Do you know if the other readings taken from the plug are what would be expected ? My suspicion is that there is a damaged wire in the loom. The plug loom goes into a plastic junction box a few inches below the sensor.It does look like it has been compressed at the entry point and I thought I...

Hi all looking for one final push to get over the line as I'm not out of the woods yet. The new coolant sensor hasn't fixed the issue. The Situation is that if i disconnect the coolant sensor plug the car starts 1st turn of key every time. If I put plug back on it resorts to taking six or more...

Well now I am getting very hopeful as it started again no problem.:D:D The fan and engine management light is on as expected but I genuinely cannot get smile off my face :D. Ill fit a new sensor tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed. Ill let you know outcome thanks again for your help and advice ;)

Ok I removed the MAF sensor and it didnt have any effect. I then removed the coolant temperature sensor and put everything back together. It started straight away.so I took it round the block. The red temp light is on as I expected it would but the fan is also on constant. Even after switching...

Hi Well bear with me :D ... I did disconnect a temp sensor previously when Nodge suggested it could be a possibility. It didn't make difference unfortunately and rather than buy a new one I had worked on the assumption that the ecu would input a default reference which kind of ties in with...

The wiring harness has made no difference unfortunately so still completely stumped on this.The problem I have is that any garage I take it to would naturally want to satisfy themselves and go through all the same checks/tests I have already done. Ultimately they would have to charge a fortune...

Turns out that these do not need a washer after all and whatever Rave is referring to is either inaccurate or a different version. I have just fitted the new harness and will see if it makes any difference.

Ok now worked it out and thought best to post pics just in case it helps anyone searching for same answer. The ecu plug has two separate internal block connectors within it. You have to slide these out to remove wires. First you insert slim screwdriver from side and push each one out as in...

Realise this is an old post but I have a 2005 Freelander TD4 and trying to fit the harness at moment. I have been trying to fathom out how to remove the pins and still not seeing how they come out. Is the 2005 a different plug setup ? I tried to insert micro thin screwdriver and push up from...

I am still waiting on the overlay harness being delivered had hoped it would have arrived today.I have taken off air intake manifold just to get a heads up on what needs to be done. While i was there I removed the pressure sensor and the adapter and the internal oval metal thingy. What I noticed...

So far I replaced low pressure pump and fuel filter , renewed battery, starter motor,crankshaft sensor , replaced crankcase breather with the upgrade, cleaned air intake manifold and removed gunk from EGR ,replaced both air filters renewed all glow plugs.I swapped camshaft sensor with brothers...

Hi No those readings were taken during a non starting episode within the past hour. It started this morning first turn of key as normal.

I nipped out and checked the pressure readings as suggested . Prior to cranking engine it read.... Manifold 99 ; low pressure 97 ; high pressure 0. During cranking this changed to Manifold 99; low pressure 358 ; high pressure 46k once started it reads manifold 97.5 ; Low pressure 370 and high...

Sorry buddy but It looks like you have completely misunderstood previous comment and came at me with both barrels ;). Just to be absolutely clear This can under normal circumstances does not emit excessive smoke of any colour. It starts runs and drives perfectly without a puff. The question I...

Hi I have persevered well beyond 5 seconds many many times with no joy even still do it occasionally in frustration. All I would get is clouds of white smoke and not a chance of catching..You know yourself you can hear when an engine is getting close to firing. Trust me it needs those 5 or more...

I turn key and hold for about 4-5 seconds. If doesnt start I return key to start position wait about 10 seconds and try again. Brother has exact same car and his starts at first turn of key. His is actually same model, year and colour Im tempted to switch registration plates :D.

If I start it in morning drive for say 20 minutes and stop. I can restart it no problem. If i leave it for 20 mins or more though it will struggle again.What readings would you expect to see at idle ? I did post my readings previously and seemed to be in line with others.I think it was Low...

Ok tried both exercises now. On Thursday I removed and sprayed electrical cleaner on every connector I could find plus all the ecu sockets relays etc.Tried to start afterwards but same result (5 crank attempts before it would start) . I then gave second experiment a go. I last used car Friday...

Got them from Eurocarparts

I'm not sure I have as it was the high pressure regulator o rings and seal I replaced. Is there also a known issue and repair kit for the sensor ?
