hello needs some help please
i've had a disco 2 td5 manual for just over a year now and its always had a noisy fuel pump and if you leave
the fuel drop below quarter tank she will conk out as if she has no fuel, also its hit and miss when it come to power some days she fly's and other days seems to have no guts.
well today we purchased a caravan went to collect it hooked it all up now this caravan was at the bottom of a very steep hill, went to drive off it wouldn't even move! high revs leave off handbrake and she would die out,
the caravan is 1300kg which should be no bother, my thought would be the pump, luckily my in law came with a 04 navara and it towed it back for me.
any help much appreciated thanks all.
 
Any advice? This is what I've found so far checked ecu red plug a little tiny amount of oil so will probably get fuel harness and contact cleaner to clean it up checked wastegate actuator was a little sticky freed it up now and noticed a load of oil around the breather pipe to turbo I've put up images for anyone to look at any advice much appreciated
