RRC 2.5 td vm engine problems

Redrangie1990 · Jan 30, 2021

Hello all, I gave a 1990 RRC 2.5td vm engined car and it passed the mot yesterday for the first time since 2002. I drove 12 mile round trip mot and back and today when I was taking it home it kept dying as it was running out of fuel. Its had new filters swapped injectors and the lift pump and still does it. Also just before it dies it belches white bluey smoke out the exhaust. Any ideas please?? Thanks

Best posted in the Range Rover Section @Redrangie1990 as this isn't a project and folks who know the Range Rover Classic will see it there.

Sounds like fuel starvation, try and run a gravity feed direct to the injection pump to bypass the fuel tank and filter
If the diesel has been left in it for all that time it will turn into a brown tar like substance so you could well have a fuel blockage at the fuel tank end,

Thanks for that, but it has a new tank and fresh diesel.
