    Freelander 1 Exhaust Box

    Actually... Has anyone tried this? Looks cool and simple. Less weight and heard many people recommending cutting out the box completely. Will it affect MOT?

    Freelander 1 Exhaust Box

    Was thinking to paint on it and therefore slow down rusting process, at least from the outside. I have some arc rite paints that apparently withstand high temps.

    Freelander 1 Exhaust Box

    Hey, I'm trying to replace my exhaust box for my TD4. Do you know if I could get one that fits a Freelander 1.8 petrol? They actually have a different price tag for some reason, but they look the same...

    Freelander 1 When to change gears

    When do you guys change gears when driving a TD4 manual? At the moment I'm changing around 3-3.5k revs, but it sounds as if I am forcing the engine and it might not be the best for its overall longevity. I'm interested in prolonging cars' life as much as possible. So I'd like to make an...

    High. Pressure sensor and Fuel Rail pressure plausibility P1190

    Yes...it was the high pressure fuel pump :( Bought one remanufactured £180 Bosh approved. And 3 hour labour. They checked the tank filter at the return pipe and it was full of brass... That's an indication of pump failure.

    Freelander 1 TD4 Pressure regulator valve repair

    DMM means diagnostic tool? This is how mine looks like. Worth replacing? Also... does this valve have a diaphragm??? I heard it can leak from it in TD5s

    Does Anyone know how to test the regulator electrically?

    It actually is nearly impossible to fit without damage... The filter is in the way. Maybe take filter out?

    Freelander 1 TD4 Pressure regulator valve repair

    Hi guys, I have to 2 questions. I couldn't find a thread that explains how to repair the pressure regulator valve for TD4, using the repair kit. So I managed to take the regulator out. I have the repair kit 2-O rings. green and white I cant seem to be able to take the white O ring out of...

    Freelander 1 Starting issues and sporadic power issues

    I think replacing LP pump twice means that’s not the problem. To me it seems like a fuel pressure regulator issue. Unfortunately it is hard to reach and need to take starter motor out first. Usually the rubber o rings drop pressure. But to check easier things first, try running car without LP...

    Freelander 1 Fuel Pressure Regulator Replacement

    Thanks Arctic! Great pics. I had troubles removing the starter motor. I unscrewed the 2 long screws, but the motor is connected by a yellow cable, which is hard to access. I don’t know how the cable is supposed to come out and I’m afraid if I pull it I break it. I cannot imagine reconnecting it...

    Freelander 1 Fuel Pressure Regulator Replacement

    Hi! Freelander TD4 2004 manual. Today I was trying to take out the fuel pressure regulator, but I failed.:( Basically the space is too narrow and I cannot even test what torx size I need. I took manifold out and I’ve heard some people took electromotor out. I unscrewed the electromotor but...

    Freelander 1 Low pressure value after priming

    Hi I am trying to investigate a pressure issue. 2004 TD4 manual Could anybody with a diagnostic confirm with car in ignition mode what happens to LP pressure after the pump stops priming (1 minute)? My pressure drops from 360Kpa to 99Kpa. Also LP drops to 99Kpa when engine dies due to a HP...

    High. Pressure sensor and Fuel Rail pressure plausibility P1190

    Thanks! Mine has already been changed and car worked fine for 2 years with it. So I’m sure wiring is correct. Also I would get a sensor fault if cable was an issue, but I don’t. Do you remember your fault codes?

    High. Pressure sensor and Fuel Rail pressure plausibility P1190

    Assuming the filter is ok (replaced 3 weeks ago). What else can go wrong on the LP side except the pump? Maybe sender unit? Do you know how I can check the sender unit on these models? I know it's located under the back seats.

    High. Pressure sensor and Fuel Rail pressure plausibility P1190

    Oh and another unexplained problem... if LP rail is the cause, and pressure does indeed drop under 250kpa, then why engine doesn't limp or dies with high pressure sensor disconnected...

    Well, that makes sense to me too... but the P1190 is so confusing.

    High. Pressure sensor and Fuel Rail pressure plausibility P1190

    Here it is 30 seconds. It makes sense! So now, looking back... I see the LP pump pressure drops to 100 just before engine stops. I don't know if that's a result of engine being cut off, or if LP causes all this chaos... As I said, LP seems a bit rusty and sounds funny. Dashboard lights...
