Well, not so much today(yesterday??) but so far this week, I have dissembled the rear brakes, reassembled 'said' brakes and adjusted as per 'Bill Haynes'.......Still out of adjustment so will have another go. Had a good 'looksee' underneath, requires rear shock absorbers for MOT. Been to local...

Cheers everyone.. You favourite idiot!

Hey Troops Completely off Freelander topics but is there an issue/problem with Landyzone's search engine? Keeps coming up with an error message and 'Try Later'. Been like this for some time. I'm using an iPad ATM. Obviously have some 'P's and Q's...' regards TD4's and hate asking questions...

Hello 'All' Changed the fuel pressure sensor wiring loom today. All seems well, car pulls better from lower revs and away from junctions..(albeit a short(ish) test drive) Did another leakback test and will be changing one injector this week...(thats all I can afford) but it is the 'worst' one...

Shaun, know you will be busy but any photos would be great. It's a job I have to do as well. The 'rails' mentioned by ted are 89-00 quid plus VAT (I think) on here.. https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/body-chassis-sunroof-parts-c-3792_25_2611_2612.html You may get them cheaper elsewhere...

Ha, thought so..Liqui Moly is German...not like them to lie about anything.....except emissions, 'Monkey gate', the ECB (whoops, getting a bit political) and well, take your pick on any other number of obscure and debatable facts of figures. I'm back home soon and have a small list of jobs to do...

Cheers 'hd3'...Lifesaver..

Hello Troops All good I hope? Have been trying to locate a post(or two) that refer to the 'upgraded' replacement loom for the TD4 fuel pressure sensor (to/from the ECU) regards what has to be done to replace the existing one. Think I remember seeing one with a few photos but cannot for the...

Usually something that is advertised to be a 'cure all' for a problem but in reality is of no genuine benefit.......it goes back to the days of Cowboys and 'Injuns' when the old bloke in the top hat usually turns up in a town with a 'Elixir' that is probably a mixture of whiskey and anything...

Spry Crisp and Dry....??

Hello Jim, Firstly have you serviced the PCV/changed the filter etc or do you have a BMW 'vortex' style upgrade. Where it goes exactly would be down to Nodge or someone who has 'fiddled' with the TD4 more regularly...the 'filtered' oil recovered would go back to the engine but any that gets...

Hello Jim, Not been on here for a while so just seen this post. As your car stops smoking when 'warm/hot' it maybe that the injectors are not seated correctly, especially if someone has been in there before yourself. Think you mentioned doing all the necessary's regards new washers and o rings...

Just watched the video again and it actually means complete sense and I must have been 'Monging' it (no offence to any 'Mongs' out there BTW). The 'poster' mentioned the filter system and it's 'failings' if NOT SERVICED REGULARLY. Just got thrown by what he stated at the start of the video...

Cheers Nodge, It does all make sense.. When I serviced my PCV to 'upgrade' it to the BMW vortex system I found it had already been done. Swapped it out anyway as the PCV assembly bolts had been 'ragged'. I am sceptical of the effectiveness in the long term of the vortex system and will...

Cheers, the more knowledge the better...Ta!!

Yep, Done all that and I have just watched the video again and it does say that a 'filter system' is used on 'some diesels' and that the filters need to be changed on a 'regular basis' just threw me a bit as I was expecting a 'I know all this' feeling then heard the 'contradiction' of what I...

This is a 'bone' question... Do TD4's have a 'real' PCV system or just a crankcase 'filter' and where does the 'system' join the inlet before or after the turbo... Just watched a video on 'The Tube of You' and it stated that turbo'd diesels don't have PCV...

Hadn't even thought of that, got to be worth a try...B-)

Ooooouuuffff, Nightmare....It was nearly as cold when I 'did' mine...I just kept at it until it 'went'....eventually.... B-S

You may find that it does take a long time for it to start after being disassembled. If your battery isn't at it's best that may exacerbate the problem. When I removed and replaced mine it took multiple attempts to get it running. It may be best to 'cycle' the key several times before...
