Shame you aren't closer... I would love to assist. {edit} - It looks like your steel coolant pipe will be leaking soon pal.. - just double check it.... it looks badly corroded from the pic. (look at my threads and you will see the challenge I have - of my own)

My key died... and would only start on one key, or from a bump start.... it was strange.... almost like the immobiliser only took the starter motor out. if you have a friend with the software / cable - ask him to see if he can check the keys and immobiliser status. on closer inspection of your...

Hi. Firstly...... The filter - It is connected correctly - this is the vaccum filter and SHOULD be left open at one end.. The wires.... I would look to see if the cut off wires (not the ones connected at the fuel rail) go to the harness junction which is covered with a plastic shield slightly...

£480 that's cheap for a job that is booked at 8hrs.

79k.... low mileage really.... try to keep regular oil changes of the GBOX / IRD and Rear diff..

I can imagine... others on here will probably give you different advice - of which I have accepted and used in many cases... I give my opinions and advice on real-life experiences.. one thing I would suggest... get the gear oil changed prior to doing anything else (and that includes worrying)...

I may have jumped the gun.....depending on the gearbox you have fitted. If you have a GETRAG gearbox (the slave cylinder is inside the bellhousing and not visible with the exception of two pipes from the top of the box) then my statement remains. If you can see the clutch arm on the box, this...

Speaking from experience..... I'm guessing you have a clutch pedal that feels that it is FULL.. by that, I mean the pedal returns right up to the top and feels normal? When I say "speaking from experience" - I had exactly the same issue. A new clutch worked for a short period of time - prior to...

@hd3 Cheers Buddy - Just Signed up... hopefully when my account is activated, I can post a question or two,

bump ???

To be honest, i've bought a few sensors... a cheap eBay one for 20-25 quid... but it failed within 1 week. replaced it with another cheap one,, which lasted a month. so... I got that swapped under guarantee, but still bought a Bosch unit.. i now ONLY used the cheap MAF for diagnosis - the bosch...

This will sound stupid.... but disconnect the MAF sensor... mine did exactly the same until i disconnected the MAF. I then replaced it.

got the lump out.... had to cut the front cross member, and had to cut a drive shaft.... I took loads of pipes in one peice and kept the wiring looms - although similar connections, the wires are longer... Anyway.... I never realised the turbo was so much smaller than the freelander.... I'm...

One of the wires is for the battery warning light - if this isn't connected, the alternator won't charge the battery - and won't power the lights in the dark. the other wire - unsure, but I'm certain this will be the pickup for the rev. counter - via the ECM (or it used to be in days of old) on...

fuel pressure sensor - new they cost from £75.00 to £125 - if memory serves correctly.

Great Post.... what a lovely pair of..... Diffs.

lol - i saw that a couple of weeks ago... thanks for the idea, but no thanks! - :-D

cheers. I have disconnected all pipework today, all wiring looms, PAS, AUTO and AUTO Cooler. Just need to get the Auto Selector disconnected, unfasten it underneath then rip the front off. the mini digger will do the pulling! Thanks Guys.

The car I'm working on will have a Rover 75CDTI engine.. I drove it to my house before pulling out the engine, but I would like to run it on the Rover Injectors and fuel pump, MAF Crank Sensor etc. etc. I can fit the Freebie injectors, (i have two good sets of them) but I know ho w good the...
