@andyfreelandy - I'm in read, read, read mode to get to know what to expect with my TD4 acquisition. I think the ECU can see the difference if it is similar to BMW diesels. I had a similar problem with a 2003 5 series diesel a long time ago. Horrid pressure leaks were where my problems lay...

@Nodge68 I just discovered by reason of search, search, search here on a posting from Rob Bell (re sumpguards of all things) that he had a problem with replacement door speakers fouling the window. Guess what? Mine has the same problem on close scrutiny. Anger doesn't mean violence but I...

@Nodge68 and @Jayridium - Thank you both! That is super helpful.

Not doubting your discovery on injectors @Merloch91, but I was so surprised with your news that I just had to look at https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/parts/index/part/id/L6.L6G.L6G03.L6G03090/brand/land-rover/ I would presume new vs remanufactured would provide the same performance...

I am genuinely pleased to hear your news @Merloch91 I just acquired my TD4 2005 manual but everything I am doing I am checking part numbers with the LR fiches and checking against my VIN too. I am surprised to hear the auto and manual engines have different injectors. Have a great day tomorrow!

@Nodge68 cable has shredded... :mad: Its an aftermarket item with a 2020 production date on it, maker is Lift Tek, made in Italy. The rails have poor corrosion protection, are not smooth, edges sharp and worn the nylon guides and the bowden cables miserable cheap 5h1t etc. So I have ordered...

What's the mileage for this engine do you think @Merloch91 ? Not the same, but I had a devil of a job starting a 250,000 mile Peugeot Partner Mk1 this time last year with new glow plugs that went duff almost instantly. On trying to start with brake cleaner, I got some inlet blow back too. So...

BRILLIANT! Love it.

If the crank hasn't "appeared" to have failed with the @Nodge68 test, I would get a set of known working injectors (that are spraying correctly), ideally new or recon' ones. Put them in and re-try. If the engine is in poor condition and you eventually swap it out, then you have a new set of...

Hello @Nodge68, I fitted the latching switch and blanking insert today. Do you know if the blanking insert attaches to the wiring for a cruise control circuit please? I think it is but a second opinion is valued!

Front door LHD window is not actuating. I haven't established if cable has failed or whether the assembly with the friction pad has slipped. Least ways it's at the bottom of the door cavity, attached to something... Light outside is failing and I slashed a finger trimming the adhesive to...

Good thinking @Nodge68 ! I'm going to replace the master cylinder, I wish I could find a metal, robust MC, but there you go!

In the good old days I used a Gunson device pressurised by the spare (probably on my old mini's). I'm looking for a recommendation for a kit/tool/device that adapts to our needs on freelancers. I want to change all my hydraulic fluids, RELIABLY. :rolleyes: Thanks.

Thank you very much @Nodge68. One for the answer directly and two, for putting me out of my misery trying to recall the technical phrase. Latching!! :rolleyes:

I like, no, LOVE this type of near zero cost practical type of modification. I did this on my Peugeot Partner. Mind you, I also removed the crankcase breather return to the inlet manifold and put a breather filter on. Why do I mention this? Well, I was rolling down a hill recently and the...

Have I worn my welcome out yet???? I just received a new switch - Parking Aid System SKU: YUG500330PUY direct from LandRover. The switch in the newly arrived 2005 TD4 manual is broken. Not sure how or why, as was the glove box door and the other blanking plug next to it. I was expecting it...

Hello @kernowsvenski, I'm between Carhaix-Plouguer and Callac. No streetlights. Lots of forest. What's a village?? LOL. About 30 minutes from Morlaix. Korrigans for friends... :eek:

Hey @pscan.eu, what's the steering wheel like please? Would you mail it to France? I've had no problems with second-hand parts being mailed out here from UK. Let me know please! Oh and if you decide to break the engine, the inlet manifold would be of interest too!

Some days I wonder about whether I have reached the age where I can self justify treachery and being an outlaw. As in take the airbag out, fashion a sensor disable circuit and saw my 12 gauge down. But I was brought up proper. And I like things correct. Thanks all, expect an update next week...
