    Solid flywheel scam

    Yep I know I could have got my money back but with the car in bits I didn't fancy a long winded dispute over who is right. Just wanted others to know that these are not original kits, and god forbid pass it on to a second party to fit and end up with two labour bills.

    Solid flywheel scam

    Hi all, 97 on the clock so as the engine is all sorted it was time to overhaul the running gear starting with the clutch as it was heavy and juddered. So first rule is to replace everything and so I thought a solid conversion was the way to go. Now I had seen Valeo did this and found a...

    td4 starting prob

    As an update to everything I have just mot'd the car with the following. EGR bypass - synergy II set to 2 with maf on and power off - Tesco 2 stroke in tank - cat internals removed (see wasp nest) vortex breather - K&N filter - new injectors - original Bosch maf on 93900 Miles and complete...

    Synergy II question

    Maybe what I really need to know is if a new Bosch Maf will give better results than a new Pierburg Maf, understandably it probably needs changing but which is best regardless of price or lifespan.

    Td4 wasp nest

    Well all I can say is after a few days normal driving it certainly pulls more and gives better breathing at high revs. So far it is worth the effort and with an mot at the end of May I will put that "visual test only" to the test.

    Synergy II question

    Hi Nick Was your maf faulty or just a service item? Greg

    Synergy II question

    So done everything possible now apart from replacing my maf but would say the old girl is flying but just to be sure everything possible is on tap was considering a new maf as it has done 93k. However it's set on 2 and is running better with the maf set to ON than OFF but worse if I go to 7...

    Td4 wasp nest

    If like me you shrug the comfort of 4 wheels for a 2 wheeled grin giver then you also know that wasps only purpose in life is to fly in your visor or unsecured zips and buzz around you when stopping for a brew. So it has become apparent that some species are prone to building nest in Freelander...

    Hi S. Was certainly heading that way and will give the dealer a chance before going down the DPH route, 200.1 on a 2 stroke mix sounds a sensible option now.

    td4 starting prob

    Hi Singvogel, they cost £600 so probably £150 to £200 would have been mark up for their testing and carriage etc, but like I said I needed to know that I wasn't masking over any other problem. Hence why I havn't clocked up many miles last year. Check out ebay UK as several of the Genuine LR...

    td4 starting prob

    Hi to all, yes I have an answer but time for a quick recap. All breathing mods and filters have been done and running a Synergy II setting 2 - once upon a time I would get in turn the key and let the idiot lights to go out, then one turn and it would always fire up. Then I had a few occasions...

    Synergy 2

    Is 6 different to 1 with the maff set to off ?

    Synergy 2

    Hi Formstone, pretty much the same set up on mine - what settings are you running? Unfortunately my injectors need overhauling :( so only running on setting 1 with the maff comp on at the moment but was on 2 before that.

    td4 starting prob

    Though I would run another leakback from cold now the cleaner has run through and add a few pics. First you need to remove the cover and look for the injectors. Then remove the screw and unplug the harness for access Clamp the return pipe and I like to fully remove the retaining clips...

    td4 starting prob

    To bring it up to date New glow plugs have been fitted and was not the problem, If the weather goes cold enough to bring the light on then it starts fine but it's not cured. Going to have the injectors tested and overhauled at a Bosch specialist in mid October when I have some time off, in the...

    td4 starting prob

    To update on this situation cleaning the manifold does smooth the engine out but the new glow plugs have not changed anything. Starting on the button is slowly getting less reliable and certainly a slight "running on two" as the engine ejects the fuel that has not ignited in a puff of smoke is...

    Leak back test advise please

    Has anyone ever used with M+B Fuel Injection or S+S Diesels for injector refurbs?
