Thanks Guys, will try but on looking last night it seems very hard, age on plastic I suspect. Will try to disconnect it as there are reachable clips either side of the kink and use hot water to soften it. It is a theory why I cant start the car easily and the garage just failed to fix at a...

Anyone know what this small/narrow pipe does it is next to the filler pipe that goes into the tank on a TD5. I assume it is there for a reason but is kinked flat which in theory is stopping it doing what it should do. I have just been charged £500 for new fuel pump to fix starting...

On the contrary, I have owned 6 Disco's now the current one from new, a 2001 TD5 85,000 on the clock. Apart from standard service fees just about to pay my first mechanical expense of £300 for a new fuel pump. None of the others gave me a bit of trouble either. Guess I am just one in a...

I have the remote...AND live in Switzerland. Where are you, be good meet an English Speaking Landy owner out here. Anyway, I bought the remote after the car, It was expensive for a small plastic chunk of electrics that probably cost £5 to manufacture, but it is good and in answer to...

Thanks again and sorry to ask yet another favour. But how does it come off. There is a connector (electric) on the bottom which I understand is the water sensor and when I unclipped that the connector itself was full of diesel confirming that was ok (I think). That removed, the filter unit...

Thanks guys and Ok, for benefit of others on this forum it appears to be the fuel pump is underperforming, I have had it checked and am informed it is well under pressure. It is also related to my other post concerning a loud whining noise - this is also the fuel pump as I discovered last...

Thanks friend. I have since confirmed this too by removing the fuel pump fuse and hey presto, no noise. Put the fuse back and she squeals like a pig. Seems it is also related to my other post concerning starting problems as I have had the pump checked and apparently it is well under pressure...

Ha, welcome, why cant I find someone like you as an activities buddy? I am a TD5 owner, hiker/backpacker, kayaker, mountain biker and have recently moved from the UK to Switzerland in search more fun with my hobbies! Simon Born to Play!

Guys this sounds good common sense stuff to me. Logical, and as you just observed, there could be a clear connection between this and my other post concerning the whining noise prior to starting so it clearly could be fuel pump related. Thanks for the pointers but other feedback also greatly...

What is the loud whine I hear when I turn on the ignition prior to turning the engine over. Sounds like a pump of some form but has progressively got louder over the past months and now sounds like it is struggling to do whatever it is doing. Just need my mind put at rest from you enthusiasts...

Oh my baby is ill. Frustrating because I cannot work out a definate pattern yet. Symptoms are; She does not like starting the first time I try on a new day. Can take a lot of turns or continuous turning until she eventually fires. Once started she can happily be stoppped and restrated with...
