HI. so it happened today... I kicked the pump, but still no joy.. .the temp gauge shot up and down a couple of times per second... the 3 amigos lit up, I kept turning off the ignition switch (brand new) and when i got fed up, I left the ignition on.. the temp gauge stabilised at the bottom.. the...

CCU isn't connected to |Immobiliser though - I've started the later models without the CCU even connected.. BUT.. i did take the CCU out - checked the connections and contact cleanered the plugs on the end of the harness. Also replace CCU for good measure - reprogrammed the fobs - starts either...

Hi All. I have a 2007 (07 Plate) Freelander 1 - M47R Engine - Yes Definitely a Freelander 1 Facelift 3 Door Adventurer. When I get in the car - key in ignition, turn the key, sometimes the temp gauge will shoot to the top with the red warning light.. 3 Amigos - sometimes 2. Turn the key and it...

if you have a little play in your links, this will make a knocking noise. sometimes the knocking noise sounds like it is under the seat of the car. - late pre-facelift and facelift cars have the same links - replace as a pair and do not buy cheap ones as they will need replacing in a short space...

@oxygen - since this thread was born, and since my last posting... i have become somewhat - very accustomed and familiar with the Freelander 1s - almost to the point of becoming a specialist - but to say that opens a can of worms and prompts a question I don't know the answer to... anyway... it...

Hmmm DieselDo..... do I assume we have met kind sir of the bearded kind?

for Info... The engine bay was smeared in oil.. turbo has gone, but the crank case breather wasnt modded and blocked solid - so no power.. was hopping for good compression, before I stripped the injectors out, took the top off and inspected the cam / chain etc. then fitted another low mileage...

Ok... I must have been drinking of something.... re-did the Compressions - shame I couldn't type them up properly in the first instance... 271 (well just under - maybe 270.5 or .6) On 1,2 and 3 - 4 is at 269 almost touching 270. So if this is right... I've got excellent compression on this...

OH :-( that means I need to do a wet test too.. but I will double check my readings tomorrow to be sure. Thanks Nodge68

Guys... Does anyone know what the healthy compression test reading should be on the M47R engine. I'm pushing 171 - 171 - 171 - 170 @ no.4 Searching the internet doesn't bring up any decent PSI or BAR reading any where! Cheers

DO you guya want ro drop me an email with the bits you want please.. look at my username and add hotmail,co,uk to the end..

is 3D printing going to be man enough for the job @disco_mikey ? I now have a spare box, so going to have a play when the weather allows! Actually - Just broken a full 5dr Td4 (anyone want any doors and a bonnet in good nick?? - lol )

Apparently... it's a hardened steel pin. you should be able to knock it out somehow and replace it with something like the end off a HSS drill bit. so... round!!

Finally sorted the problem.. the microswitch had fallen out of the latching mechanism, which didnt let the window know the door was open.

Not repaired yet.- I bought another freebie, hoping I could try the door locking mechanism on my existing one... but the handle is bust on this too. and can't open the door at all. The disadvantage with this one.. is the commercial has different plastics in the boot and they are a pain to...

I've heard of people knocking the mishapen pin out and actually using the smooth part of drill bit, and welding it in place - and grinding it smooth.

Light comes on when the boot is open and goes off when the boot is closed. Alarm will sound when the door is left open and the button is press on the fob. Definitely going to be getting a tried and tested mechanism.

OK.. I know I've asked this as some point... but.. I press the rear handle and the window drops, and I can open the door. the light comes on as is should etc. etc. while the door is open, I let go of the handle (button) and the window goes back up. If I press the alarm fob, with the door open...

Like this?? - but I haven't got the SV badge under the bonnet

maybe it's acase of fitting the Rover 75 CDTI Auto injectors and taking it for the emissions testing.
