Well done that man. You can proudly say you did it and won. 💪

Hi, i'm new here from the Netherlands and would like you help you all with a cheap simple solution for my 2017 L405 SDV8 4.4. Autobiography with 105k miles: I made a bypass solution in a very simple way. A piece of EPDM hose 15/25 (15mm...

Actually the "157,213 to 1" was simply based on the fact that no one on this forum seems to know the answer, and that is the number of forum members !! There was absolutely nothing in that post either negative or positive towards anyone, not...

You did put the o-rings onto the pipes didn't you before fitting? 🤔

I pulled the pipes + clamp out to take the pic, that's why it's not sitting right. Do the flanges on the pipes sit on top of the inlet surface? Or do they go further in? Someone has been and butchered the threads in it too. Made 10x harder by...

Any smells, diesel or humidity?

Oooh, no response. Have you tried Ashcroft or rimmer bros? 😊

Also check the fuel hoses on the high pressure pump, plus the pump itself for any signs of leaks. They are hard to see under the inlet manifold, so use a mirror & torch.

Just do it!!! You guys are so hilarious. Let's try some reading comprehension: if you had read my posts, you would know that my trip is not for several months, and this was an idea, not some desperate panicked need for something to be fixed...

I almost forgot to tell you, on another forum where I asked the same question, somebody responded that a friend of his did something very similar to what I have thought to do. He said that it worked fine and the only issue was the slight...

Then do it & report the result.

Yes the filters do get clogged up. A tired pump usually impacts drivability as well as starting. But you said you replaced it, so it should be ok. When parked uphill, turn the ignition on without starting until the glow plug light goes out...

Your very welcome,. Hmmm, do you mean the actual fuel filter or a additional one?

Full tank and not much of a slope at all . I did have a leaking fuel pipe from the inline filter that runs near the battery box but I simply replaced the pipe but I had this problem before that . Could the plastic inline fuel filter give any...

Is that actually a self portrait?

Don't worry kiddo, them from above will do it for you😊

I have asked the Mods for you.

We know that mate. 🤗

I think (bar a few well known exceptions) everyone's advice on here is extremely valuable and well received

It can be done by the moderators. 👍

Mods please move this to the Freelander section, thanks.

How steep is the hill your parked on? Half tank, quater tank or full tank of fuel? Any diesel smells from under the bonnet? 🤔

2003 Freelander 1 TD 4 . After an engine change a year ago my car is sometimes difficult to start when it's been parked pointing up hill . I really don't know if the up hill parking is part of the problem but if parked flat or pointing down hill...

You may get a better response in the Freelander section.

Too much trouble to answer a question but plenty of time for vitriol, not related to Trump are you?

From the photo, the screw doesn't look long enough? With the screw entered into the thread , the pipes can be wriggled in to place. A smear of silicone grease holds the O rings in place.

OMG I could find a 15-year-old that understands that if Google says something then you can just follow links to more in-depth articles to get the full information. The image that I showed you first told you that the 2.76 diff came from the 4.4...
