Yes I totally agree that you generally get what you pay for but its hard to decipher which of these pumps are best quality. Cant base it purely on price as I've seen the same £35 units selling for more than twice that price. Are there known brands to look out for and likewise avoid for these...

There are low pressure pumps on ebay from £30 up to £160 odd. I got a cheap one a couple months ago for £35 and fitted it but have wondered ever since if Id made a mistake. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-FREELANDER-TD4-REMOTE-FUEL-PUMP-WFX000181-/401122243543? My Freelander td4 2005 car...

Great thanks I'll ignore it :D ;)

Thanks ! Do you know if that mean my car should have a FBH fitted or do all TD4s have these connectors hanging loose?

I was checking out fuel pump / filter on rear wheel arch and seen this connector hanging loose. Anyone know what its for and where it should go ? Freelander TD4 2005 http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h299/GCG1967/IMG_12921_zpsxbut03my.jpg

Thanks for swift reply ! If these two sensors would generate fault codes then Im guessing my issue lies elsewhere as no codes present.Any idea what could possibly be left to check ?

I had already sanded earth connections but have now replaced the starter motor as suggested . I am however still in same boat as still takes multiple attempts before starting. Battery is also new and starter is getting full voltage. Does anyone know if crankshaft sensor or fuel pressure sensor...

Do you know if either of these would emit a fault code if faulty ? I had thought about that camshaft wiring at the time. I removed the sensor and tried to crank without putting sensor in to see if that would log a fault. it did ( P1e25 ) so im assuming that means wiring ok. what you reckon ?

Hi all, I am kind of running out of solutions on this one. I have been trying to solve poor starting problem on my 2005 freelander td4 97k miles. It starts but only after 5-6 attempts.If its been running for while and if not left more than 10 minutes it will start ok but if left longer it...

Can anyone offer any thoughts on this for me ?

I carried out the full running leak off test and here were my results .... http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h299/GCG1967/IMG_1233_zpsm1gkvplb.jpg These result were after about 4-5 mins running. Does this suggest there is an issue with injectors or do they look ok ? Dont let the digits on the...

Yes in my case I was lucky that only the plug tip was left in the hole. The threaded part of plug and body was out so I was able to spray penetrating spray into hole. I used halfords shock and unlock as few forums report that has better results than plusgas. Not sure if anyone here has compared...

Well two weeks later and it finally blew out.:D I had stripped it down another 4 times in past fortninght and each time soaked with the Halfords shock unlock penetrating spray. Today on way home it blew out as I was accelerating. Heard the Pop and it started Puffing smoke from glow plug hole...

Hi I don't have the tools to carry out compression test but it doesn't have any symptoms other than poor starting. It ticks over nicely ,drives and accelerates absolutely fine. I had it plugged in to snap on diagnostic machine and it had no fault codes hence my continued search. :confused:

Hi thanks for comments . There are two test on these forums for leak back. I think its chaser who posted them. The first is just ignition on final position (not cranking). For this the leak off pipes have to be removed and the pipe running from front of engine plugged. The connectors don't need...

Has anyone managed to have a look / listen for me ? Hoping someone can spot or hear something Im missing :)

Hi All, Still trying to get to bottom of why my Freelander TD4 2005 takes multiple attempts to start. I have so far renewed fuel pump and filter at rear wheel arch ; Done the starter motor solenoid repair kit ; Replaced battery and put in two new glow plugs. Today I carried out the static and...

I was considering using coke earlier as I read that somewhere but wasn't sure if that would make a bad situation worse. I did try to prise out gently but its not for budging yet. I'll keep using the car and soaking it with lubricant every few days in hope it loosens up or blows out. Having the...

Well despite best efforts I have joined the broken glowplug club :eek: I followed all advice as best I could but one of the plugs is goosed and stuck in block. I made sure engine was hot and carried out short turns in each direction whilst soaking in wd40 between turns. The middle two plugs were...

Thanks for this! I'm glad I chose to stop and revisit. Sometimes when you have gone to all the effort of stripping parts down its easy to get tempted to force the issue to justify the time spent.
