HELP. PLEASE.my freelander cut out this morning on my school run.now it wont start.i havent a clue were to start looking .the petrol tank is full so not short of petrol. it did have a new alternator fitted last week thats all.cant see it being that .SO IF ANYONE CAN ADVICE AS WHAT ARE WERE TO START LOOKING I WOULD VERY MUCH APRECIATE IT .THX FOR LOOKING AN HOPE YOU ALL CAN HELP JOAN
Being an optimist, whats the chance that the alternator feeds the ignition and that one of the wires has broke.
Failing that timing belt broke, you would see that if you take the filler cap off the rocker cover and spin the engine over, the cam wont be turning.
is it getting petrol to the engine, fuel pump stopped working or sumat, probably smell it by now if you have been churning it over.
Is it sending a spark down the leads, take one of the spark plug leads off and position it close to a metal bit, turn the engine over and you should see and hear it spark, dont hold it tho you will get a shock.
Thats a general guess not too familiar with these, but probably the route I would take if you called me out to it.
A bit more information would help tho, is it turning over, did it bang and pop before it stopped, any other noises, do you have ignition lights.
