Your not wrong - doesn't seem quite right if it was working before. but i guess it could go anytime, maybe a coincidence

Looking for a recommended LR Defender Mechanic in or around Yeovil, The main dealer prices are insane, quoted £518 today to change Injector Seals! Got a few issues I want looking at, My knowledge is fairly limited and my time even more so atm.

Quick question; If I did have a naff battery would I still be able to start it using a jump start from jump start pack rated to 3ltr engines? My engeneering collegue at work said I wouldnt be able to start it becuase the prime battery would essentially absorb the power of the jump pack thus...

Cheers for that gents, If the battery doesnt help i'll look at that next. I emailed LR garage in Yeovil to ask how much to change the Injector Seals - I could laugh, quoted me £38 Parts (fair enough) but 3 hours labour £360 + Diagnostics £120 total price to just change the Injector Seals...

Cheers davcud, I have re-posted the problem in the right section now :)

I have read about this before when trying to fix the starting issue on mine. Someone mentioned that the TD5 will continue to drive even without a working fuel pump. It could be yours is on the way out / gone, especially if you can no longer hear the usual whine.

Cheer for that Mike, It's more difficult that I imagined trying to decifer problems on the TD5.

I'm going to check the above but does anyone think it could be injector seal? and if so are they difficult to change without an puller

I like the idea of having the option to isolate one battery to power lights etc for a campsite then switching to the starter battery. Possible a Red & Yellow top Optima - but then i'd need to install a split charge system which I have never done! That said this is only a desired luxury, I'd...

Morning Folks, I need to fit a new battery! but I dislike doing things twice and I want to put something inside big enough to cope with all the usual demands. So the question is can I install a single Odyssey 2150 into a stock 1999 TD5 Defender without upgrading any other components? Or...

Awesome guys; This is all great info; thank you all for your help, I've got a new Battery on order, if that doesn't cure it, ill open up the ECU. Nobody thinks its the injector seals then?? on another note; I might stick a chipped ECU in her from EBay anyone got any thoughts on this...

I'll give it a try - I didn't think oil would be able in ingress inside the actual ECU - If it is "infected" will it be a new ECU. I was contemplating a new "Chipped" plug and play ECU from Ebay. Also a couple of people have suggested a new battery? although I have tried starting with a jump...

Cheers, I was unsure - I've also posted in the suggested section. Regards Tom

Cheers bud, I have an Odesey on order.

Aaaagggggghhhh Just Start! The story thus far; Before X-mas had minor starting problems, it would start then die three sec later, but it would always go again almost straight after. Problem got worse, I left the car for 48hrs at work, it started then 3 secs later died, I tried the purge...

Any suggestions greatly appreciated - even a recommended LR mechanic near Yeovil :confused:

Cleaned out the ECU of Oil!! Fitted new Injector Harness & New Fuel Filter - Still wont start - New Battery 2Moz. Thinking about an Odesey Battery?:confused:

Cheers Biggeeee, Any Idea's welcome, the other thing I forgot to ask is; could it be the battery?

Afternoon All, Thought I'd try on here for a little advice, I am a novice to both LR & Mechanics. The story thus far; Before X-mas had minor starting problems, it would start then die three sec later, but it would always go again almost straight after. (seemed to be when low on fuel...
