    Freelander tail door windown on armored cars

    Hi, I'm assuming export model and refer to appropriate wiring diagrams: The CCU memory power is via fuse 14 -5A & fuse 15 -20A in under dash fusebox. A 12v rechargeable battery pack could be switched in here during main battery removal. If welding were being carried out on the vehicle then...

    Freelander Rear Door Lock iffy

    It is possible to 'fool' the system into thinking the door is closed. With the door open use a screwdriver to rotate the latch mechanism upwards to the vertical position. This should cause the latch position sensor to signal the CCU 'door closed' and the window glass should then rise. If this...

    Manufacturers Servicing Requirements?

    As with warranties you have to comply with the terms and conditions. This cover is potentially worth £2500 p/a minus £125 excess. It's got to be worth having the service carried out by a local LR specialist working to the correct schedule and stamping the service record.

    Freelander wont start ( Sometimes )

    Model year ? Does the engine actually crank but not start? If the engine in fact does crank is there any smoke from the exhaust whilst cranking?

    TD4 idling roughly

    The trick is preventative maintainance, a squirt of penetrating oil round the injectors regularly and they slide out beautifully when necessary.

    td4 fuel problems

    Diagnostic equipment is only as good as the person operating it. Usually only one person in the workshop is sent on the training course and then expected to show all the others which is useless and unfair on the equipment in my experience.

    Idle poor/cuts out when engine hot

    Hi, One way of identifying MAF problems is to disconnect it from the system temporarily. The ECU will then substitute for the missing information and if an improvement to the problem is obvious then you can usually assume that the MAF is giving bad information. I have yet to replace any MAFs on...

    Glow plugs

    Helpfull info: Just a couple of points to consider: New seals will probably be required for the inlet manifold. A completely siezed/cross threaded glow plug may shear off flush with the cylinder head.

    Seconded: Any diesel flander is worth a look but it's a buyers market. Make sure it's got the propshafts fitted if it hasn't walk away.

    On going Aerial issues??

    It's vital that the outer screening of the coax has a good connection to the vehicle body. Also ensure that the screening and centre signal cable are insulated from each other.

    Smoke and lack of power

    Just down by the passenger foot well it makes a bit of a humming noise just as it happens and when stops there is a tiny grinding noise for a few sends from the same spot… then fine. When not doing it it drives fine... The Turbocharger is close to that area. Worth checking for loose or split...

    (Very) Intermittent non-starter Td4

    Yes if that pump responds to a quick 'thud' it might be worth cleaning its electrical connections but it's probably coming to the end of it's useful life.
