Good news! Follow the other guys advice too. New loom is a great idea and draining the ecu is brilliant idea.. I clean red plug out every Sunday haha

Unscrew the coupler at the FPR a little bit.. crank the engine over and see if diesel sprays out for the coupler. If it does I would remove the large hose from the inlet manifold and spray some brake cleaner in there while someone turns the engine over.. This will help if the system is air...

Fixed! Fuel pump was the problem. There's a massive difference in the sound level between the old on and the new one when running. Thanks

Yes checked the ecu red plug and the loom top plug has had a good spray out numerous times while the car has been off the road. Well non the less I definitely need a fuel pump. Hope fully this fixes it and if not it's back on the diagnostics to read crank speed Sierra. And Thankyou for all your...

Issue is almost fixed now... I defiantly got the wrong idea of this. The only stream coming out of the bung was the filter loosing the diesel it had in there, I didn't leave the bung off long enough. Despite me hearing the fuel pump running, it wasn't pumping anything. Well worth the try, the...

I've seen nanocom on ebay and £350+ and on nanocom website at £260... They both seem the same as each other. Why the price difference?

In my opinion, injector seals are the problem in the morning. Had the same with mine and was recommended that it was those. Have you checked for oil at the ecu red plug? When the car stalled and wouldn't start was the engine turning over?

R & E Arnett limited, Doncaster 01302323931 These guys should be right up your street

Good idea.. anyone who reads this who is in Doncaster area with a tester. Give me a message, don't mind paying at all. Does it sound like the cylinders could be flooded at the min?

OK so here's the latest.. I swapped the relays, still no joy. All plugs are connected. Re checked the injectors gap was set correctly, battery charged and voltage OK. I'm still waiting on a starter motor. But this evening I filled the tank to half way and purged the system. It's been purged...

Thankyou gents. I'm looking into it now

I know it's been asked before, but can't find any links that work. I'm looking for the copy that covers td5 in depth. Apparently I only have the USA version ?? Damn rednecks

Short circuit on the mode switch wiring somewhere. Maybe a bad earth

The plug looks like some sort of oil drain or an inspection hole, for instance if something in there has a timing mark on it. The disco 2 td5 has holes in the bell housing where it joins to the sump. Any water ingress should drain out if it's at the bottom. Was it just a bit a bit of surface...

I won't be bump starting it.. So we are heading in the starter/crank direction. Even with some combustible spray in the air intake, it still never tried to fire. So we are looking deeper into the mystical td5 engine.. If the fuel is there, the starter is turning over like Billy oh, we might have...

Sounds like you have had fun. Congrats on all the bolts coming out in one piece. Mine tend to break haha

Consider it done, tomorrow evening I will check this one out. In the meantime, battery is charging (again)

The crank sensor should be good. The car only broke down due to alternator failure. Been stood for about 4 weeks now. Before that the only problems were that it was a bugger to start on cold mornings unless I purged the system. So it's hard to relate with the issue being else where to the areas...

Let's just try a starter.. used on ebay £40 ish. I can live with that. Thankyou very much for all your comments gents. Please keep an eye on this thread and I will post some more amateur mechanics dribble soon!!

I would say this is how it is James.. I had a new fuel pump about 18 month ago
