good point :)

if he has a pressure sensor issue he wont read any pressure with diags,( and an immoberliser issue in the ecu) id go for the leak off test easy to do, its fuel air and compression despite all the sensors

But he doesn't know. It's been diagnosed as a pressure sensor issue

but that will only tell him he has a pressure problem which he already knows

Thanks for the response. I looked on ebay last night and did not see any.

Yes he needs diags, my relatively cheap Foxwell does it

he needs the right software for that, besides hes already been told theres no pressure, just hasnt diagnosed were its going, becoming a shot gun repair ( unnessesery ecu mod )

So are your tail lights different from the UK spec item, as there a few here new and used on the eBay sites and shipping to the states as most other places from the UK isn’t difficult, I’ve done it a few times sending stuff abroad of course there...

A quick question to all you knowledgeable people out there... My Defenders Handbrake switch does not seem to do anything???? The switch itself is dodgy (intermittent contact) but grounding the wire on he switch doesn't bring any warning lights on...

I’d get your own and you’ll soon learn how to use it with us. No point going to people that wil read it but not give a definite answer or actually fix it. If you had one (Or a lend) you could check yourself the pump outputs, voltage all sorts of...

Surely plugging diags in to read pressures is the first and easiest step

there are lots of reasons why you cant register fuel pressure, the imoberliser isnt one of them, there are 3 pumps in the system any of which could cause no fuel pressure then there is the fuel pressure relief (mechanical and not monitored) and...

You don't need the code you need to check what the pressures actually are

The diag mechanic told me there was an error from the fuel pressure sensor, but that’s all he told me, I messaged him today asking to give me the code or more info and he said he didn’t save it or whatever and can’t give me any more info, so...

It was more as a test… cos honestly I’m so confused now.. haha ur right, prob next best thing is a diag tool. 👌

Hello Experts, I have just had the transfer box of my 110 pick up replaced. The vehicle now had a vibration between 60 and 75 km/h (37 -47 mph). I have checked the balance of the tire balance - all good; The propshafts have been balanced - all...

I've replaced the injector harness — it was full of oil at the plug at the cylinder head. I cleaned the ECU as well, and so far, after 150 km, there have been no problems with the throttle. Also I've celand most grounding points I can reach. And...

Hi everyone, I've got a 2008 Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 S. The new battery ran down after not starting for a week and when I tried to start the car, after charging the battery, it was just cranking but not starting. The orange information...

You need to check the fuel pressure to at least rule it out. Diags can read them.

According to Mark_C on rr.net L322 section, all the immobiliser does is prevent the key turning & starter engaging. If that's true then sort the fuelling first !! https://www.rangerovers.net/posts/2209790/ But other threads say it stops...

diesel is crank disabled, petrol is fuel disabled

I'd stay in Africa. Seriously.

i had just one faulty injector which prevented the fuel rail from getting to pressure, no pressure and ecu doesnt fire injectors

Well I’ve found a used but working replacement sensor on eBay for 30 quid , might be worth a punt?

Thanks Andy. In that case it will be sold as a 2wd !!

They probably make more money doing immobiliser stuff than fuel regulators & pumps !! Fuel pressure codes are just a clue something is wrong. The diagnostic should also show the actual pressure values.

No they are supposed to be illuminated like all the P38 switches.

Off the car should be 1/3 of the time on the car. Due to the 3:1 diff gearing. So 1.2m and 5Kg on the car at a minute is at end of life. I use as a rule of thumb.

Yes I thought it seemed a little tight. I did read somewhere that after sitting for a while, they need at least one full revolution to distribute the fluid before testing. This one has sat on the bench in my garage for at least 6 months. It...
