If the engine ran away then it must have done it on its oil.............. Never heard of coolant self detonating ! If it ran for 5 mins flat out then the chances are that the engine is Kaputt Sorry not to be more positive First thing to check is what is really in the sump - oil or...

Stick a tube in the affected tyre

If you still need help with French instructions I can help I will check for messages on a regular basis Digby

even if the timing chain has broken the engine will turn over on the starter. The pistons will have cleared the way during the few seconds it took for the engine to stop turning following the break It may not sound quite right when cranking however. If its the chain then its time to...

the coolant temp is certainly due to a failed (or failing) thermostat replacement is a bit fiddly but not difficult - the issue is space down the side of the engine Just be grateful that the Td4 has a timing chain and not a belt :)

Mines french and isnt like that !!!

did mine a couple of years ago really is a 2 man job to drop the box and re-fit it unless you have a hoist

Hi Winu read a lot of your threads - a real Freelander guy :):) what are you going to use to reach 150 HP ? the engine is good for this power as that's what it gives in a BMW thanks and good luck

i would protect electrical connections even if its a diesel washed our 320d and it ran like **** until the engine warmed up and dried out the electrics..............

are we talking PSI of boost pressure here or some other units ???

if / when i find time i might just do that :)

Just put my 2003 Td4 through the french MOT passed ok the guy just mentioned a bit or surface rust underneath where the chassis has been grounded Good for 2 more years :):)

Could be the electronic throttle valve - this should shut when the ignition is turned off If it's not working right it could also upset the normal engine running hence the mil light....

If the boost pressure is good then you may be forced to look in the injector direction again .....:(

splitting manifolds is not so unusual - check out some BMW forums A new one is expensive though i believe !!! Maybe the scrappy is the best place to go for a replacement

It should be the turbo vacuum vent normally it clips to something behind the air filter box

did you install the fuel pressure sensor ??? maybe you should check the boost pressure - if you are short of air this will show it up - any simple OBD ready should let you monitor boost pressure. you will have to do it on the road though - full right foot in 2nd or 3rd should give max boost...

How does it run with the MAF disconnected (and no synergy) ??

Just out of interest - how do you clamp or fix the liners in place ??

sorry to hear of your woes can i suggest that you actually completely disconnect the synergy box and see how it runs. that way you can maybe see if there is a fundamental problem with the car. It may also let you find any bad connections in the synergy connections that could be contributing to...
