It's probably the green fuel pipe which rubs against the wiring loom for the pump. Known TD5 issue so that's where I'd look first. The replacement line is available on its own (YNI500030K), it's easy to replace and doesn't need the tank dropping...

Since the fuse box has been changed you will need to do as mentioned above. Since the vehicle isn't stock it's hard to say what has been done. Operate a few things and check which one clicks, then label them or you will forget for next time.

I used the cheapest sound pads from Ebay and they worked just fine. I then used a foam insulation from Vandalised, that also worked fine. Dodo is too expensive in my mind. Sound pads on the inside of the door skins and foam inside the door inner...

3 kids in 2 weeks? Blimey, she must be knackered and a medical marvel. 😁

Personally I think that in reality they are all overpriced. Expensive to own, run, fuel, tax, insurance and park now with emissions rated parking. Galv chassis would be getting on for £10k fitted so the sellers would want good money for it...

Apparently I need a 8 new office chairs from Ebay at this moment in time.

I hope you get some joy soon, it is a bit soul destroying at times.

Clean all the oil around the injectors, run the purge cycle and carefully watch for any diesel leaks around the injectors. In my limited experience leaking injectors doesn't stop it from starting a bad crank sensor or interference from a bad...

If you can see diesel then the seal must be leaking or the head is cracked surely. I don't think that would stop it from starting though.

The bearing press kit for the front main ball joints top and bottom had a perfect fitting sleeve + a dump hammer which I used

Well I am pleased some of my advice was useful to you. Out of interest what did you use to knock the new seal in.

It's not just you

Yes, common enough. I did that very job for a mate some years ago. Also many have had drum brake rear axle replaced with later disc brake axle. Box of chocolates as Forrest said.:):)

Drive a bit slower on the motorway. My son has a 200tdi and 1.2 transfer box. It is fine in most situations but it lightly loaded, lots of steep hills can prove a challenge though. We stopped on a steep road in Wales once and had to use low...

You can't rely on the axles being correct for that year, my son's Ninety has a Disco 1 front axle I do believe.

You don't have a Defender though, maybe the early seats are different in some way?

Have a look at YouTube, there will be a video for it.
