Hello,
I am currently attempting to repair a 2003 Freelander TD4 for a friend.
My friend finished work, jumped in the car and attempted to start, it cranked and didn't fire.
This was consistent, there were no missfires or "close starts" - it just plain refused.
The AA was called out and the diagnostic computer was plugged in - this showed the cam or crank sensor (no printout given).
The Freelander was started with a quick blast of easy-start and ran - idled fine but lacking power - Engine Management light was illuminated until it was dropped off with me.
So far, this forum has been an invaluable resource, I have read a few no start threads and found a lot of information.
I started diagnosing by going to the fuel-pump inside the wheel-arch first. This sounded healthy and was flowing diesel to the fuel lines in the engine bay.
I have purchased used cam and crank sensors (awaiting delivery).
I also carried out an injector leak-back test whilst I was cranking the engine - injector 3 seemed to flow excessive diesel from the top. I have purchased a used injector with the same part number (044511C 049) - my question is, do the injectors need to be "coded" to the ECU, or will it be happy just being swapped over?
Many thanks.
