i tried crankin its nuts off! but nowt!

is there a proper sequence to use?

dont have a td5 but when my 200tdi ran dry i took the fuel filter off topped that up then cranked it over till it fired same as mondo said...

best advice is dont run dry...

second best advice is if yer do dont sit trying to start it till you put a gallon or two in the tank and topped the filter.

From the TD5 manual, the proper procedure..............

Diesel engine vehicles
After running the fuel tank dry, refuel the tank
with at least 1 gallon (4.5 litres) of diesel fuel,
then carry out the following procedure:
1. Turn off the starter switch and wait for 15
seconds.
2. Turn the starter key to position ‘II’ and wait
for 30 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 six times.
4. After the final 30 second period, fully
depress the accelerator pedal.
5. Keeping the pedal depressed, start
cranking the engine.
6. Continue cranking the engine and as soon
as the engine is firing smoothly, ease the
accelerator pedal back to approximately
halfway through its travel, and release the
starter key. The engine should now be
running.
7. If the engine fails to start, repeat the
process.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The engine must NOT be cranked for more
than 20 seconds in any one period.
If the above procedure is carried out on a
vehicle that has NOT run out of fuel, it will
result in the engine flooding with fuel
and failing to start.

read that somewhere sounds about right (and ours is a 300tdi)

When we changed to fuel filter on the disco, the manual priming lever on the lift pump wouldnt do anything, so we filled the new filter up with fuel, and it worked fine, did the 0-II, 0-II, 0-II and all was well.
