Well now - after a short intermission to re-decorate my Daughter's house - I have received a genuine Bosch MAF and fitted it - same part number came off.- not done the low pressure fuel pump and filter yet - change one thing at a time. Now that's interesting............ With the new MAF my...

- so while waiting for my new low pressure fuel pump and filter to arrive I thought - out of curiosity - why not unplug the MAF and see how she runs on default. - Bingo - car feels much perkier and I get fuel rail pressures similar to my daughter's car up the hill in 4th. - and if I rev the nuts...

Just followed the test procedure from that youtube vid above and got the following readings for voltage from the blue/black wire on the pressure sensor. ignition on 0.5v Idle 1.45V 3000 rpm 2.5v - which suggests the high pressure fuel regulator is functioning as it should...

So I have the correct injectors - see piccy - 0445110 130 - thanks again for the info Andy - looks like when the engine was swopped they also swopped the injectors unless they were also used on some variant of the '75

Great Andy - I will have a look - many thanks - "one less thang" - as Forest Gump said :):):)

The Daughter's is manual - If I remember correctly the FL1 Auto injectors were upped a bit over manual - but I have no idea what a '75 would be - and whether it was a manual or auto '75 engine that was used - any help on identifying injectors would be great. I did check that both FL1s registered...

What about this little bugger Nodge68 ?

Actually we're talking about my F1s - which according to Rave are only 112HP and 260NM torque - All I know is it said on the service history for mine that engine and turbo were replaced "supplied by customer" and the barcode labels suggest the lump was from a Rover 75 rather than a Land Rover...

Just done that - it drops to about 310kpa if I rev the bollocks off it and go up the hill in 3rd - it gets circa 109000kpa high pressure doing that - still down on yours and still down on our other one at the lower revs

Yeah - down on power - why? - no oily air leaks - reasonable economy - no noticeable turbo lag, it shows progressive boost pressure increase all through the rev range. Could this be pump or fuel filter related? - or is it more likely the ECUs are getting some duff info?

If I put my 05 Freelander 1 TD4 flat out up a local hill locked in 4th (Weston Bank near Stafford) my Hawkeye gives me circa 205kpa boost and a fuel pressure of 85000kpa at around 60mph over the top If I put my Daughter's 02 Freelander 1 TD4 up the same hill in the same way it is noticably...

Thanks Guys - my search didn't find that (typically) clear concise explanation from Nodge

What is the reported fuel comp telling me - and what limits are acceptable - as read by my Hawkeye on Freelander 1 TD4 engines? I have two in the yard at the moment. Mine reads Cyl 1 -1.6mm3 Cyl 2 -0.2 mm3 Cyl 3 +1.7 mm3 Cyl4 -O.4 mm3 And the car starts and runs well The other - my...

On load the netgear chargers just maintain a happy voltage similar to the float charger - current is a little less than my float charger but it's enough to maintain the batteries - even so I just rotate them when I have occasion to go into the sheds - golden rule on my patch is everything must...

I have a cupboard full of 12v units left over from Netgear routers etc - I have fitted a couple of them with clips and use them as battery maintenance chargers - they deliver similar current as a trickle charger. I rotate them on stuff in the barn which may be left for considerable periods

Both my F1 & F2 (Autos) are perfectly capable offroad on wet grass/steep grassy banks/thick mud/pulling the chicken run around the field/hauling caravans up muddy wet slopes etc.all on road tyres. For fun days/Forests/Quarries/etc We used the S11A V8 Lightweight on Mud Pluggas - but don't do...

That's a huge cowpat next to Bounty's car - would hate to meet the cow

I had a typical t junction one - I looked right - decided not to go - BMW behind looked right - took off - straight into towbar of my old Xantia - Crumple zone BM uch!!! perfectly happy Xantia - BM lady said "do you want my insurance etc?" Being magnanimous I said "that's OK dear - Don't worry...

Back atcha (;-)>

I found if the glass presses too tight against the seal on the back door it leaks in places - sounds wrong but worked for me after I renewed my cables
