Both on the turn of the key and manually using the “pump arm”

Step 1, no “squib” from the lift pump. 👍👍

Cheers @miktdish - I know where all these parts are. I will take a look at this tomorrow or Saturday when I have a free morning. 🫡

Only thinking during the diagnosis process @miktdish rather than waiting on a part.

I am also confirmed to be getting a click on the solenoid when power is applied.

I've confirmed power is going to this. Any way to bypass it to rule it in or out of the tests?

Adding a thread here for a way to log progress and hopefully help others in future. My 91 Defender 200TDI (which I now have learned contains a Disco engine) is failing to start after I've replaced the steering shaft and radiator - doing the first job caused me to break the radiator for anyone...

Something in and around here @Anaconda ?

Cheers. Learn something new about this bloody thing every day. Now need to work out why it won’t start after I’ve changed the radiator per the workshop manual. Turns over but won’t start. Air in fuel? Some wire come loose somewhere? 😣😣

Fitting new radiator along with new hoses. My thinking was the blue ones give me a clue in future which ones have already been done 😂 However, a couple of the hoses don’t match. The set I’ve bought are definitely Defender hoses (according to the part #), and I’m now suspecting I have some...

Can this be done with wheels on the ground or do they need lifting?

More like the play is in the “box” that the steering shaft goes into near the front of the vehicle.

Ended up using a combination of the angle grinder, cutting disk, lump hammer and crowbar to get the bloody thing out.

I did notice I get about 90 degrees of play at this point (steering box?) with the wheels on the ground. Is this expected or does something need tightening?

New cutting disk to the rescue.

Great info thanks guys. I didn’t have my jack available so solved it by just rolling the 90 forward and back. Front prop was much easier than rear.

I’m probably being very stupid here but should I be able to manually spin the prop shaft (to remove bolts) with the handbrake off, 90 in neural and diff lock on N?

Just pulled up to the shops on a hill and nearly ended up at the bottom 😂
