Hello peeps,got a fueling problem with my 2001 disco td5.The car starts and runs fine on a level surface or when the car is tilted forward,but when the car is parked up with back end tilted down it's like the fuel runs away from the engine and won't start with out going through the motions of giving it the five pedal prime.Any ideas would be much welcomed ,cheers Rob

Welcome to landyzone Zest.

Check your fuel pressure regulator isn't leaking. Also check that the fuel pipes haven't worn through on the chassis rail.
