You can clean it up with contact cleaner and a toothbrush - if it starts then you found the problem! Otherwise you need a diagnostic machine to look at the data coming out of it. I think it is the o ring in the fuel pressure regulator - when the engine is cranking the high pressure fuel is...

Did you have any problems starting before the engine went to non-start mode? If it is the regulator O ring then usually you get poor hot starting before it fails completely.

If the engine is getting more fuel than it can burn then the most likely problem is that there is less air going into the cylinders than the engine management system thinks there is. The most common cause is a leak in the high pressure air system - intercooler hoses or inlet manifold (but you...

Les propriétaires de Land Rover sont des gens serviables - ils savent tous qu'ils auront besoin d'aide eux-mêmes demain. Je suis heureux que vous ayez réparé votre embrayage - vous aurez besoin de votre voiture, j'entends dire qu'il pleut parfois en France. :)

Il est nécessaire de retirer l'IRD pour séparer la boîte de vitesses du moteur. Il y a un boulon qui entre dans le BV par le moteur et que vous ne pouvez pas voir avec l'IRD en place. Il est plus facile de supprimer l'IRD si vous supprimez d'abord le sous-cadre. Il est plus simple de sortir le...

The cover with the oil filler cap is the air filter cover - long 5mm allen key needed to remove it since there are two screws at the back that are a pain to get to. The cover in front of that comes off with an 8mm socket I think - four bolts from memory, the crank case breather is under that...

Today I cleaned out the TD4 EGR and inlet manifold from my spares car ready to fit to Hubert. Possibly the dirtiest job I have ever done on any car. My manicure will never be the same again.

This one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-PIN-DIESEL-INJECTOR-CONNECTOR-LAND-ROVER-VAUXHALL-FIAT-ALFA-HDI-1928403874/183178972389?hash=item2aa6514ce5:g:09MAAOSwK~da0lQE:rk:10:pf:0

You are not the only one having this problem today - duplicate posts popping up all over the place. Not the only one with postage issues either, I was quoted £2.99 for a set of four injector washers plus £15.99 postage because I live in the Scottish Highlands! I got a bit grumpy about that and...

I am also having trouble with posting and I can't get the search to work. How am I going to clean out my injectors without you guys holding my hand?

I used one of these to replace a connector that was getting condensation inside: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Way-Bosch-Common-Rail-Diesel-Injector-Plug-Connector-Kit-1928403966/121931455585?epid=1992173520&hash=item1c63ae5c61:g:PS4AAOSw2ENW78ai:rk:1:pf:0 The pins and the seals work perfectly, I...

In that case, have you tried rocking it back and forwards?

Is the car parked on a slope? If so then the weight of the car will be loading the gearbox and it will be a lot harder to get it out of gear. It can usually still be done with brute force but the better way is to take the load off the gearbox by pushing the car back up the slope. Depending on...

Option 3 - they are old and can't hear the bits falling off.

1) There is no magic tool or potion that will work every time to release a seized bolt - a well balanced hammer (with the room to swing it), a set of long punches, a fine flame propane torch and a can of Plus Gas will get you a long way once the nut has been cut off. I have never had a lot of...

Never give up! It just encourages them! What did you change to get the fuel to the rail and do you have fuel pressure readings from the diagnostics?

We had a bit of snow last winter but never more than about 6 inches. I only got into trouble once, on my own drive. As it melted, I had a couple of inches of nicely polished ice on the drive and with water running down it you could not even stand on it without drifting downhill. Had to go off...

Have I got this right? Engine starts on Easy Start but won't start / run normally so it is not injecting fuel. This means that either you don't have a high pressure fuel supply or the ECM is not triggering the injectors If the rail pressure sensor or its wiring was damaged then the ECM would...

Easy question to answer - NO. There is no throttle body. Your video keeps coming back to the left side of the engine (when you are looking from the front of the car) down beside the ancillary belt, is that where the noise that you are worried about seems to be coming from? If it is then my best...

You should probably head across to the Freelander forum - a strange world full of wise and helpful souls who know this sort of stuff. Click Forums in the top left and follow the list down until you find it. Alternatively try the search box - someone will have asked this before.
