Yes, they are AT2s
Not a cheap tyre, My Visa card is still smoking!

Im on about the rail sensor loom , I know the injector loom is separate and might get one of those for good measure as well to rule anything else out
though I thought it was the pressure sensor on the pump that had the replaceable loom and not the one on the rail or am I getting confused?
There is a fuel rail pressure sensor overlay harness available, as the original suffered corrosion and subsequent failure. The original FRS harness in integrated into the engine sensor harness. This is why LR introduced the overlay harness.
The injector harness is just that. A seperate harness for the injectors.
The HPFP has a pressure control solonoid. It's harness isn't available separately. The standard harness for that is integrated into the engine sensor harness. There is an O ring that fails on the pressure control solonoid though
I wouldn't rush out and order anything yet apart from the seals for the pressure regulator.Thanks Nodge
Will look at the o ring too ( if i can fight past the starter motor!) just in case the rail pressure when cranking code is related to that
any idea best place to get the sensor and harness from? as prices seem to vary between £60 and £154!!
Definitely do the O ring first. Low rail pressure codes could well be related to thatThanks Nodge

You may well find that both codes are combined from a potential regulator or ring issue. The ecu would see both low pressure cranking and a general fuel rail sensor problem as the commanded pressure is not balanced the expected regulator servo output.
You may well not need either sensor or harness. Either way I would not think the sensor itself is at fault
Change the o ring first.
Nodge is well up on these TD4 thingy ma jigs
BMW (broke my wheels) have a lot to answer for...

Yes but it's much cheaper to buy the Bosch pump versionThanks Both
Is this the one?

I got my 16" wheels for £50 from a guy local, then yesterday got these on them.Hi Rich,
That is the best looking wheel / tyre combo I have ever seen on a freelander. ! nice one. Looks perfect.
Might have to find me some 16" rims now..
Really is THE best looking setup - By far - AND it is practical.
Credit to you mate.
Joe
Edit - Also Rich - are they the AT2 ?? - they look like it. - Am just getting a price for some 16" rims sent over here....
Looks purposeful Ali, although you could have had the wheels painted up firstI got my 16" wheels for £50 from a guy local, then yesterday got these on them.
The car is still on stands so haven't got them fitted yet but will do tonight and take some pics asap.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!I got my 16" wheels for £50 from a guy local, then yesterday got these on them.

Nearest I have at hand. As for the wheels, they're pretty good but just need a good clean.Ooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!
I am typing with one hand
Can we have a 'full frontal' shot right up her tread pattern
I have had 'fun' with my freelander this morning - Clobbered a bl00dy sharp lump of granite with my right hand front wheel - knocked the bead of the tyre off the rim
Instant puncture
Tyre not damaged as far as I can tell but getting it checked tomorrow (they have some form of ultrasonic checker). It was the angle I clobbered it - I was just driving up a steep and twisty grassy lane that I use every day - we used to call it 'rock rimming a tyre' - however - since the internet the term 'rimming' is apparently err ... inappropriate..................
The real worrying thing for me is that it is MY steep and twisty grassy lane ... I KNOW it is there - I just misjudged it. Total brain fade / Alzheimer's etc doh . The only feeble excuse I can make is that the thing was grown over.....
Then I (like Grumpy) had wheel nut worries... (Luckily I was on the farm so still had access to my workshop (well - shed )
Undid the front wheel nuts - 4 normal and one special nut - adaptor in the jack bag - Jacked it up, removed wheel, went to rear to remove the never used Michelin original 4X4... undid top two nuts, removed cap from bottom lock nut and - errrr - ooops
Different bl00dy lock nut
Luckily it was on the wheel carrier so not so tight - a pair of vice grips persuaded it to release.
Morals here - I now have a large wooden stick to be painted orange and white to mark the offending granite low level tank trap. I also am getting my local tyre man to sort a key socket for the rear or find me another keyed nut same as the others.
It was also quite 'alarming' to realise that there was no feeling of a deflated tyre as I was on grass - with bone dry sub surface. I drove to the top of the lane, turned around and went back down to check - a. what I had clobbered - and b. if any rim damage /tyre damage had been done.. (It was only then I noticed it was flat as a flat thing ( luckily only at the bottom ....)
I will have to get the little 'selective' flags for the top of the marker stick.
So as the male health adds say- check yer nuts..... and know yer own tracks / roads on yer own property...
tum te tum te tum te tum..
Nurse ? - I need my 'steady' pills......
That's some wierd fence you've got going down the side of the track there. Was it installed by Donald Trump?
lol - I bet they do - a good time will be had by all I am sure.They must do it differently in Portugal, or maybe that's how they used to be as its an old vineyard. They're just straight wire trellises over here, don't bend over at the top.
My daughter works for Giesen Wines and picked up her air tickets for the Christmas bash at the vineyard in Marlborough today. The Giesen brothers know how to throw a good party, as well as making great wine
lol - I bet they do - a good time will be had by all I am sure.
The system is the 'arched trellis' type and is ubiquitous in Northern Portugal - it dates back a long time - long before concrete posts were used.
It is superb if you have a double trellis as it is wonderfully shaded underneath and stops the intense sun at midday.
The vines are for Vinho Verde. This is a small farm in respect of vines compared to some.
Check out this site - part way down the page is info about the trellis system.

Attached is a view from above of most our place - some is off the top of the image- you can see the trellis works all around. The tree over the house went last year - got too big... and the track with the tank trap rock is the small dog leg yellow - as said, it was fully overgrown and had hidden land mines - it ain't any more after this morning
The longer yellow is the main track in from the road but that only goes to the top / front of the house. The lower area has storage areas underneath along with a nice covered area about the size of a big garage (it is actually the underneath of the house)
There are some lovely little testing grounds between some of the terraces. The main track is about 50 feet higher than the lower part of the house. It is all one big terraced slope really. Shame I don't like Vinho Verde..... - I could have a 50 gallon drum every year if I wanted. Have to make do with Oranges, figs, cherries, grapes, olives and chestnuts that are everywhere on the land here. Orange season just coming on, they will be ready next month and available all through the winter - tons of the beggars - literally. Fresh OJ everyday... MMMMmmmm.
Also some other pics that show the trellis system in use - and of course - one of the freeby and it's siblings.
I couldn't work out why the freeby looked strange in the pic ??? - then it clicked - its because the spare is removed for 'surgery'
