Hi further to my previous posts this Td4 just keeps giving lol, faults that is! After all the work previously mentioned and removal of broken glow plug electrodes from head I was jumping for joy ( short lived ) I started the car up ran quieter didn't smoke and I thought great all done however...

Is the PG1 an Auto box then ?

Might sound like a basic question but how do I know which gearbox is in my Facelift 2006 TD4 manual Freelander ? I have capacity info for both but was unsure of the differences between the two is the fill/drain plug a identifying feature as I see one has Allen key and one has large bolt type...

HOORAH, well against all odds the vacuum idea with air compressor worked, the bit is out through the injector hole. My wet n dry vac had a 22 mm tube taped to the hose and was a tight fit in the injector hole and I borrowed my friends portable workshop compressor I started the vacuum and applied...

Cheers I have the same camera on a long usb cable I inserted it into the cylinder but the light source is poor and you couldn't make out much there was also some glare off the cylinder wall and to be able to see the piiston needs to be at least halfway down overall head off is imminent cheers...

Problem is the 7 mm injector hole it's barely big enough to get any tool through let alone with something else on it there is very deep swirl chambers in the piston crown and you cant see where the damn tip is it's almost impossible whoever made glow plugs non magnetic wants a good slap, the...

Nearly giving in as I have found the broken tip is NOT magnetic and is refusing to come out with a vacuum cleaner reduced pipe on the injector hole. My last attempt before head removal is to get my dads compressor and blow jets of air into the glow plug hole in an attempt to assist the vacuum to...

ordered a small flexible magnet retrieval tool with a 4 mm head so should fit through 7 mm injector hole, I don't expect it to be easy but at least it's not head off yet.

Thank You for Your replies I'm liking the vacuum to a smaller tube idea as that's something I never thought of I was stuck on the magnet idea but suction could work too so I've got some options to try at least thanks again for the advice,Alan.

Well it happened, drilled out my broken glow plug thought all was going well until the end bit broke off in the head. I had seen a you tube video of what to do if this happens so tapped the bit through into the cylinder and removed the injector expecting to just fish out the broken end with a...

Yes I watched that one too thanks for reply

Well Today while waiting for the arrival of my broken glow plug drill kit I carried out a couple of the waiting jobs on my Td4. The removal of the inlet manifold exposed the what I assume are crankcase vent ports into the manifold and they were very heavily gummed up with carbon sludge, using an...

could be but EGR valves give lumpy running too you really need to plea with someone on here near You to take a look if You were local to me I would have helped more good luck, AL.

If You do a general Google search it says the code is triggered during a communication from the ECU to the MIL lamp circuit and the voltage is too high indicating short to ground on that circuit initially I would test the mil light does illuminate then spray all connections multiplugs with...

Tried to look up code on list I have of P codes but all mine are P0xxx where the P1xxx is listed it says manufacturer specific codes associated with a particular ECM don't know any more than that sorry.

Has the vehicle battery been totally disconnected to reset everything and has the docking key battery been replaced or spare docking key tried, simple reply I know but basics first also spray all associated multi plug connections with electrical contact cleaner, I had a sticking igniter switch...

will put an after pic up later but sadly no before poor phone camera will have to get son back lol

TBH He said He could do it as a Job He enjoys the work bit different to self employed gardening but my view is that once you do your hobby as a job it takes away the enjoyment as I found out a number of years ago when I worked as a manager in an aquatic store I lost the enthusiasm to look after...

Just spent the whole day with my Son who owns a £150 machine polisher kit doing the TD4 bodywork, well Him really and to be honest as a father if He had said should He buy one at £150 I would probably have said don't be stupid but today I was proved wrong the polisher with the correct heads and...

Yes it did start badly and as the plugs have sheared below the 10mm body nut I wondered whether compression could push out the centre electrode so I'm not starting the vehicle and opting for the thorough job,it stands to reason the number 1 and 4 are more difficult to replace and may have never...
