Hi All
Had a problem starting herselfs 02 TD4 so We put it in to the local mechanic who said it was a fuel pump. already replaced one three years earlier, symptoms sounded the same so a fair guess I thought.
When the new pump was fitted the SRS light came on. Our mechanic said his diagnostic machine couldnt get in so we needed to take it to landrover.
80 later landrover said they couldnt run a full diagnostic as there was a fault on the DCU. To proceed any further it would have to be changed -700 but there could be further problems.
the engine will turn over but not fire now.
sometimes I can hear the fuel pump and sometimes I cannot on start up, could the new pump be faulty?
What i need to know is would the DCU affect the starting and running? If it was only 700 to get it running again would be the end of the world
Or could I put a second hand DCU in? landrover say no but wouldnt tell me why and in the past following company line sounded very similar to speaking with a forked tongue to me. Herselfs first freelander was a 1.8 petrol and after four new engines under warranty they still insisted it was just bad luck.
Does the immobiliser system stop the fuel pump working??
Or should I just bite the bullet and scrap it??
Any ideas welcome only I dont like herself thrashing my defender and cruising in it with her mates
