Freelander 1 TD4 starting issue

Lucie Wallis · Aug 4, 2015

I have just purchased a Freelander TD4 03' plate with 136,000 miles. It tends to start first time okay but any times after that during the day it tends to crank and crank and crank and crank and then will eventually fire up, has anyone any thoughts? Could it be lack of petrol? The injectors need replacing? Ideas gratefully received.

Maybe doing 20,000 miles in one hour, 116,000 to 136,000

This thread is doubling up on your other thread as I'm sure the two are one and the same problem.
You need to get your injectors tested which will show up any fueling problems

I sincerely hope there is a lack of petrol in your Td4 otherwise you have a problem

I have just purchased two Td4's and sadly for me both of them have a problem!

Funnily enough once this TD4 has started it runs like a dream, just a bit of a pain to get it going!

Blimey, that's a first and intriguing .
As you have just bought them did they have these problems when you got them ?
They both have fueling problems which are fixable just a process of elimination.

Sadly no apparent problems hence me purchasing them both but I have a feeling it will be a lengthy and expensive process with them both but am starting with the smaller/cheaper options first and hopefully if I am really lucky the problems will be sorted before my bank account is empty!

might be an idea to see if u can get them plugged into a diagnostic , may give u some fault codes and which direction to go in

have always started with a really good service , wasn't there something about a cam sensor , if it fails to start when hot, that if u put it into the freezer and then try to see if it starts

if ur ever up this way got a hawkeye I'm more than happy to plug in for u , may or may not help but the offer is there

Thank you very much for your advise and offer, sadly each day just seems to get worse!
