Is there any way of testing the maf ?without going and getting a new one or just un plugging it to see if it runs any different

Nothing at all apart from when the maf was disconnected

I've tried running it without the maf plugged in and doesn't seem to make any difference my garage has said today posible timing could be out or the ecu is knackered I've also tried kleening the fuel rail pressure sensor but to be fair didn't look too bad

Yeah had the injectors tested and leak back test was all within tolerance maf seems to be ok had all hoses changed for silicon ones, egr blanked off, crankcase filter changed, 2 oil changes

So I've have my 54 plate td4 for about 2 mths now and it has been in the garage more than on my drive and is still missing and smoking under 2000rpm I've had all the usuall stuff done and all the injectors checked I just don't know where to go with this any longer and I'm on the verge of...

Just an update had all 4 injectors out and checked today and all are or ok so they have suggested looking into the timing being out now, will they ever get to the bottom of this problem? ?

Ok so I've changed the ccb valve changed the egr valve just about to put some injector cleaner in with the fuel if it still smokes after that am I right in thinking it could be an injector problem? ?

Just ordered the blanking kit for the egr valve should have it all replaced tomorrow I guess I'll just have to see how that goes thanks for the advice guys will keep you updated

Ok spoke to a landrover technician today he has suggested that injectors would more than likely be the last resort , and to replace the crank case breather filter and another valve next to it and to get some fuel injection cleaner into the fuel first, and see how that goes . Would anyone...

It's going to have a new ccf put on today I'll let you know later on if they get to the bottom of the problem

OK I've got it booked into the garage tomorrow so I'll let them know that this could possibly be the problem thanks zippy

Hi guys really need some advice I've just bought a 2004 td4 and it seems to smoke and sound quite rough till it has warmed up and a strong smell of diesel also I've tried blanking off the egr hose but does not seem to make any difference any advice would be very useful

Thanks for the advice also got another question I've seen lots of stories about smoking and rough running td4s on cold start up but has anyone got to the bottom of this problem as mine is doing it now

Hi guys just bought a 2004 td4 freelander and need to replace the vcu and bearings so I'm going to convert it to 2 wheel drive for the moment while I get the prop all sorted , is this a straight forward job and do I need to get a blanking plate for ird box ??
