Hi guys I have an issue when starting my disco in the morning, once she is running I do not have the problem for the rest of the day, earth wires ok, battery good, she will turn over just to the point when u think the battery is going to go flat then she fires, glow plugs are new and working, if you put your foot on the accelerator while starting she fires quicker, I have just street running on veg oil!
I've changed fuel filter, all my investigations point to fuel pump/ lift pump although lift pump changed 8 months ago (well know rubbish brand) what's your opinion on what fault could be, it is like there the fuel is running back to tank! Cheers perry
 
Starter gave me similar symptoms in my Defender, sounds like battery is flat but wasnt,

Just a thought!

sounds like a leak in fuel system ,leak off pipes can cause the issue as can poor lift pump valves or small leak at sender on the tank or sedimentor on inside of chassis
