Thread: Help from the guru's

The TD4 is a good engine. BMW built. Check the clutch hydraulics for leaks. If you need to replace the slave cylinder, you need to remove the gearbox.

Does it only run on 3 cylinder when first started cold and then fine after that?

A split turbo hose and that clamp missing off the EGR pipe will make them very sluggish.
Check water pump, as they are common to leak.
Check VCU. do a Google search on this.

The most KM i have seen on these is just under 400000km and it ran perfectly.
My brother sold his 2001 model 12 months ago with 290000km on it for $4500.

Thanks woko , it got traded for $2500. But I was wondering if was worth fixing as it's never over in a rover. But I think I'll give it a miss as I think it would take a couple of grand to get to a reliable vehicle as a Landie should be. Though a real shame. Does anyone know if the Injectors can be cleaned or is replacement the only option ? Still oh Bugger I don't know.

You can buy replacement injector nozzles for them

Not being lazy , But do you know who from ? I think I will grab the Freelander after looking what else is available out there!

Lets take it to Moonbi to 'test it out' before your daughter gets it.
Can't let her have all the fun.

She doesn't get her L's till January , till that time I get to fix it up!

Forgive me gurus for I have sinned , I really did try but I just couldn't do it. I don't have the space or time to do the Freelander justice & with the daughter saying she wanted a 'fun' car & the missus saying she trusts my judgement ( & she has been very understanding with 4 series in the yard ) I have purchased a GULP Suzuki Vitara soft top. In the end the Freelander needed tyres, brakes, possibly a lift pump & injectors sorted & a couple of seals done along with a good service . I also noticed a damp stain in front of the viscous coupling & well that's another couple of hundred bucks I don't have. So sorry if I've let the side down but hopefully once she's on her P's I'll try to get her into a Landy of her own. Thanks to all for the advice given it was really helpful & if anyone is interested in the Freelander I know work is busting to get rid of it (along with the Magna) so let me know & I'll see what I can do.
