Yay! Now that the CCU and the ECU are talking to each other, the immobiliser no longer shuts down the engine, and she goes like a beauty!! Have been up and down the road a few times, and although the car doesn't drive like our Disco, it feels good. The engine although not as responsive as...

Thanks Dean We are going to change the CCU on the weekend. We figured it was probably the problem, and are now certain of it. The CCU and ECU cannot communicate. It should have been changed in the first place, but we were worried about how the keys etc would work - forgetting that we did have...

Bandit, this was a big enough job using an engine made for the car - can't imagine how you successfully did it with a different one!!! We checked all the connections, and the line to the fuel tank and all is good. We have fuel to the little bleed thingy on the fuel pump in the engine, so we...

Hello all, Well today was the day! New engine in, fuel tank etc, and all wired up. Diesel,oil and coolant in the engine - then it was time to turn the key. She starts, runs beautifully for 10 seconds then stops!!! We were so worried about the security stuff that we didn't think about anything...

Thanks Sparkyjohn, that's good to know as we'll have a couple of spares. The diesel engine was removed from its carcass yesterday, and today we will change the timing belts on it (since we don't know if or when they were done) while the engine is out of the car. Then the scary bit starts -...

Is it possible then that the ecu can be programmed to accept the abs? That would be good! The ecu, ignition and keys are all from the same car, so I will be sure to change the batteries before turning the ignition. I am wondering if the remotes from the petrol engine ignition can be reprogrammed...

Hi all, thought I would give you a quick update on our 'project'. The replacement engine arrived - quite amazing. The wreckers had just used a giant cutting device to cut through the roof, windscreen, door pillars and floor to separate the whole front of the car and send it to us on a palette...

Thank you to all who have been kind enough to reply for your input. I will read the thread you have suggested Cashybai. As it turns out, we are getting the whole front of the car - including wiring harness, gearbox, dash, ignition, exhaust and of course the whole engine. We are in Brisbane...

We have acquired a 98 petrol Freelander with a blown engine which we will replace with a diesel engine. Has anyone had experience with replacement engines and the issues that will rise with the security codes for the engine immobiliser and the door keys. Will the ignition need to be changed to...
