Waiting for a pressure gauge to get here, but in the meantime....have a question maybe you can help. After changing the fuel filter, as I stated above the truck turns over but no longer starts. When I turn the key I can hear a click from, what sounds like the fuel pump relay, but don't hear...

How do I check the fuel pressure?

Should have posted a pic, sorry! What I meant was the air filter was full of debris: sand, dust, small leaves and even a twig! So I cleaned it out the best I could and put the filter back in. Today I will start cleaning out all the pipes and let you know.....thank you for the input!

I'll check for disconnected wires, again :( The not turning over part happened last week also, after push starting it it went away. :confused: thanks for your input. Where I am in costa rica, the LR dealer or even a good LR mechanic is over 5 hours away:eek: so I need to do whatever I can before...

Yes, changed the fuel filter a little while ago. Took it for a test and the problem is still there. Matter of fact, now I can't even get it to start as it won't turn over. Oh man, it's driving me crazy!

The fuel capacity for the td5 is 7.2 liters, I had a friend pick up 5 quarts for me thinking I would be able to get to the station and top it off.... I figured the stick may read low, but it's dry

Not sure what's going on because now it won't turn over when I try to start. The strangest thing is that when I check the oil the dipstick is dry...eve though I just put 5 quarts of oil in it!!

Ok, now I'm really loosing it:mad: just went to start it again and it's not turning over! And the strangest thing is I just put 5 quarts of oil in, but when I check the dipstick is dry, nothing! What is going on?

Now I'm starting to see a little smoke from below the back of the rocker cover. Doesn't smell like oil and it's very faint but constant :eek:

Ok, changed the fuel filter, took it for a test and the problem is still there:confused::confused:

Haven't got it out of second, I live up a hill and I'm nervous bringing it down. It starts and runs ok otherwise. But now I just realize there's a squeaky skreech when I turn it off! Throttle setting? :eek: not sure how? Checked the air filter and it was a mess, cleaned it out and put it...

Hoping someone can share some knowledge......After replacing the battery; changing the oil and both filters; replacing the fuel injector loom....I still have no power in 1 and/or 2 gear. It feels as though I can't get the engine to rev higher than say a few thousand RPM's. Just drove it around...

Hi, been trying to work out these problems with my 2006 Td5 Defender.....After replacing the battery; changing the oil and both filters; replacing the fuel injector loom....I still have no power in 1 and/or 2 gear. It feels as though I can't get the engine to rev higher than say a few thousand...

Hi guys, waiting for the new injector loom to arrive and have 2 questions before starting, hope someone can advise: 1: can this be done without the use of a torque wrench? 2: What should I use to clean out the bottom plug that attaches to the loom (it has oil in it?) thanks in advance.....
