    TD4 Freelander 1, really struggling to start.

    A quick follow up to let you know its fixed...yay! I tried to get INPA to run with no success and borrowed another coder reader from a mate who has a Jag thinking it may read the fuel pressures, but it read everything else other than the fuel pressures. Although I had done a leak off test and...

    Thanks, I will do. I clamped the return side in the engine bay to eliminate that run and made no difference. Air getting in can be a real problem and have had many tussles with older Mercedes vans and cars, but not convinced thats the issue with mine. I did substitute the fuel pressure...

    So, I am newly signed up on here, but have been a lurker for a few years and have had some great info, so many thanks for that! A few months back I bought a 04 TD4 with a known fault. The seller said it was a poor starter and had been for years. When runs it sounds and pulls fine, but it...
