Land Rovers are in a league of their own for breaking down without even moving. Son's 200tdi has decided it wants a fuel pipe leak now for no reason whatsoever.

Can you cut the nut off and replace with a lock nut? You need proper rated bolts not Chinese rubbish made from margarine, 10.9 or whatever they are.

I watched a video on that not so long ago. There is some sort of mod you can do also if you feel inclined to do so. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183965760614 Think that is the kit, what it does I can't remember but apart from that it looks like...

Anyone done this! Any ideas for a fix? Changing rear shocks followed the dreaded Haynes for Torque settings (125NM) and stripped the lower rear shock captive nut! As temporary fix am going to put in stock M12 bolt with lock nut from hardware...

Remove the 2 screws & replace the O ring… Yep I know how much diesel they loose as it’s happened to me. (Think I turned the o ring over to get me home) Nothing will fall out

Morning All. :D Happy Saturday. :) Have a great day. :D

Have a look at dieselinjectionpumps.co.uk Parts and information/diagrams available. I think that cover is for the pump advance mechanism, a spring/plunger is in there. Cover has a gasket or O ring to seal. I am no expert on diesel pumps but...

Welding has gone crap with most of the suppliers. Thickness of metal has gone thinner. Most plastics are the same. Nothing built to cope with a few years of abuse

Morning all, This place has been an amazing source of help and info for years for me but I’ve never got round to signing up. I live in Oxfordshire and have had a few defenders of various shapes and sizes. Now I’m taking on a ground up build of...

Mine is an Auto Late 2006 FL Td4

Still no further on. Thinking of running a decent earth and live feed from the fuse to a test bulb holder and working my way through each junction until I find the problem. It has been suggested that a dodgy junction may allow enough live feed to...

Huh? Guessing you haven't owned one then, or maybe didn't know where to look? There is a MASSIVE range of "aftermarket" parts for BMW, even from the manufacturers who made the originals: Lemforder, Valeo, Bosch, Bremi, Beru, etc, etc, etc. They...

I was going to rant and be very unhappy that it is still leaking. But I now have an injector pump pouring fuel (LINK) so am unsure if the fuel on the filler begins from the filler neck or from the pump that has covered everything underneath and...

My fuel pump has decided it does want to have fuel on the inside any more. I appear to be pumping fuel out of the cover circled below. Is this something that I can repair myself or is this a terminal failure and I need to send it off for rebuild.

Thanks for your help and advice, will defo order this and try with a full tank of fuel. Based on the fault code, do you have any experience or suggestions of other areas I need to check ? I know the picture show the cylinders etc as potential...

Module or crank sensor or connection

I have now a blinking Check Engine Light, I haven't done anything last night. Diagnostics doesn't want to communicate.

Negative or ground. Clean all you can find everywhere.

Will try to do the "dextrose" method together with the matching 10AS Box But after this D1 ill need to go on the D2s Clicking fuse box. :homer:

Will check the fusebox for burnt traces as well.

I missed that one, let me get the 10AS from my donor car and get back here to update. this is the current 10AS Module on the one im trying to fix.

Manifold bolts are bottom four 11mm nuts and one 11mm bolt. Top row are all 10mm captive bolts and are not that tight so undoing them should be easy, i will try and add a few photos over the weekend.

Shirley it’s not at that point yet

Check the bottom crank pulley for delaminating damper, they start clicking when failing.

No spider on an Auto, immobiliser seems to be inside the injector pump. I'm not too sure, but if you've changed the injection pump, you also need to use the same green ecu to match the donor pump. Someone may correct me on this. Unfortunately...

On a 2005 the remote fob just does the central locking and alarm. The immobiliser is a completely different system consisting of a chip in the key that communicates with a Sawdoc immobiliser ECU via the coil on the ignition barrel. You can buy a...

Yes, more angry I think. It is a long story, quite complicated I think but she's been through the courts, exhausted all avenues and ended up with a criminal conviction on top of it all. We're not sure of the full details but something went...

Naw...my DNA is Rhodesian and does not like coldness...

While running the DTCs and exploring other modes available on my 2006 L314 Td4 I've switched the Cruise Control light on, could this imply the ECU may be capable of having Cruise fitted ?
