    Freelander 1 Fuel Burning Heater - still on with temperature normal SOLVED

    The Honda device arrived. Stat accessible by unscrewing the unit. Small hole already in stat. It fits, just, between the T pieces on an Auto. Works fine and gauge and FBH now happy and presumably will work when needed now. Only minor problem might be removing engine oil filter cap. It looks...

    Hi J. Was going to look at prop bearings next. VCU test was OK at last service in Spring. The thump is clearly a gear change but feels like it could be mid car for the noise. Thanks for the tip. Will drop prop off and see what happens. Also going to check out the engine mount at bottom of...

    Thanks. What gears were hard or was it all?? Have done 2 fluid changes with no change. It did have a cracked reverse piston which I replaced. Maybe burnt dust as it slipped for a while with the cracked piston.

    Auto specialist advice

    So after extensive trials to identify exactly when the 'hard change' occurred, I conclude the following: Only when changing up. Only on 2 to 3 or 3 to 4 gear changes. Worse when cold. Not always present, sort of about 1 in 10 changes. Worse when not under power - so level ground and little power...

    2004 TD4 Gearbox oil change Filler Plug

    TD4 has a cast iron crank and they can fracture, particularly if an impact gun is used !! Or, in my case, you pull a trailer with 2 large ponies in !! Possibly :)

    Freelander 1 Grey Smoke

    This one is giving you the run around isn't it?!?! If it ran for a few seconds then we don't know if the pump will or won't cure the smoke issue. Is there any rail pressure when cranking?? You get these teasers once in a while. What I hate is when you solve it and only then, the answer is...

    Freelander 1 Cold starting issues - What I've done so far

    What are you going to do to the timing? It cannot be altered unless you have had the timing chain off !!??

    Auto specialist advice

    Having downloaded the Jatco manuals and updates, has anyone got a diagram or list that shows which components operate in which gears ?? I have a TD4 auto here (wife's) that sometimes bangs into 3rd and sometimes doesn't. Most noticeable with gear change when not under much power. Not inclined...

    Freelander 1 Skid Plate Bolt Sizes + Engine Compression

    Sounds like a sticky ring as you suggest. Assume oil is on inside of plug. Oil can get onto outside with a gasket leak and then run down when unscrewed so check ! There is a product called Redex which cleans and debungs rings. Don't see any reason why you couldn't run a dose through. Anyone...
