    fm transmitter HELP!

    The high pitched noise is a something to go with the current from the cigarette being played over the radio frequency due to it all being earthed at the same point. there is no background noise if you dont have it pluged in the 12v socket. i have bought a cb/stereo noise filter wait and see how...

    TD4 EGR Idea

    My dads friend is the owner of dakar in dartford a land rover specialist and original creator of the dakar kit car. he offers a remap from autologic but i think the synergy is better as you can take it with you and if you bought second hand can sell for what you paid for it. to be honest i want...

    TD4 EGR Idea

    My understanding is that the ECU opens the EGR valve more or less depending on the MAF reading and some how it works out how much fuel to inject depending on the combined pressure of the exhaust and inlet. I dont think the ecu has any way of knowing that the egr is open or not it just applies a...

    TD4 EGR Idea

    What happens if you unplug the power supply to the egr solenoid. Would it stay closed or upset the ecu/throw up a fault code. Just because when you block the vac pipe the ecu still tries to open the EGR and expects to get a different MAP reading combined with the MAF reading. Dont really know...

    Freelander TD4 glow plugs not operating

    For anyone else who has the earlier model td4 its fuse 6 in the passenger compartment that feeds from the ignition to the ecu. but this is obviously ok on mine. i have also changed the ignition switch for another i had laying around but this didn't help could be broke as well i suppose.

    Freelander TD4 glow plugs not operating

    Ok so tested the glow plugs from the e box by putting a multi meter between the feed into the glow plug relay and the bg, bp, by and br wires going to the plugs. When you turn ignition to position 2 there is a current for about 12 seconds till the relay turns off despite the dash light going off...

    Freelander TD4 glow plugs not operating

    starts on the button but there is loads of smoke. from what the rave manual says thanks to your thumbnails. The ecu can tell if there is a broken wire and the lamp wont illuminate during start up. being a bit thick im not sure if that means the lamp wont illuminate at all ie. when the ignition...

    Freelander TD4 glow plugs not operating

    Thanks for the input hd3. fuse 22 that it talks about on mine its for the rear fog light and isn't blown. Fuseable link 6 looks ok. I have checked every fuse in the engine compartment and every one in the passenger they all look fine. From what you are describing about yours mine defiantly...

    Freelander TD4 glow plugs not operating

    Seem to have an issue with the glow plugs not thinking its cold enough. Thought the glow plugs were faulty so changed them as well as the ECT sensor. but this did not solve my problem. I have also changed the glow plug relay in the e box. The light on the dash is working as it comes on with...

    Daft question about brake light

    the wires has been joined from the off side light to the high level brake light. I can only assume this was done to give more light for hitching up in the dark. freelander has got caravan electrics fitted. that is my guess anyway. will probably disconnect it.

    Why is my Freelander td4 so damn slow!!!!!

    Put a tripple dose of millers in and towed a 1450kg caravan 320 miles doing between 50 and 60 mph and averaged about 28 mpg felt a lot better on the way back dont know the mpg but think roughly 33 mpg doing between 70 and 80 (without caravan). Think the engine is coked up a bit. did replace two...

    Daft question about brake light

    Haven't looked inside it yet, thought it was weird. time to get the tester out i think. although i dont know what i'm doing with it. oh joy another 1 hour and half poking the thing with a screwdriver and scratching my head.

    Daft question about brake light

    Replaced a bulb in the light cluster on the rear bumper for the sidelight as it had blown. Since then i have noticed that the brake light by the spare wheel illuminates when the side/dipped/main lights are on. it still works as a brake light when the lights are off but i dont think it gets...

    Why is my Freelander td4 so damn slow!!!!!

    Can someone tell me the part number for the fuel filter thats in the rear wheel arch. I changed the one under the bonnet (think mine has two) and is it a difficult job. seems like it might be. The MPG is more like 30 mpg and that is mainly dual carriage way with a bit of country lanes driving at...
