    starter motor td4

    The main live cable to the solenoid has to be removed and you should disconnect the battery first, however this means that the radio code will be lost. Therefore if you do not have the radio code you will have a problem, we carefully disconnect the solenoid live cable and shove it inside a...

    Freelander Front Tyre Wear

    I would have expected other symptoms if the cause was due to excessive wear in steering/suspension components e.g. knocking noises or unusual vibration felt through the steering wheel. In addition to tracking errors i.e excessive toe-out, another cause of inside edge tyre wear is incorrect...

    starter motor?

    Ignition switch faults are becoming more common as these Land Rovers get older. Use a 12v test lamp or voltmeter at the starter motor solenoid actuating cable (the thinnest cable) each time the key is turned to the cranking position voltage should be registered, if so, then the ignition switch...

    Anti roll bar moving over due to off roading?

    The ARB should have a blob of weld either side to prevent it sliding to one side or another, These 'blobs' tend to fall off over time and a reasonable bodge is to use a 'Jubilee' clip against a split washer around the ARB just next to the affected ARB rubber mount.

    IRD / VCU Query

    Hi, Recon VCUs are reasonably priced now but before spending any cash, I would drain the IRD oil through a fine filter e.g. tights, and carefully look for any metallic lumps which may be parts of broken IRD components. You could also remove and inspect the IRD output shaft and inspect the...

    Weird starting problem

    Try jump leads from a known good battery, if your engine then starts normally then your battery is probably faulty. Otherwise check all main cables from battery are clean and tight, particularly earth cables. Another possibility is that the contacts within the ignition switch are failing (an...

    Help with Freelander tailgate

    The taildoor solenoid has an adjacent taildoor latch position sensor which signals latch position to CCU. The latch position sensor would appear to be sending incorrect information as the CCU is assuming taildoor closed, whilst it is in fact still open, and therefore returning the taildoor...

    Timer module fitting to TD4 freelander with FBH

    We opted for the much simpler and cheaper Unisys radio switched relays to activate both FBH and high speed blower fan relay using 'Rave' wiring diagrams which are excellent. The driver simply presses the remote button 5 minutes before departure.

    3 Amigos How to remove an ABS sensor

    Well done. Having experienced similar some years ago we now withdraw the sensors during the annual pre-season servicing and apply a smear of Copper-slip and of course due to sods law coming into play we have had no further sensor failures on any of the fleet since!

    Intermittent fuel(?) problem

    I'd guess that a fuel pump is giving up. Early 03 may have two pumps: in tank and engine bay inner wing below fusebox. Later 03 has one pump behind plastic liner o/s/r wheel arch. If the engine won't start leave ignition 'on' and try tapping the pump, a faulty pump will usually then burst into life.
