United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Rimini Red

That data is pretty hard to come by, in fact I couldn't find much data at all when I replaced a damaged piston.
I simply got another low mileage piston at fitted that, as it was better than the smashed one.

It's very unusual for these engines to suffer much bore, ring or piston wear, simply because it's a good design, runs at low speeds, and it fueled by diesel. For this reason these engines should cover well over 300k miles before a rebuild is needed. My own showed minimal piston wear at 119k, and the bearings still looked brand new, proving there's minimal friction going on.

What compression pressures were you getting? and was it even across all cylinders?
If it was across all cylinders then I'd suspect an intake blockage (throttle body closed or turbo compressor stalled) or cam timing to be out.
I've never heard of compression so low it won't start, as like I said that's far from normal, so I'd definitely be looking elsewhere first. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. My daily driver.
Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE.
