Having ceased ignoring this thread whilst on vacation. I shall now resume doing so.

Been busy all week ignoring it 👍

Must admit, I only worked it out after double-checking and spotting the OP’s signature !

Didn't know it was an FL2 when I posted. Will delete my post !!

Found it, massive split in the pipe next to the intercooler!

Me💁 although confusion has descended 🤣

Who is Mark!?! Cranking is the engine turning over before ‘firing’ and running… the ‘wer’ bit of Wer, wer, wer, wer, wer, wer, vroom! IIRC = If I Recall Correctly… If you watch the video I posted, it shows you the 3 wires. One is the 12v...

I have a spare one in my glove box, with an 8mm socket, just in case! If pushed, you can change it at the roadside (so I’m told 😉)

Finally got round to replacing the crank position sensor. The car had only failed to start twice these past couple of months but the crank sensor seemed to be the most likely culprit. Only time will tell. Easy job, took less than an hour.

Probe it first and see if the signal looks correct, before ordering. IIRC, you are looking for something like 1-5v at cranking, but you’d need to check that. Mine was about 0.03!

I had starting issues on my F1, especially when the engine was warm. It would ‘crank’ but not ‘fire’ for prolonged periods. I bought a cheap cam sensor and it solved the issue. The ‘cheap’ sensor failed after about 6 months, so I then bought a...

On an F1 TD4, I’d have gone for the camshaft sensor first, like I mentioned in post #16. A faulty one will give starting issues.

The reservoir has a filter in it that can get clogged over time. It’s good practice to change it at the same time, for peace of mind - they are not expensive.

Looks tidy 👍 Nice fixer-up

Have a look in this thread - covers a lot of it for you, with pics courtesy of @Arctic2. Do not start it before you have purged the air… have a read below; https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/p-a-s-problem.359168/#post-4857686
