Just an update for all...if you're interested that is!:) Changed the bleed off pipes, glow plugs and the fuel filter. I've fitted a non-return valve and a fuel priming bulb (form an old Citroen diesel). Primed the fuel filter and pump, cranked her over and...........result! She sprang to...

£100 for a pump/sender from flea bay..45 litres of fuel to drain from the tank. I do hope it's not that! It's seeming more and more likely though!! I've already managed to lose the banjo bolt...I wonder if I should contact someone?? Seems if you drop a bolt in my engine bay, it falls through a...

How long does the pump run/prime for? I switched the ignition on/off a few times on for 30 then off, and repeat. No great fountain of fuel though..not even a trickle. Have read elsewhere that it requires a closed loop to work at its best, pipe needs to be primed to allow flow. There's no fuel...

Just had to rush down to my local 4x4 specialist for some bits.. one of which was one of those fuel pipes!! The clear length between the filter and injection pump. The plastic end snapped when I tried to remove it. I got a new fuel filter, glow plugs and a length of leak off pipe. As well as...

It has been some time since I have required the help of the forum..my 2.5 DSE has been running sweetly for several months....not any more though!:mad: Out of nowhere the old girl won't start, at all! I have searched through other posts, most are for slow starters not non-starters. Here...

Fixed the leak!! Sourced it to the roof! I unclipped the roof gutter trim and found alot of debris which i cleaned away. I found the paint had cracked near the front edge of the roof where the metal is folded and sealed. . On closer inspection there was sealant visible behind the crack in the...

Thanks for the help. I don't know if the trim would be to blame in this case, it's getting wet at the top of the A pillar first, then running down..when I removed the trim the water dripped straight from the roof lining onto the floor. I think I'm going to attack the top of the windscreen with a...

With the recent torrential downpours...WTF it's June??....I noticed a small puddle in the footwell, on top of the rubber floor mats:confused: I looked around the cabin and found the roof lining was wet, top right hand corner next to the windscreen. So I've stripped the external trip...

Low pressure side has no condensation on the pipe at all. Both pipes from the bulkhead (from the evaporator) are warm to the touch. The hissing only started after I tried to recharge the system with a can from Halfords! As you say low pressure should trigger a response from the...

Still not fixed this yet!! There is still a hissing noise in the cabin but is it a leak??? If the system leaks out completely, doesn't the 'book o death' appear on the HeVac panel! Shouldn't the compressor clutch cut out to save the pump?? Could an obstruction cause the air to accelerate past...

Had an idea that might be the case!!;) FYI Never a good idea to have your reg showing on the tinterweb, though! Two many scum sucking pond filth out there stealing cars and cloning number plates!! You'll be getting a speeding ticket from 400miles away, or armed police kicking your door in...

How many Rangies do you own?? Two reg plates on the same car?? Hello, Officer I'd like to report......:)

Strange that you should mention the random pulling to the left...my 1998 Rangie does that as well....have you got larger alloy wheels fitted?? Just looking for a possible link! Any ideas anyone??

I'm so chirpy today, I woke the birds up in this morning with my singing!!:D :D Thanks for the concern Slob.:)

Yes the MPG swayed me as well:) ......although all the V8 LPG converted owners will argue that the cost of that 12-18 mpg is halved using LPG!! (LPG conversion £1500 - £2000 LPG per litre 46.4p £2.10 p/gl 11.5-17.5 pence per mile @ 18-12 MPG) LPG is not widely available, especially in some rural...
