    Rattly fan ?

    Not much help but when you turn on the fan does it also open some flaps to direct the air? Could be loose. Does it alter when going from upper to lower vents or other vent positions if there are any?

    Everything JLR SDD related (feel free to add experiences/help).

    I dont't know what Nodge68 thinks, but I'm not convinced the ecm is at fault. The CJB has its fingers in the starting pie, Encrypted data so I assume immobiliser type stuff. Data flow would be needed between the 2 modules and correct key being used. Its possibly provided you with a vin, although...

    But if you do manage to reprogram the ecm or any other modules might be worth adding working reults and methods to this thread as well.

    Everything JLR SDD related (feel free to add experiences/help).

    Possible when you try and reset and reprogram the ecm it blindly sends the data for so long before any ecm response. I think you need to establish comms first, checking data lines, powers and earths at the ecm. Do you get communication with any modules? I have no experience with the evoque...

    Grinding noise on LHS front wheel

    Can you rotate the wheel off the ground to see if it only happen a with weight on it? If 4wd then all wheels will need to be lifted. Wheel nut tight?

    Freelander 1 Engine Oil overfilled by Garage?

    Am I stating the obvious but make sure you use axle stands if going under the car. A good jack is so nice to use, well worth the money.

    Boot Window Cables

    From memory the only issues are removing the connections for heated screen as they can break unless you can wedge the window up so it won't drop when undone from the clamps. Make sure it doesn't fall down! The adjuster is a double threaded bolt in the middle that uses an Allen key to hold in...

    Boot Window Cables

    EBay complete regulator is best option I think. Cables can be replaced but there is a knack to getting them on I'd say around fifteen pounds price, easy enough to change

    Freelander 1 Smoky Freelander No clue

    Does it black smoke before the turbo kicks in? Can you confirm the turbo actuator moves fully. Is it worth doing leak back test on injectors? I'd attempt to find issue rather than changing sensors as it's possible to cause more problems, been there before....many time. Over in Ireland all 4x4...

    Freelander 1 TD4 diseasal Freelander that just won't start.

    Are you saying too much leak back fuel? Maybe check with scope crank and cam sensor signals. Are the glow plugs getting power? As you've used the oscilloscope to check fuel pump you could do simple compression test by measuring voltage at battery when cranking, all peaks or drops should be similar.
