When you have access you can disconnect the two pin connector from the compressor and use a DVM to measure the impedance between the two pins on the compressor connector (not the free end on the end of the wires obviously). This will give you the impedance of the solenoid. It should be less...

Now I was going to say throttle position sensor until I read through what you have to tell us. I'd say from a gut feeling you have a bad earth somewhere. When seemingly unconnected systems start to interact then its usually because a shared earth is floating free of the frame potential. Its...

Okay, the first thing to check is this. Switch on the ignition. Now, with the bonnet open, can you hear the sound of a motor running? It should be the fuel pump at the front of the engine. One thing to query, the engine management light is orange. Are you sure your light is red or is it...

:eek::rolleyes:;)

Better idea, buy another V6 lump and sit it ready to switch over. Then, when the current one blows you can spread the cost of the rebuild..... Happy freelandering. :D

Check the electromagnetic clutch is engaging. Been known to fail. One of our number spent lots of time and money on the gas circuit when all he really lacked was the mechanical drive the the compressor.

Now I've been on here 20 months (as I was surprised to discover) and I have to say that my Hippo is not crap!!!:mad: Its not great, granted, but when it works it works bloody well.:p;):rolleyes: Look at it this way, it could be a P38.....:eek:

Now having said that, the search facility on here leaves a lot to be desired. I have, on several occations, attempted to find a post of mine to refer to and ended up just looking through the MY REPLIES list as the search facility can not find the "blinkin obvious".

Yeap, your right MHM, the same old question do get me down. I'll answer some of them but leave others. One of us will pick them up, even if it is "Try a search". However, if the individual has made an effort or its a bit of a different fault then I'll make an effort too. At the end of...

:hysterically_laughi Thats a great way of putting it, :D

The thing that doesn't add up with this problem though is that if the throttle is opened on a K series but there is insufficent fuel pressure to allow an increase in the injection quantity then you can't escape the fact that the butterfly valve has opened, so the mixture is now very weak, so the...

This is the kind of thing that we excel at http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/freelander-not-starting-107037.html#post1094665

Result!! Great news. :clap2: Happy Freelandering. :D Cheers, Dave

Your right, this forum is relaxed and long may it stay that way. However, there are many of us that are sick to the teeth of the anti freelander drone that goes on. There are rules on this forum and I'm sure that that making personal attack against others is not allowed. Some of the posts on...

Yes, but that is going to extremes. What I simply refer to is that pointless posts within the "Car Model" sections should be removed. The statement "Burn it", is pointless, unhelpful and childish. To be honest its borning and not even funny. So the poster doesn't like Freelanders, so thats...

Perhaps you might go back a read the start of this thread. I work it out as three hours between posting the OP and responding. Three replies, one that was useful and to subject, the second saying "burn it" and the third complaining about the second but spoling it with the "shove it up yer arse...

You sound like you speak from experience there Fanatic!! :p

Right, refueled last night. 404.3 miles, 300 on worn 195 Synchrones, about 80 on 215 off-road tyres and about 20 on brand new 195 Latitude cross. Used 51.38 litres, so that gives 35.77MPG. Reset the clock. Now lets see what these "fuel saving tyres" can do.

Sounds like your clutch needs some work, your engine needs a service, the induction system cleaned out, the EGR blanking, the fuel filter changing, the crack breather filter changing and a Synergy 2 fitted to it. However, as you're off to the dark side with the Defender then there is no...

Is there any misfire or rough running? Or is it simply like the throttle is disconnected?
