Hi Diddypud. I think you're right. All the way along it's seemed like lack of fuel, but it had me fooled because of all the things I'd changed, thus leaving me thinking it was possibly electrical. This morning it was the same story, until I'd left the pump running for a good 5 minutes before...

Thanks mate, but battery is great, but even a good battery only has so many engine turns in it. Air filter was changed at last service about 8 months since. Engine start is a good idea though but too late to get some before tomoz morning. Keep idea's coming though, all gratefully received. I'm...

Hi Chaps. Yet another TD4 problem. New LP fuel pump, new fuel filter, Injection pump just a year old. Used to start first or second time, any time. Now suddenly the b***ard just wont start from cold. Once started, and run a few minutes, it starts first time. This morning I actually...

Hi. Check out my website. Andy.

I wouldn't touch fu@K all from ****part!!!!!!!!!!!:mad2:

Have you looked at the vcu mounting bearings? Not just the bearings though, check the rubber surrounds that hold the bearings, these get knackered and allow the whole vcu to move. I proved this on mine by laying at the drivers side and placing a foot on the side of the vcu, and pushing sideways...

The bugger did it again, so here's the culprit, An effin Britpart (****part) fuel filter that's collapsed. (see photo's). Lesson learned....NEVER EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM ****PART!

Don't know for certain, but I'd be surprised if they are imperial.

So are we. Please explain a little more about what you did with the pipes, as if fuel is delivered into the Injection pump supply pipe, it will run through it and return to tank via return pipe, so not quite sure what your getting at.

High pressure regulator (on end of HP pump), or if your lucks as good as mine, HP pump. :eek:

Some pics (Thanks Vagrent for the info)

Hi Bruce! Nice to hear from you, hope you and yours are all OK. :) Yes going OK at the mo, although I'm struggling to find a proper pipe union to join up the cut pipe, I turned a temp one out of 6mm brass rod but jubilee clips on something so small aren't the best. I'm trying to source a...

OK, so part arrived at 13:15. had a quick look,and it's the same make as original except made in Poland instead of Germany. Hmmm! Anyway, fitted it and guess what?................Just the bloody same :mad2: So that's £130 ish quid and not solved. So what next I thought. Start at engine end and...

Have checked around for that's the very thought I had initially, but everything seems fine. It's 11am now, and the part still hasn't arrived yet. :mad2:

Hi mate. Checked filter which is fairly new anyway. Passes loads of fuel, just doesn't seem to get to front of car. Strange thing is there's virtually zero information on the under wing gubbins on the whole internet, apart from what people have uploaded themselves. No proper fuel layout diagrams...

OK chaps, I'm convinced. I've ordered a new pump. £131.60 (genuine LR) I'll fit it tomorrow so fingers crossed that's the problem, or I'll be really ****ed. :mad:

Think it's OK Rasher, the fuel came out the filter no probs, but just isn't getting to the HP pump.

Hi Chaps. Drove car fine on Saturday with no problems. Car not run on Sunday. Today I needed a trip to the local tip to get rid of some junk. Car started fine as normal, but half a mile out, I felt a loss of power and when giving a bit of throttle it held back and the mil light came on until...

I had a similar thing once. It turned out to be the discs. Even though they looked perfectly OK, it was poor quality cast iron that the discs were made of that was causing it. Sometimes finding the cheapest new discs doesn't pay. You may also notice there's a lot more brake dust thrown out...
