I fixed it! Drained the tank (well, most of it, like to save the pennies) refilled it with good quality diesel, changed the fuel filter. Runs like a dream again now. Thanks guys. To stop this happening in future. I think I'm gonna get busy with the RTV sealant, all over the drivers seatbox...

Thats funny, I'm looking for something like that atm!

Regards smoke not coming from the exhaust when its cranking over, it never has done, sorry, should of made that clear.

Replies are in bold. Sorry for the very unuseful replies. As I said I'm very new to this. Its now started after 5 minutes of preheating, by the way.

Could it be (I think they're called) heater coils? As I understand it the glow plugs heat the heater coils for starting. If preheating the engine works, then could it be that the heater coils aren't working properly?

Water on the floor in the front seating area, rear seating area and rear load area. It was just the area we got stuck in where it was only axle deep. It seems to be a glow plug problem, I think they may of gotten very wet. As the engine will start with about 20 minutes of pre-heating and will...

Bit of an update. Just had a look under the drivers seat at the ECU, its filled with water at the bottom of the compartment, but none actually at ECU level. I don't think it would be the ECU as it was running after we got it out the water, it is turning over and all other systems are working...

Well, last night I got a little stupid and decided to take my landy through a small (but very deep) pond. I ended up getting stuck just as I was pulling out the pond. Water was around axle depth here. Engine cut out and would not start. So I winched it a few metres with the highlift up a hill...

I'm also up for a trip out with you at some point. It's been nearly two weeks since I've been laning! Free...well...all the time! So give me a shout.

Shown it off at a sailing club, made £70 towing their boats out the water, as the rain the other day flooded the (grass) slipway and everyone was getting stuck!

I went down it in a standard 110 defender. There was also a standard discovery 2 (I think, 2 or 1) with us. No problems if you choose the right line. The first few times I'd try and go with someone thats been before to help you. The lines not that obvious, or at least it wasn't to me.

2 bungees behind the bulkhead?

Double rear wheel carrier?

Tried to fit an airhorn. Cocked up massively and somethings wrong with the positive connection between my switch and relay. So now I have to take apart my dash again and try and find whats wrong with it :(

Halfords pro where I am are currently doing big sale prices on they're pro-ranges. I got a 120 piece set with £80 off!

Had someone come and give me a gobful through my (obviously open) window before. Something about polluting the atmosphere and taking up too much of the road...he wasn't even driving! Solution? I closed the window...

Well...from yesteryday...I fitted my new winch :P But either tommorrow or Monday I need to: Refit the spots Fit the airhorn Fit my new tyres

Bit rusty, but its hard to tell whether its surface rust or otherwise. However, on the third pic it looks like theres a crack in chassis, just next to the side step, but that could just be a trick of the lighting. Theres my (unexperienced) views.

I'd be up for some laning! Don't worry about been shiny, I'm still on the gentle stuff!

Got a set of General Grabber AT2s going if you're still looking Hammy. Reasonable amount of tread on em. And boost alloys to boot! 235/85/R16. 5. Spare never touched the road.
