Checked the fuses and pump and all seem fine but seen something curious: in the engine compartment fusebox there is no fuse in the number three slot ( engine management). Is this normal? Apart from my dodgy starting problem the car seems to have always run fine without it, but it just is...

Thanks for that, will check the fuel pump stuff today.

I'll give that a go, although I haven't got any white smoke issues. Injector problems methinks, but not really sure...

Sorry if I'm repeating posts but I couldn't find info when searching my specific problem. Which is: with my 2005 td4, just rcently the damn thing sometimes starts first time as usual and sometimes it just turns over, half fires up and then dies on me. If I give it gas it will then start up...

I dismantled it as far as I think I could without breaking anything... it seemed ok. where does one download a rave copy? That may be a good idea to reverse the wiring...

just updating... checked the switch, seems ok... couldn't see how to put the passenger side one into my dead driver's side, as its a different piece.:confused: The drivers side has all 5 switches clicked on to one circuit board while the passenger side is only one? So.... I took out the...

thanks for the answers, I'll cross my fingers and start on the switch...

2006 TD4. Searched the forums and found a lot of useful advice on changing cables, etc.... but just before i wade in and take off the door panel to look, I just wanted to check something out. When I say the window is dead I mean it's fully down and makes no noise at all when I try to power it...

Best of Bodman.... thanking you for video. Plise private message me.... thinking we have much in comon. I play gitarr, I let yu sing...

I don't understand Beast, I'm from Spain, what is "cock". How does that help the dipstick? Please help me.

cheery sort of bloke, aren't you?

thanks all..... just me being paranoid. After all, I haven't had to take it to the garage for over six months now,... the waiting is killing me ...:rolleyes:

Sorry, it's a manual. I mean that when I put it in first and release the clutch the car moves along with no need to give it gas. I would have thought that normally it would stall if I released the clutch without a little gas...

Tis the the season of paranoia.... I've noticed that my 05 TD4 freelander creeps along in first gear with no help from the gas. Is this normal? Maybe it's always done it but I seem to remember hearing sometime that it's not a good sign of something..... Am I just being paranoid?

Hi td4, as said on this thread the td4 are the best of the crop and any probs are usually well documented here. I've got a 2005 td4 and the main problems have been niggling ones, faulty seatbelt, broken clutch pedal part, water spitting from air con, etc. That being said, they shouldn't happen...

Have you actually ever driven in these 6 months?

oh! I thought it was the freelander sex thread. it sounded promising. sorry.:p

I'd do a search on "power loss", and see if what comes up matches your symptoms. There's a lot of stuff about it, related to turbo problems to dodgy maf sensors, etc

Thanks MHM. As a newbie,;) don't know if I'm on Pm-ing terms with venerable members, but I will take up the turbo advice idea. I'll try and get them to give a good check over at the same time, especially as I'm occasionally bothered by almost unperceptible power losses on acceleration. (after...

Thanks guys although I'm pretty much aware of what should be done as regards lr service schedule, just wondered if any accumulated know-how here might have any tips on anything extra that might be worth checking/looking at, in order to avoid future probs.... :)
