    Trouble starting freelander 1 td4

    I was not jocking, I had once to stop my car because there was a very strong gasoil smell. The return hose break, lot gasoil near the injectors, gasoil dripping everywhere. I changed that part before driving again the car, and also put a fire extinguisher in the car.

    Hi, You now have the lovely agricutural sound from the bmw engine ;) New fuel rail presure cost a lot, and need new wires. Cheap low presure pumps are noisy and don’t last … certainly the one was not that faulty. I have a new low presure pump from bosch in it box just in case.

    Freelander won't start

    Hi, Put a diag tool, to see if there is no fault code ... better to erase codes first if you had disconnected a sensor. Is the door locks working / windows ... ? The CCU is responsible for managing the instrumentation, the windows ... Maybe disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes, can help

    So it doesn’t start after you replaced the hp pump ? So the hp pump is certaintly faulty. Do you still have the original HP pump ? The recon pump can be an untested used pump branded as a recon one. For the codes, clean the connector hp pump, and fuel rail presure, erase and try again. If you...

    water pump freelander 1 2005 TD4

    No need to go under the car too see the belt. It can be seen when you open the bonnet and there is a manufacturing date on it :eek:. Only the thermostat housing is in plastic. The pump has aluminium housing.

    Now does it starts ? When was the last time, it has started ? It's a very basic common rail diesel injection engine, how it's possible a garage can't get it working. Does the car doesn't want to start before of after hp pump replacement ?

    Hi, I don't understand does they done something since you had replaced the High Presure Pump ? P0191 is related to the fuel pressure sensor.

    Freelander 1Headlights

    Hi, You can put new head lights, H7. Head lights can last 1 or 2 years, after they provides less and less light. Put you car in a front of a wall, old lights provides a blurry yellow patern, they are good to change. You will certaintly need to adjust light after replacing them.

    Freelander high clutch pedal

    Hi, If it is the Di freelander ( not td4), you have an hydraulic system, with the slave connected by a cable to the cutch. In that system, if the pedal is too high, the slave braket holder can be broken, or worst internal parts of the clutch part is brocken.

    water pump freelander 1 2005 TD4

    If you change the pump, it’s better to change the thermostat, the thermostat houssing is in plastic and can leak. If only the thermostat houssing is leaking, it can be changed in less time than the pump.
