ..
and check if that switch needs resetting.
