Just tried to get the RAVE stuff downloaded. Unfortunately it looks like its designed for Windows and I am an Apple whore! LOL I'll try and find some software to emulate windows on the iMac.

I'm using the Haynes manual at present

Thanks, I'll have a go at that today

hi there, I could really use some help before Mr Hammer becomes acquainted with Mr Rear Door Windows! I’ve got a 5 door GS TD4 2001 Auto. The rear near side electric window does what it should but the offside doesn’t. So, I bought a replacement motor and regulator as the old one looked...

And a final answer to the cause of the problems with the 1.8 Freelander. I put it on ebay and the landlord of the workshop I rent bought it! LOL Anyway, he says that the INLET and OUTLET cogs on the side of the engine (driven by cam belt) had been put on the wrong way around. This was throwing...

And the cruise control bits and bobs from today - sorry the photos are so large, I need to learn how to reduce the photos for everyones sanity!

Hi guys, Thanks for the responses. Arctic2 - thanks for the advice, I'll check on those points. So, hopefully, there will be some photos from the links below.... in theory

Hi guys, So, I have a 2002 TD4 5 door GS which I got a few weeks back after being screwed over by a local Ford dealer on my faulty new B-Max (not bitter here at all....really...ok a little). Long and short meant I handed it back to the dealers, lost £6K and then found this gorgeous TD4 at the...

A quick update. New Freelander is great! I love it. So nice to be back in a diesel auto. I’ve refurbed the black leather seats and fitted them. The heating elements work perfectly! I just connected the plugs under each seat, popped the genuine switches either side of the ashtray (loom plugs...

Hi, Sorry to resurrect this thread but I’m about to do this upgrade. I’ve got a 52 plate TD4 auto. I’ve picked up the master switch (actually I have a couple, for the binnacle or the side auxiliary switch panel), the ECU and the steering wheel controls should be here tomorrow. Where does...

Thanks for the referral. I’ve just dropped the TD4 off for a major service and gearbox oil and filter change. The service book is stamped to 61k but she is now at 105k with no evidence of work. Better safe than sorry. I’ve also picked up a set of black leather heated seats which will help with...

Hey folks, Sorry for the delay, health hasn’t been great. My osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia have kicked up a notch and I can’t comfortably drive a manual car now. I used to be able to for a few days at a time (been driving an auto as my daily driver for a couple of years due to pain) but now...

Ok, so.... I bought a second hand, but warranted, complete fuel pump/filter/chamber etc from a dealer on eBay. I fitted it this afternoon and the Freebie starts up again at last. However, I've still got the original issue that she revs to 4000 rpm then 'misses' and the revs drop off. A...

Hi guys, So sorry for the long silence. I care for my mother full time, she has advanced dementia and the last few months have been tough for us all. Anyway, the latest on the Freebie..... I changed the fuel filter and refitted everything. She now doesn't even fire! The engine spins over fine...

The belt was done about 20k miles ago according to the paperwork I got with her. The cam sensor and throttle position sensor were changed today. She appears to idle better now but that could also be from the fresh fuel and injector cleaner. Been out for a drive today and, as long as you are...

\ Thanks, Nodge68. Would this mean I will have to do a campbell replacement? Or is there a way to adjust the cam timing?

Hi guys, Thanks for all the comments. Here is the lastest info. I've had it on a Sykes-Pickavant ACR4 reader with the correct MG-Rover pod and the only error that comes up is 0340 crankshaft sensor error, invalid reading. Google says that 0340 is usually CAMshaft but the ACR is adamant...

I can't see or hear any leaks around the throttle body.

The plugs look new. Not sure how to check the fuel pressure, tbh.

Hi guys, I am after some advice, please. I have recently bought a 2001 1.8 s/w to play with. Structurally she is fine but I bought her with a running problem. Yep, I know, I'm stupid! So, when you are driving it is almost like she is missing on a cylinder. It's not constantly and it gets...
