Hi folks Thanks for the replies. No rubber boot fitted si it isn't that. I'll pick up a new ball and spring later this week and try it and let you know. Fingers crossed Thanks again Dave

Hi there From the sounds of it you've had the injectors out of the head so its more than likely you've either got a duff injector, air trapped in it or missing a blast washer. Start it up and let it warm up a few seconds. Using a wet cloth touch each pipe of the exhaust before it joins the...

Hi there If you've disconnected the fuel supply its very probably got air in the fuel lines and no matter how many times you pump and bleed it will be a pig to start. I spent weeks trying and nearly killed my wrist and the battery doing it. After weeks of trying i opted for a very simple...

Hi folks I hope there's someone out there who knows a simple cure for an annoying problem. My HI / LOW lever on my S3 transfer box keeps jumping out of high ratio and into a neutral between hi and low ratio. It doesn't jump out of low box, only HI so if I'm on the road its jumping out.:doh: I...

Hi there Had similar problems last year and kept on bleeding for weeks and nearly killed my battery and still it wouldn't start. Wrongly assumed it was the pump too. Getting air out is a BA#*~#D. Save yourself lots of time and effort and get a friend to tow you around for 5 mins with a decent...

If the engine fires up when you bump start it you can probably rule out a fuel supply problem. SO......... Your glow plugs could very well be tired. Even if they get 12V, if the tip doesn't glow red hot it won't fire up. Mine started to glow mid length so were useless. A set should only set...

Hi there Start simple and check all the fuses first. If you've got a multimeter check for continuity on ALL fuses. If you fit a radio make sure it has an inline fuse. Always attatch speaker wires directly to the radio. Sometimes radios use red and black wires for speaker wire colours. Some use...

Its fixed. You are an absolute genius. Who'd have thought that a 10p washer would cause such a problem. I went to bleed the lines and noticed that i had a dribble of fuel at the splitter banjo on the output from the lift pump so quickly swapped the line with spare pipe i had and tried...

Hi there Got new washers fitted but went to try and start it and found that air had got in the fuel lines cos I'd left the injector off and it won't fire up. Ringing my mate to come round and tow start me to bleed the lines again. Then we'll see if its cured it Nothing is ever easy in my...

Thanks for that. I'm not sure if i replaced the inner washer but did change the larger copper ones. I'm gonna nip out first thing monday and buy a new set, stick them in and give it a try. Its not something i would even have considered. Cheers for the heads up and I'll let you know how i got...

running on 3 cylinders Hi folks can anyone help out. I own a lightweight with a 2.5 NA diesel (early defender engine) which will only fire up on 3 cylinders. Here's some recent history. The head gasket blew some time back so had head checked and found to be cracked. Bit the bullet and did...
