Hello all,

Ive got a 2000 freelander (or as you more accurately call it, a gaylander!)

Anyway, i have used this forum for fault finding and problem solving for the last year and usually a bit of perserverence on searching will give me my answer.

Just thought i would join up to thank all the regular contributors for sharing what they know. Some of us really apppreciate it!

My most recent problem is being a pain, so its off to a L/R independent on Monday, I guess some problems just cant be solved on a driveway by a hopeful, but incompetent man (with a can of wd40 though).

Mike

A belated :welcome:.
Glad that some hippoo owners dont find the banter to much.

And what is this most recent problem to challenge the forum with?

It is always worth remembering that if main stealer mechanics were so Goddam smart, they wouldn't be mechanics, they would be brain surgeons or something. Ask the forum - say exactly year and model of Landy, give the best description you can of the problem, how it started, how it shows up, then sit back and wait.....

The most recent problem is that the engine cranks but wont start. its like its immoblised.

its not immobilised as far as i turn off the immobiliser, the immob light goes out. so i started diagnosin from there.

its not the fuel pump in the tank, its not a blocked fuel filter, it has fuel up to the injectors as i cracked off the unions and there is fuel there. so basically the injectors are the stopping point.

possible faults.. bad injectors, faulty crank sensor (or other sensor related) or an ecu fault.

I am a mechanic in training ,and i really hate the idea of someone else working on my cars (yeah i have a few) but right now, i need to know what the ecu thinks the problem is, or if the ecu is the fault.

I wont go to the main stealers, ever. so i am going to an independent who i hope will diagnose the fault for me.

Oh, bit of history, the car wasworking fine, i washed it,used it for a 3 mile journey and then parked on a slope. there is fuel in there, so that sensor should be fine (but i guess it may have gone)

My money is on it being the crank sensor or alarm ecu, but who knows, find out on monday!
