Far North Newbie

[Splashman237]

New to site, Live in Nairn Scotland far far North . Seem to have inherited my sons Defender Landy resurection project ( He's just left it behind after moving down to Glasgow) its aged around 1985 Turbo'd but the dreaded 19j engine.... Its a good looker with Knobbly tyres lifted suspension, galv chassis, full roll bars and snorkley/ spots etc and must previously have done a fair bit of offroading . So far I've had the engine out , fully re-furbed, had head re-worked ( pre-ignition pots done, head skimmed , bores honed , new bearings, rings, clutch done, starter motor, wiring harness for engine, Gearbox checked over, prop shaft new joints etc new floors, and alloy floor plates and its got new seats.

Now I know everyone will say swop for a TDI 200 but I've done the work so want to see it running . I've been trying to get the beast to fire up again and I'm struggling with fuel supply and heater plug power supply, as Ive not previously had experience of Landy diesel engines , hence joining to see if someone can help me trouble-shoot the issues.
