Rover 75 - TD4 Engine

<< < (2/2)

thermidorthelobster:
IIRC, the 2L turbo diesel engine of late 90s vintage is the L-series diesel as appeared in the original Freelander.  Pretty good engines IMHO.

I wasn't aware that the later Freelander TD4 engine was ever used in anything else...?  Unlike the current Volvo Td4!

wheelspinner:
I have one in my 150K freebie I just service it every 10000 miles and it goes like clockwork.

Few things to look for the EGR valve gets gummed up just whip it out and give it a clean with a bottle brush and some carb cleaner or replace it with a bypass tube,the PCV/crankcase vent gets gummed up as well its fairly easy to replce just get the bits off ebay, the hoses also tend to split but they are cheap to replace. 

If the pumps are the same as a freebie make sure they are both in good nick as the one in the tank has a habit of  have a habit of failing.

Try here for a bit more power and a few good pointers
