Hi I had probs with my freelander key I went to Liveridge 4x4 in earlswood nr j3 of the m42 the guy sorted it with there autologic cost 48 +vat they do computer work for the main dealer but cheaper may be worth a try
-

Today I changed the head gasket on my Freelander 1.8i, all went well and I chcked carefully that my valve timing was correct, now it seems that it won't start. it attempts to fire then the plugs get wet. It seems that its cyclinders 1 & 2 that are the wettest loocking through the plug hole. anyone have any suggestions for drying them out or reason why it won't run it has a good spark.
don't know if you have sorted this but i got called out to a freelander after a diy headgasket job turned out the guy had cam wheels fitted wrong just remove bolts to check pins in both cams fitted line up as i refitted cam wheels correctly and it fired up first turn of the key
I hope this helps

either of the above or possibly the water rail running at the back of engine under inlet manifold may be worth putting a pressure check to see under pressure, unless water is leaking in to cylinder bore and exiting out of exhaust i have had that before
-
move air filter housing and look at front of gear box see if you see a black plastic slave cylinder if so that may be the problem but clutch arm can sieze in gear box but probably hydrolics comes complete pre bled with master cylinder costs about £100

I have just had a flood damaged td4 in.
I took the glow plugs out and wound it over with the injectors unplugged and i had liquid coming out of the heater plug holes on 1 and 4.
I dropped the oil to see if there was any water contamination and to my surprise i got a good 15 yes fifteen liters of liquid come out of the sump!
It was incredibly thin and im sure its more than 70% diesel.
How can this have got into the sump?
I refilled with fresh oil and it wont start, it turns over fine but no start.
Any ideas?
thanks
Colin
Hi Colin i have had the same sort of thing with the defender td5 and found the injector seals worn replaced them and problem sorted may be worth checking but be careful the injectors are a tight fit DON'T lever against the plastic rocker cover it will break and its not cheap!!!
cheers

Have you had a diagnostic check.
(plugged in)
It could be a couple of things
You need to plug it in but until then try unplugging the MAF sensor underneath the cover by the air filter if performance is better then that may be your cause
Also list your area in case we can guide you to a decent dealer who can plug in.

Just one question Les, why aren't you using the upgraded head gasket???
Brilliant write up!!!
Martin
Great how to guide Les but the gasket i used was a thick multi layer with a black shim that goes on top i find they do a few more miles
Keep up the good work

Also check the jubilees on the pipe going from the rocker cover to the block and the pipe returning oil to the lower half of the engine for the oil separater/ breather.
Both of these leaked on mine and didn't half cause a mess. A little bit of oil goes a long way
HTH
Mo
Check condition of pipe from block to rocker cover i have had a few split on the inner edge and MO IS RIGHT A LITTLE OIL GOES A LONG WAY
-
Yes, they are different. The complete filter head assembly new does not cost very much.
The 200TDI filter is a spin on cartridge style. The older style has a through bolt and a removable bowl.
Part no for TDI fuel filter is AEU 2147L
plenty of used Disco filter housings around

Tom hi mate i have put a few disco engines in defenders and i dont change fly wheel housing i just remove all studs apart from the top 3 then slide them together and refit studs that line up then drill and tap the others.
Use defender mounts on disco engine and use disco rad and intercooler with defender surround as you dont weld, you can use disco surround with some basic welding then a mixture of water pipes and a defender wiring loom or just the plug off the loom (i may have a plug at work)
I am in birmingham so not to far from you so if you need any parts or info P M me
Cheers and good luck

Hi,
Just scraped some funds together to spend some much needed attention to basically the front axle full stop!
Will start with the list of bits first that I know them to be called!!!
1. Swivel Gasket Kit
2. CV Joint (don't know if its 10 spline or 24 spline version!!!)
3. Wheel bearings (told to try changing these as tracking is out on camber of one wheel)
4. Any seals/gaskets that should be changed in the process.
It's a 1993 Landy Disco 200tdi. VIN: SALLJGMF7KA061027
Can anyone help me with this list? Any bit you would replace at the same time etc etc.... I need to know part numbers and cheap places to buy (off the web). I know of Paddock Spares not sure if there is cheaper or not but just getting confused and want to get the right bits as my disco is indispensable for work and I can only have her off road over a weekend for the repairs!!!
Would be very very great full of any help!
Thanks
Iain
Check swivel bearings if camber is out rock wheel top to bottom check if complete hub moves
-
RUST everywhere.
check for holes in the inner wings under bonnet and rear seat belt mounts by rear arches -
hi boys and girls is a defender front swivel hub the same as a discovery one and if so where is the best place to get a complete unit p.s just put disco tdi 200 in defender which had j19 td oh what a deference got down pipe off ebay and les henson guide on here was a great help. so big thanks to les
Hi Tand 200disco swivels are the same new or second hand try Liveridge 4x4 in earlswood just off junc 3 m42 not to far from you

just a quick question will 2002 range rover alloys fit on a 1996 p38 range rover
Hi Rob believe they do fit but should use spigot adapter rings quite cheap of ebay as new shape rangies centres are smaller

i have only just brought my landy and there were a couple of things that i wanted to do to it before taking it off roading. one of them was replacing the rear dampers. i have done this but i cannot keep the damper still when doing up the nut on the bottom. i know there is a flat point on the bottom of the damper to keep it still using a small spanner but i cannot do the nut up tight enough to get to that. is there a special tool i need to do this? am i being a retard and doing it all worng( as per usual)? or have i assembled it wrong? thanks for the help
Hi Tonka make sure you hav'nt cross threaded it then hold lower half of shock tight (above axle ) with large mole grips or i use either a chain grip or large adjustable pliers

I used the Defender rad as that was a 200tdi unit fitted previously and the Disco one would not fit, the oil cooler pipes were a different size as I remember.
I see if I the defender sender makes a difference and check the stat!
Is it worth flushing rad just in case as we had a 300tdi running warm at 70ish turned out previous owner liked RADWELD changed rad and all was ok!
in responce to disco / defender rad oil cooler pipes don't the adapters unscrew??
-
The thing is that the bottom hose warms up but the small pipe to, or is it from? the expansion tank stays cold.
Have you fitted the disco rad that came with engine???
Definatley use defender sender unit as Western says
-
There must be a way of setting the setting the auto arming of the immobiliser !! either on or off !!! (Best read a owners manual sometime
)Both my last TD5 and the 07, can have the keys left in the ignition, and will restart after 10 mins or 10 hours !!
But used a 06 TD5 90 today, and that one rearms itself with the key left in, necessitating using the fob unlock, to deactivate the immobiliser, Only the 2nd one (from memory) that rearms itself
Hi i know if you go to a garage with a T4 or simular computer you can alter alarm/immobilizer functions or dissable altogether B)
-
Ged,
Sounds like you need a day-trip to the UK....
Neil
I agree my mate had one fitted and i'm sure it cost him less than 400gpb including the rear crossmember i will ask him exact price if you want
