It runs lovely most of the time and this has only happened twice with 10 days happy motoring in between

The pump makes a noise like an air compressor starting up only quieter. I don’t know the purge procedure but I’ll google it. Thanks for the help! Kind of miss my old 300tdi a little bit. That was so easy to fix

Hello all, I have come over to the world of disco from the land of defender. Just bought a 1999 disco 2 after selling my beloved defender after 12 good years of owning it. So after 3 weeks of owning it it has started to go wrong, so at least it’s a proper Land Rover. Every now and again it will...

They plug into the existing little white plug blocks. How can I change the +&- ? It's odd that the ref lights work, side,full and breaks but none of the others do. I fitted the relay supplied behind the metal plate blow the fuse box. Don't know what else I can do

No it's a kit from bearmach, every light except main headlamps. Says on the instructions just plug in to original plugs, change the flasher relay and off you go. Out of 8 lamps only the two red ones at the rear work

Hello again, Yet more problems. Fitted a set of bearmach led lights today and only the back lights (break light) work. The indicators go tick tick as normal but only the original little side lights work? Not one indication and neither of the front side lights work. It's a defender obviously...

It's alive! Started first time! Thanks again for all the help

no, sorry can't see the pics. going to attack it again first thing. thanks

Thanks to to all for your help. we shall see in the morning if its cured.

didn't find the wire thing. not really sure what I'm looking for. Recon you need to be a mechanic to own these things!

ok so i checked the pipes going to the lift pump and the pipe from the filter was in the top and the pipe going from the tank on the bottom pipe. i swapped them over then undid the bleed screw and pumped until the air stopped and fuel pis**d out. does this sound right?? won't know until tomorrow...

whilst the pipes were out of the tank, I turned the engine a couple of times to fit the lift pump; is it possible that there is a bucket of air in the system? When I first tried to jump start it (the battery was flat), it did start up. it was lumpy and spluttery but it ran. for a minute or so...

or could it be the pipes on the lift pump are mixed up? I really should learn to stop doing things myself

oh so maybe I put the pipe in the tank wrong?

Ok so when i operate the lift pump handle I can hear fluid being pushed around but I can't see the wire.

thank you so much,i'm off to take a look now

and yes its a 300 tdi sorry

where is this wire? and how do you know if the pump is on the cam?

Hello, This is a desperate plea for help! I have a leek in my fuel tank on my defender and so have to change it. I took all the bits off, pipes etc, in order remove it. Obviously the nuts were seized solid so i need to get it to a garage . Trouble is, it won't start now. I put everything back...

thanks for all the advice. ill get a new stat and see what happens
