Hi Artic, Just reading through the threads and it seems I may have fitted the wrong solenoid… i purchased a new turbo boost solenoid (STC4198) and replaced the solenoid under the manifold which is actually the EGR solenoid! (part 2a in photo attached - for a bmw engine so ignore the references...

thanks Artic, much appreciated. I’ll try disconnecting the MAF and see what happens. The Egr solenoid I have has the little box clipped on its side similar to rimmer brothers, Is there turbo vent filter another option instead of that vent box or is it connected to a different hose? i fired...

Just double checked, the part I replaced is: STC4198 (solenoid valve for Freelander TD4, 04 Reg). Is there another solenoid valve which controls flow to turbo? is there a part number for the little air filter on the STC4198? I just re-used the old one (with pen pointing to it) on the new...

Hey Artic and Gel, It’s not the first photo but the other one (replaced the first one last month). I took a reading with the i900 just getting p1470, other threads show this as loss of boost pressure iirc. Maybe the plastic manifold is cracked, must do a smoke test or something. The other...

You’re right, though I tried with mine and it is pointing toward exhaust system

Hi folks, Freelander TD4 2004 has been struggling on motorway to go over 50 mph, 2000 rev with engine light comes on when going over 2000 revs but resets when slows… Followed the main threads on this forum and changed out with Land Rover original parts: * Turbo solenoid valve (2 hose...

Cheers mate, excellent photos. Yeah it’s actually the brass Collect, it came out of the engine housing, so are you saying a new Collect will actually work if inserted (by hammer?) as it’s walls are rough enough to bite into the housing and wedge tight so to speak? thanks for quick reply by the...

Hi folks, Just after refitting the inlet manifold and one of the bronze studs came loose, won’t tighten to recommended 10 Nm (or any torque!). Removed inlet manifold cover again and noticed the stud stuck to bolt. I cleaned out the nut socket in engine block and nut, applied unibond metal epoxy...

hi folks, Just fitted new uk style official Land Rover tow bar to Freelander, but just noticed the three bolts with nuts and tension washers are not there ! The three bolts are small long bolts that go through the electric socket housing and fits onto the narrow flange housing sticking out to...

Thanks N, found it. Second bolt is out of view from all angles, it’s tucked under the cables just to right of main electric cable going toward elec connections starter - see photo taken looking square on end view of starter housing (from battery side). Just put a 13mm socket onto narrow...

Evening Landy Lovers Started taking out my starter motor yesterday for repair and cannot locate the second bolt securing it in place. I can’t align the image from Rave nor a suppliers image to the actual bolt position. I’ve so far removed the easy to spot bolt on bottom flange, removed nut...

Hi R, How did you get it out in end? I think my starter motor only had one bolt in it as can’t locate the second bolt. Won’t budge at all... Cheers, A

Thanks for great photo guide N, I’ve removed everything except the second bolt - it’s hard to locate. Is the third photo taken from under the car looking up? Does this bolt go into the starter housing unlike the second bolt which has a nut? Rave manual makes it look like two bolts on same...

! FINALLY GOT IT OFF ! Steps: 1. Park Landy around 3 foot from a wall you can lean against; 2. Loosen nuts on drivers side front wheel; 3. Jack up and place stands at jack locations for max height; 4. Remove drivers side front wheel, place under car; 5. Get a mate willing to crawl back...

Thanks Gents, The sockets I am using are Draper expert but there is a little give in them... does a good fit socket require buying a new socket ? A

Yeah comes with 1/2 drive, tried it tonight but just can’t get a decent swing at it with lump hammer. Going to take off drivers side front wheel and try a breaker bar, or a jack, almost out of options!!! Help ! A

Evening Gents, Was doing some final checks on prop before ordering reconditioned VCU tomorrow and noticed the hardy spicer connecting rear prop to VCU has a bit of play in it. Is this a part you would recommend Land Rover original or would OEM do the job? Many thanks, A

Thanks J, Just ordered one, will get that nut off soon A

Thanks J, Have you a recommended brand / link for one? I’ve seen this looks good (450 Nm). Tried tapping bolt today with a 2LB lump hammer no joy, tried oil spray etc, looks like the whole IRD is moving around the Bolt! Ordered replacement bolts, now just to get it off!

Then go for a drive so it heats up, unscrew and replace, clever!
