Fantastic thanks very much 👍

Thanks G, I tried removing the most likely offending injector but noticed the torx bolt is sheered, so up a creek without a socket! Any ideas how to remove without having to bring in the professionals? Cheers 👍

Are they brass t-joints you have Artic?

Magic thanks Artic, I’ll check thread as suggested may have to go up a thread size and nip it. I’ll observe with kitchen paper wrapped around the t joints to see if one is leaking. Onwards and upwards! Cheers gents, A

Thanks Andy - yeah looks there very same as the original and similar up the fuel rail harness you took off on that photo - it’s listed as Torx screw in Haynes. Any chance anyone could please check socket size for cam sensor torx one on their freelander? Can’t find anything online atm.

Hey Landy Lovers, Just doing a service to try get to bottom of a hard start issue. So far… did a leak back test on injectors and no major sign of leak. Next to dig deeper and change out gaskets and clean EGR valve. Next up to change high pressure fuel regulator seal. I just changed the CAM...

Hey folks, Still none the wiser on issue with slow starting. takes 3 to 4 attempts to start and cuts out each time as if fuel just won’t ignite. Attached code read tonight. http://p1643.enginetroublecode.com/ Suggests could be oxygen sensor or dodgey wiring. Plans to resolve: 1. check...

Here is a link to the recordings (mp3 format): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cRRWEYnJKrskZ7-rryhg3xN7IubTz4E6?usp=sharing Cheers, A

Some recordings this eve, coldStart (at 15 DegC out) and hotStart (shortly after final getting to start after cold start). Any thoughts besides being to breaker yard much appreciated 🤣 Cheers, A

Thanks for the comments folks, I’m in Dublin so is very mild alright, but will try disconnect the glo plugs and see what happens. If still the issue then I’ll do a leak back test on the pistons. I Measured the high pressure fuel line on the obd2 and is registering 290kpa - 310kpa which I...

Many thanks! I’ll have a look on forum RE: changing the glow plugs so, looks straight forward although involves focus fairly deep into the engine 🤓

Thanks artic, all codes cleared and haven’t reappeared. I bought and changed out the fuel pressure sensor but now even harder to start, white smoke on start with smell of diesel. Once it starts no issue at all, runs very smooth. And restarts instantly when hot. When cooled down takes about...

Thanks, yes was low on coolant and topped it recently, is holding level so may be slow leak. Would adding the likes of a sealant (https://uk.noleaky.com/collections/frontpage/products/head-gasket-repair?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl6zK0OrlhQMVeA-iAx3hKQf9EAQYASABEgI-qPD_BwE) coolant cause...

Hey folks, Very recently my Freelander TD4 started to give issues starting: When turn the ignition key it attempts to start / crank but within seconds dies out After a few attempts it always starts but puffs out a large plume of white smoke. The attached codes showed on icar; I’ve...

Hi folks, Just noticed since yesterday gasping trouble starting first time in morning/evening after engine off a few hours. it’s a Freelander TD4 only and only cranks up when I press the accelerator pedal a bit first time starting. After that starts straight away. Seems like not enough...

Hi Folks, Recently had issues with MIL on with loss of power on motorway, resolved after replacing the 2 egr solenoids, all hoses, and pump under rear wheel arch (BMW TD4). Now I’m finding the engine keeps going into what sounds like surges of diesel/power to turbo when just cruising, and...

Thanks folks, great advice and looks liked I’ve sorted it by: replace Egr solenoid with replacement (thanks Artic) replace booster solenoid with new part replace ALL hoses replace mini filter to turbo solenoid atmosphere hose replaced drivers side rear wheel arch pump (with bearmarch cheap...

Thanks Nodge, i tried without MAF connected and no change so will replace pump tomorrow. regarding the small filter that connects with hose to the booster solenoid, does this just rest on the engine block or is there a clip to hold in place? The existing one doesn’t have that filter. Best...

Thanks Artic, good to know. I’ll disconnect the MAF first then look at changing out the diesel pump filter followed by the pump itself (under rear driver side arch). Would you happen to have the part number for the EGR solenoid valve? I’ll reconnect the part I removed and may as well replace...
