Having changed the fuel pump on the Td5 last Thursday, I was still having serious trouble in starting the D2.
Eventually took it in to the local Indy and picked it up ten minutes ago: ignition seals replaced as well as filters. Like a new one now - vroom vroom............Who's a happy bunny?
Except: I replaced the pump with an after-market one, not a gen LR part as I was travelling south to north when the problem grew serious and I found an LR indy parts place on the way home. But, I feel the old LR pump is still viable so do I change it back or just keep it handy?
 
Good to hear! I did see how much trouble you were having with the thing and I didn't have a clue :p
I'd just leave the aftermarket in there and keep the genuine as a spare, given its the original and 14+ years old. Assuming the aftermarket isn't a cheap piece of sh*t :rolleyes:
 
Yep injector seals and washers is the common fault. Good to hear you got a running Disco again,.

Can you post this info on your other post about this issue to close them as well please, then others when they search can see what resolved the issue.

Cheers

Think you are right but come the spring I might spend an afternoon just checking the lines and changing the pump back.
