    Freelander 1 Just toured Bonnie Scotland again

    'cmon, don't hold back on the photos - I want to see the ghostly Scotsman in a Hippo at the haunted castle :-)

    Terraclean

    I'll second that. I changed my injectors recently and decided to take one apart just for fun. I was a tiffy in the Navy so trained to do machining, fitting and electrical stuff + 30 years civvy engineering experience. I took the injector apart, marvelled at the engineering involved and thought...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    I'll second that - I may even think about a tatty old L series as a toy just to try some of this stuff on.

    Upgrade to Freelander 2

    It might be worth emailing RoverRon - he may do a reprogramming service

    How to date a TD4 Engine?

    Cut it in half and count the rings :bounce:

    Biodiesel fuel.

    I've worked on Borneo (Sarawack and Sabah - Orangutan country) - it's not rapeseed they're planting but palm oil - but the sentiment is the same. It's pretty scary driving on some roads at night 'cos the illegal loggers drive without lights and don't stop if they hit you - then the illegal palm...

    Terraclean

    That can be true too. I work away for 1 or 2 months at a time and leave my cars (x-type and now TD4) full of diesel for my wife to use on her 3 mile trips. First thing I do is fill her up with diesel and take for an Italian tune up to blow out the cobwebs - car not wife :D

    Terraclean

    I can only speak from my own experience and I did work for the fuel additives industry a few years ago, for several years, so have a reasonable understanding of the benefits. I always use good fuel (Typically Shell nitro or BP equivalent), but I don't know what was used before I buy a second...

    Terraclean

    The terraclean is connected to the fuel supply - I think it replaces the supply to HP pump. I had a spare manifold and egr which I'd painstakingly cleaned too so didn't want to waste my efforts...

    What have you done to your Freelander today

    Filled the TD4 and x-type with diesel. Sadly left the UK for a couple of months for work so my wife has parked up her Citroen C3 and is using my cars and all my fuel:car:

    Terraclean

    I'll throw my 2 pennyworth in here 'cos I'm a big fan of terraclean - but it does come with potential problems. I had my x-type 2.0 diesel terracleaned at 60k miles a couple of years ago. I did a lot of research and reading and the Jag owners love it. My car was transformed with smoother...

    TD4 - Which is injector 1?

    Just to put this to bed....... The bottom left bolt on the inlet manifold is M7 - I used M7 x 50.

    Dealer breaks window, your thoughts please

    I'm not with LR, just posted their address for you to use if you want to - it's really up to you now whether you want to walk away with the loss or try to force LR's hand, only you can do this - they won't read the forum and come and appologise, you need to make them.

    Dealer breaks window, your thoughts please

    They do have a small claims court in England. Go visit your local dealer and if they refuse to pay, send a copy of the bill to LR head office in Coventry - tell them it's the last 'free' communication you will make on the matter and all other letters, visits, lawyers etc will be chargeable. Be...

    Fuel rail pressure sensor

    This sounds like mine. Mod was done before I got the car - loom goes from pressure sensor direct to ECU housing. The previous (original) wiring went from ECU box to loom near glow plug connectors, then on to the pressure sensor. The old loom was cut near the sensor, at the glow plug area and...

    TD4 - Which is injector 1?

    I was guessing at M7 as my M6 and M8 don't fit - and as a German engine are unlikely to be Whitworth or UNC - was just being a bit cheeky asking as you gave such a good reply to my original question :) I'll buy a few bolts and post the size here - with the injector removal results. Cheers...

    TD4 - Which is injector 1?

    Cheers Irishrover - I'll get the new bolt set and washers. I don't suppose you know which bolt (or thread size) I need for the air intake manifold (Plenum chamber). It is the bolt on the bottom row, left hand side, with 11mm socket head (this is the single bolt, the others are studs in the head...

    TD4 - Which is injector 1?

    Hi Guys, quick question. My icarsoft 930 tells me that injector 1 has balance/contribution error. I don't have a problem changing this myself, but which is injector 1 as I look at it from the front of the car? Cheers, Alan

    Which countries are Freelander owners viewing the forum from?

    I normally view from England, but travel a lot with work. I have read the forum from Korea, China, Germany, UAE etc - sometimes it's a pain with videos because they can be blocked for no apparent reason in middle/far east - but please leave them accessible to everyone :-)
