Thanks, They lit up this morning when I tried it, but the bloody car still won't start - but that's a different post ;-)

Further update. Came to start the car this morning thinking all would be fine. Same problem.....the engine turned and turned and turned without kicking in and firing. I tried turning the ignition on to let the glow plugs warm up a few times but still no joy. The mechanic said that he had...

Sorry if this has been covered - I have read conflicting answers so thought i could just ask here. After a series of problems my 05 TD4 has come back from the garage today. They have changed all 4 glow plugs and the glow plug relay. Before i took it to them i was sure that the glow plug...

Just had an update from the garage. They have fitted 4 new glow plugs and a new glow plug relay. It fired and started on first attempt! They then left it a while and tried it again. Second time the glow plug lights did not light up on the dashboard but it did turn over and start. The mechanic...

ahh, mine is an 05 so i just punted up the full amount - could have re-used the old sensor but it looked a bit past it and well coated with grime when i inspected it

I replaced one of mine recently - the one from the intercooler to the manifold - I couldn't see or feel a hole with it fitted but a couple of days later it "popped" and then i could see the hole (could fit 3 fingers in it) it was just below where the screw head had worn the hose away. Mine...

Just an update And a Question..... After removing and cleaning the low pressure fuel pump and filter (in wheel arch - good pressure and clean fuel coming through it) and doing what ever other basic tests i could manage, i had to resort to taking the TD4 to the garage as the problem was...

Probably not the problem, but does yours have the fuel burning heater in it? Could it be that firing up?

I gave it a good 2 second squirt - I'm just wondering if the booster pack i used just isn't powerful enough - it's one of the £60 sealed battery ones from Halfords. Over the weekend I'll get a proper jump start from my fathers disco. I will check the back fuel pump and injectors out too - even...

I actually bought some "Easy Start" spray from Halfords on the way home tonight to try. My battery was still flat so i was using a Halfords Jump Start Boost Pack. I sprayed into the inlet pipe while my missus turned the engine over but it still didn't catch. That is presuming that i was spraying...

Is that not the low fuel warning light?

Thanks for the reply, I have spent a very interesting 4 hours reading through the forum (I have learnt so much) and came across that a couple of times. But as you say, it seems to be when the engine is hot. It is now on my list of things to check when i get home from work, along with injector...

Hi all, I've owned a Freelander for 2 years now (3 door 2005 TD4) and have loved every minute of driving it until recently. A couple of months ago the rear differential unexpectedly decided to throw some of its cogs through the case, but I Fixed that with a reconditioned part. Then this...
