Hi everyone Merry Christmas and all of that thanks to everyone who helped me on my last posts

Moving forward I have a discovery td5 2001 15p which I got about a 8 months ago fitted a new chassis in the meantime but since iv had it cold starting had been abit hit and miss sometimes (very rarely) it will start on the button without letting the glowplug light go out) and sounds sweet although there was a bit of a tapping noise when cold every now and then which I thought injector seals, changed them last night how discovery 2 .co.uk says to fired her up shes a bit quieter now but still struggles to start..

When to put the key in position 2 I can hear the pump, its not noisey or whining but when I got the landy the bloke I got it from left no fuel whatso ever in it so maybe it sucked crap up? when I go to start it it turns over quickly it has a brand new battery over all better than standard spec.. anyway when it turns over ill put my foot on the throttle I bit and it fires? I can see its also had a new fpr and sensor. I have put on a new etc sensor to no avail.. anyone who can help me to what to look at now would be much appreciated.. thanks, lewis from devon
 
Just to say it doesn't smoke from cold unless I floor its and start it, engine doesn't use water or oil and once its started she sounds sweet... when starting from cold ie left overnight it will turn then the moment you touch the throttle it will start
