Hi, New to Land Rovers, bought a DIsco TD5 2001 with 80k from a private dealer (mistake) I have had it about 6 weeks and not used a tank of fuel because it wont go! Initially it wouldnt start, so had a new injector loom, fuel filter, then found injector 2 had solenoid problem, fixed that and it ran ...but not very well! two days later it broke down and this time it was the 'in tank pump', had new one fitted,it ran but again not very well, lumpy tick over and loses power up hills and under load, would not be able to over take a car on motorway doing more than 50mph. Checked turbo waste gate....free, disconnected MAf and it seemed to be less powerfull, so assume that is working.
Latest...took injectors out and had tested at good diesel engineers, test found all injectors are delivering less fuel than they should, they are going to try a new nozzle on the worst one tomorrow, but they dont think this will solve problem as they think it might be worn internals.
Called Land Rover Dealer/mechanic they thought it was unusual for all injectors to have this problem, they said solenoid or nozzle problems on individual injectors cause problems and suggested re assemble and try computer diagnostic to solve problem.
I am at a loss what to do next, new injectors, big money!! or put back together and have diagnostic..good money after bad!!
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
