Day 5…. New wiper blade needed(replace 1 now the other has broke) Filled screen wash up Checked oil Kicked tyres All good & 180miles drive home.

I would start with the throttle cable rather than adjusting the pump. I always treat the pump adjustments as the final resort.

Taken it out for a drive this morning. Cooling nicely, no new noises. Only issue is a slightly higher idle than before. Pretty sure that’s just a screw adjustment. I’ll take a look when I’m wearing my scruffs again.

From memory green and brown is for the reverse switch on the back of the gearbox (assuming LT77). So it is not essential for getting or keeping the engine running. Although that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be repaired!

Wedged some foam insulation round the fuel filter, the filter bracket has broken off. Good job it's has a housing round it.

Need to do something about this green wire which is holding on for dear life

PROGRESS UPDATE:

Mine too, your fuel 'path' looks right to me. Get that battery charged, turnover sounded awful in your vid

Whilst I’m waiting for the charger to do its job this morning, I was matching up my fuel pipe routing compared to the video. I’ve drawn up a diagram which shows the flow. My fuel is starting into the lift pump rather than into the filter which...

Top up/fill up… Engine oil Water Screen wash Kicked tyres Power steering( looks like a small weep on drop arm) A fixed a bit of tape to the throttle adjuster to stop the cable winding loose due to diesel vibrations Loaded motor for few days...

Yep. Pumping nicely.

Have you tried operating the lift pump by hand?

Lift pump has been changed but now I’ve no crank. Off to borrow a battery charger 🤞🏻

Stick a battery charger on the old girl.

I figured out how to take the glass out of the front sunroof, which is actually very surprisingly simple, so I’ve been rolling round with both sections out the last couple of days 👌🏼👌🏼.

Both on the turn of the key and manually using the “pump arm”

Step 1, no “squib” from the lift pump. 👍👍

Cheers @miktdish - I know where all these parts are. I will take a look at this tomorrow or Saturday when I have a free morning. 🫡

Then before you worry about it further, if it clicks (if its working)and you have LP fuel to the injector pump then you should have fuel at the injectors so shirley thats the next test step. If you have fuel in and no fuel out then even though...

Might be useful for understanding the system.

Only thinking during the diagnosis process @miktdish rather than waiting on a part.

I am also confirmed to be getting a click on the solenoid when power is applied.

I've confirmed power is going to this. Any way to bypass it to rule it in or out of the tests?

The small pipe is fuel leak off pipe to the pump. I sent you a pm but basically you need to check for fuel going to lift pump, going to filter, going to injection pump. It needs continuous 12v at stop solenoid to let fuel through. When you are...

Adding a thread here for a way to log progress and hopefully help others in future. My 91 Defender 200TDI (which I now have learned contains a Disco engine) is failing to start after I've replaced the steering shaft and radiator - doing the...

Something in and around here @Anaconda ?

Cheers. Learn something new about this bloody thing every day. Now need to work out why it won’t start after I’ve changed the radiator per the workshop manual. Turns over but won’t start. Air in fuel? Some wire come loose somewhere? 😣😣

Fitting new radiator along with new hoses. My thinking was the blue ones give me a clue in future which ones have already been done 😂 However, a couple of the hoses don’t match. The set I’ve bought are definitely Defender hoses (according to...

Can this be done with wheels on the ground or do they need lifting?
