hi my discovery cut out whilst ticking over.found the lift pump to be not working.changed the lift pump bled fuel through to injector pump but cannot get it any further.have taken stop switch apart and bled through to top of injector pump but just will not go any further.

we need a bit more info..... what engine is it? 200tdi 300tdi td5 tdv6?

hi its a 200tdi
Thanks Gavin

Have you tried starting it? They usually start ok after bleeding to the top of the filter

hi Richard have been turning it over with all the injector pipes off but no fuel will come up to the injectors
Thanks Gavin

is the timing belt intact???

Open the oil filler cap, and shine a little torch inside so you can see a rocker.
If you can't see a rocker you may need to lift the rocker cover off.
Get someone to operate the starter.
If the rockers rock, the cam belt is NOT broken.

If the rockers do NOT rock as the engine turns - suspect a broken cam belt.

Fuel will not reach the injectors simply by priming the lift pump.

i had a problem with a new lift pump
my prblem was that the new lift pump was back to front, so the inlet was the outlet and viceverser, change the pipes round an see what happens,
i would sat iff it was running before chanheing the lift pump ya cam belt will be ok

Yup .... been there, done that ... got caught! Def90 with 15J 2.5 NA
