Just checked now. Spark at each plug. Fuel to injector rail, no fuel from injectors. I've got the fuel line that goes Into the rail currently in a bottle, If I leave the key in position 2, disconnect the battery and reconnect it, you hear the stepper motor, simultaneously fuel flow is constant...

Thing is, when it got delivered, it ran once jump starter. Idled fine after 20 minutes so I cantxsee timing being out if I drove it a little with no issues

Got my cap, arm, plugs and leads today. Fitted them already, still no difference. Fuel is running pretty low so I'll stick a tenners worth it in as I've changed the fuel pump so the lines to the injectors will be dry. See if that helps, could also be a weak spark from the denso unit

Recent head gasket change I doubt. It did a run round the block fine when I got it. The cam seals (dizzy side) are only half in where they should be causing a leak, the coolant is water, the oil is dirty and there is nothing attached to the throttle body at all to filter air. it wouldn't...

Yep. My best guess is the dizzy cap now. Of all the things not to check, the contacts for the arm in the cap are worn down to the plastic. Didn't even think to check inside it when I swapped it over. Hasn't been a wasted exercise. In doing this I've found out my camshaft seals aren't seated...

Nodge, Nodge, Nodge..... Decided to connect an old worn spark plug direct to the king lead from the denso unit and leave it exposed. That way I could test for a spark. The results.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv6P6w9PHkw

I've swapped the rotor arm out for a known working one from the other freelander with the cap it was used with. It's nearly new so should work. Doesn't even try to fire once after the initial turn of the key. So if the CPS was faulty it would cut fuel to the plugs. Didn't know that. Can a...

Cheers, will have to pull the ones off the other one to see if that makes a difference. He'll have a T series engine. That's where my soft spot lies. Rover 220 coupe turbos. Currently fixing up a track project along side trying to get this on the road. Not fun with 2 projects on the go. This...

No, if i hold the accelerator pedal to the floor on the first start up of a day, once the key is turned to crank the engine, it fires up to 2k or so and immediately cuts out and carries on trying to crank until the battery is dead. The only time i have made it start was the day after i got it...

I bought the freelander a month back off ebya. It had an electrical fault with all the windows and doors clicking like mad leading to the rear door popping open. Because of this known fault i got the hippo delivered and wasnt told of any starting issues. It had to be jump started off the...

Cheers, Crankshaft sensor was my next thinking. I've been cheap (which I know I shouldn't) and have a parts mule next to this freelander so the plugs, leads and dizzy came off that which started on the button so I doubt it's those. Might check the spark when it goes dark.

As per the title, my freelanders a none starter. -Fuel pump is good, primes as it should. -Fuel line good, checked by puling out the inlet fuel rail and turned over. -Spark plugs wet when removed. -Starter is good and engine tries turning but not firing. -If left for a day and started, it'll...

Take it that it's not a common issue then... 3 days off soon so hopefully I'll manage to sort it

Recently bought a 3dr hippo which had been diagnosed with an ecu/immobilizer fault which caused all the doors to start clicking and the rear door to open of its own accord. So, I put the ecu & 27vt onto another Freelander and everything worked perfectly. I've cleaned up all the earth points...

Thanks, appreciated. Will check them out.

I have a car I need moving from Slough to Clitheroe, Lancashire mid April. Anyone doing a journey like that with the facilities to tow/ trailer the car? Thanks

Just had this response off the seller, any clues? the rear door actuates on its own, .. which sends the other doors into a clicking frenzy but they don't open on their own... its not the doors, its the immobilser and the ecu as I said in the listing... its playing up, doors are fine when its...

I actually pick the faulty Freelander up on Tuesday. The issues I mention are how the seller listed the faults, just waiting on further details about the rear door. I'll change the Fob battery first and clean the battery earth points to ensure good connections. Then if that does nothing I'll...

I've got 2 1.8 hippos, 1 has an electrical fault where the rear door takes it upon itself to actuate and then when the vehicle is stopped, the car will not turn over again and all the doors start clicking and then wont lock, and it refuses to start unless the battery is disconnected then...
