Have since investigated further and found that the new glow plugs I'd fitted were 5 volt and not 11. Now hanging head in shame. There is a relay fitted, I was thinking of the controller thing fitted to later models. I had the electrician at work check the circuit and all good. |

I removed the swirl flaps on my09 by removing the square drive rod it was very loose in the plastic bushings incorporated in the inlet manifold and you could hear it vibrating at certain revs and load . it is a bit tricky to remove it as it just pulls out but the oil and carbon build up make it very tight . As far as a ecu reset I just refitted the actuator and plugged it in ,this also blocked off the hole at the end . You will need to remove the manifold to do this and it will need a good clean ,I soaked mine in diesel for 24 hrs then hit it with a pressure cleaner . Definitely makes a difference ,the dead spot down low disappears and acceleration is quicker but looses a little at the top end 09 freelander 99 discovery 20 discovery 98 commodore ute 71 series 2a lwb tray 69 corvette stingray 64 series 2a swb confiscated wallet 1927 dodge tourer 2009 ss commodore 1926 dodge truck |

Could you not just fit the later manifold without the flaps? |

That's what I did, the replacement manifold came from a scrapped Peugeot - same part numbers moulded into it as the Land Rover manifolds. I replaced faulty glow plugs and fuel filter at the same time. |

I've been looking a Pug one in ebay but wasn't sure? It would seem that the same manifold is in a few different cars? |

Hey Badger sorry missed you're question. No I didn't disconnect it. It may have broken. When the car was running rough at startup I took it to a land rover specialist. He pointed out that something was not right there, but he didn't know what the rough start issue was. As I say, the issue corrected itself so I didn't think about it again until now...3 years later. I am now armed with a bore scope and I'm going to pull the intake manifold for a looksee and flap removal. I want to do a carbon clean and with the scope I can check the valves are closed and I've cleaned it up right. New fuel filter and ERG blanking plate also now here for install. I reckon the rough starting was swirl flap pieces sucked into the cylinder head. When I'm finished the intake manifold job, I will pull the injectors and the bore scope may show slight damage to the cylinders, but the engine runs well except for a tick which I think comes from the lifters or the injectors. I'll post the pics. Starting the job now. |

Ok so I did this job today and documented the process for a video that I'll eventually edit and post.

Never considered this when I discovered my cyl 1 flap had been ingested , the engine did lose power /misfire for a few minutes and had a rough idle that went within a 100 miles or so. Now it makes sense that the engine took time to digest the plastic. Still the good news was that it was the catalyst to replace the manifold with the later flapless version and the exhaust camshaft . |
