    Works best if you use two similar hammers - hold one on the other side of the eye when you smack the eye with the other

    [QUOTE="Nodge68, . The fueling modifications done by coding are literally miniscule, basically it's for emissions cleanliness only. Could it be that these very small adjustments are only on idle - therefore consistent with your symptoms?

    On the hawkeye under maintenance there is a routine for coding a new injector to the ECU - could the ECU be remembering a code for a duff injector in the past?

    Freelander 2 (LR2) Removing the Swirl Flaps - What's best?

    If the swirl flap rod is removed from the inlet manifold - two questions..... Are there any bearings carrying the rod which could now slip out and get ingested? if so should not they be removed? Do the resultant holes between inlet ports make any difference at all?

    Well - when it comes to tools and kit - never a borrower or lender be - if you lend it comes back broke - if you borrow it breaks - you buy a replacement - give it back - and you still don't have one.

    Ours is an HSE Td4 10reg Auto - which means it has the later Haldex but not yet fitted with DPF - that's great for us 'cos Madam drives 1 mile to Bridge sessions four times a week in non-Covid times

    Could you not check the ring gap? Can you find the acceptable ring gap for this engine? or is that an old school practise that's no longer relevant?

    That's good - it will remove the possibility of a shortened con rod from previous grief. I did a lot of miles towing trailer loads of junk for a mate of mine when he moved using his BMW which had swallowed some water in a flood and had one pot slightly down on compression - it would start on...
