Thanks for the replies. Had another quick look today. Whilst the alarm was going off I couldn't open any other doors - the unlock button on the dash didn't do anything. Surely this should work or does the immobiliser prevent this ? Will try a new receiver anyway and pray this works - the sun...

Hello, My 2004 D2 has been stood in the drive for the past 12 months. Battery removed and on trickle. Now need it moved this week - went to connect battery and the alarm keeps going off. When pressing the key-fob it doesn't lock/unlock etc. When locking with key alarm stops - when unlocking...

I had the same problem - nosy pump - difficult to start. Injector washers knackered - oil doesn't increase (as above). Use genuine washers otherwise you'll be doing it again in 12 months. Other place air can get in is the filter housing.

Right, so over Christmas/New year I have fitted two pumps. Neither seem to work (just cranks over) - but as soon as I fit the old pump it fires up. Is there a procedure I'm missing ? I pump the accelerator and let it self prime a few times - anything else ?

Update. Changed fuel filter. Still the same gurgling/whining noise, although it hasn't not started yet! I did think about injector seals, but the oil level is spot on which would suggest these are ok ?

Got a bosch filter on order, should turn up Tuesday. Going to pull the pump as well and give it a clean and go from there. Thanks for all the replies - will update thread next weekend. Cheers. Oh....wouldn't start after a 30 min drive this morning o_O so not a one off!

It has actually done a 1000 miles between MOTs :oops: Had a lot of use lately so I don't think it's bad fuel. Unless the filter is blocked. I got out this morning to open a gate and noticed the pump whining away. Could this be the pump on it's last legs or something else ? Took a video which...

I was thinking fuel filter, have one on order. Checked my orders and was replaced in May 2016, but only done less than 2k miles. Fingers crossed! Cheers.

Its a diesel - 2004 Landmark

Yesterday I had a 20 mile trip into town. Had just under 1/4 tank so quickly stuck £15 in at BP garage. Drove into town, sat there for 40-60 mins, fired back up and drove back. Sat for another 60 mins or so, turned the ignition.....crank, no fire. Waited a minute, tried again, same thing. Third...

Sounds like the green fuel pipe has sprung a leak (part YNI500030K). I managed to get behind the fuel tank and unclip mine. Absolute pain in the rear to do - but easier than dropping a rusty fuel tank full of fuel! As the others have said you will need to rip the boot apart as well!

Be careful what you send them - they can easily take money from your account if you've sent them bank details. Keep an eye on your account. The only legal way (if a refund is not forthcoming) is to take him to small claims - of course he probably won't pay in which case you'll need a high court...

Is the bang when you brake ? Had the same problem with my Audi - turned out to be the front brake pads which hadn't seated correctly. May be worth checking that off the list first. Another is the drop links can loosen and clunk.

I have the same problem - I believe this is the issue: http://www.discovery2.co.uk/CrankPulley.html

Drilled / slotted / dimpled ? I wouldn't bother on a 4x4 - especially if you off road. You will end up with crap in the slots which will destroy the disc. We run solid discs on our track car - they last far longer and don't warp and crack like the drilled and slotted discs do. I run dimpled...
