Sorry I'm not posting with a helpful answer, but I'm dead keen to learn if you make any progress with this, because I think I've got a similar issue. Mine feels very much like air in the fuel. I've just had a new cylinder head (and most of the engine internals replaced) and my symptom is that...

Hi Guys Slight improvement today. I've videod the cold start this time as well Discovery TD5 cold start, slight improvement - YouTube Definitely seems to be getting better. Perhaps the air lock is eventually working itself around the system and out of the bleed? I've got to do a 600mile round...

I'll give that a go John. I have tried it all kinds of speeds, fast, slow, doesn't appear to have much of an effect. Will video again tomorrow and see how we get on. i think as has already been suggested, might need to install / improvise a fuel pressure gauge to give a more accurate picture of...

Evening guys. Well, unfortunately as suspected, similar result again this morning. Cold start, lots of cranking, and then when you floor the throttle (whilst its cranking) it slowly coughs and splutters into life, and eventually starts and it fine. Drove it to work (8miles) and when I stopped...

OK thanks for the tip John I'll try it again in the morning. I did press it a fair few times, at each attempt - definitely 5, maybe 7 or 8 but definitely no MIL flashing. I really want this to work, because it sounds like it's fixed everyone's previous problems with cold starting and air in...

Sierra / John Thanks for your posts guys. I'm inclined to believe you, as you say an airlock would be the most obvious suggestion. Wonder if I could just pick your brains further? I'm having trouble with the 5 pedal press bleed system though - I did read somewhere that the very earliest models...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. @hodgy - unfortunately the TD5 is a completely different injection philosophy and doesn't have leak-off pipes as the fuel runs inside a casting in the head. Thank you for posting though. @sierra - yes you were spot on, and thanks for the link that's very...

Thanks Jamie - I'll give you a call later today.

Wow. Does indeed look like just what I'm after! How much do you want and where are you based?

Hi Chris. Yes please! Please email them to me, and let me know where you are roughly, and how much you want for it. Thanks! Steve

Hi Guys I'm looking for some sort of Expedition roof rack or roof tray/basket to go on the back part of my D2 TD5. I've got a roof tent which will go on the standard fit bars at the front, but wanted a "mini" roof rack with gutter mounts to occupy the back half of the roof. Considering that...

Forgot to mention that it's a 1999 TD5 Auto.

Hi Guys Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I've been reading this with great interest now for a few days. You might well know that I've had a very poorly TD5, but it's now all fixed, and has set me back a small fortune as a cracked head and piston lube jet falling off meant I've had to have...

All good points chaps - interesting reading indeed. As you've both mentioned opinion is split/divided on whether reworking TD5 internal components is advisable/economical/realistic etc. In my case I'm certainly trying to avoid that at all costs. Brand new AMC head is on order, picked up some...

Might be pushing it a bit, but food for thought nonetheless: when the ACE pump pulley sheared off, it took the belt with it, and therefore knocked out the water pump, alternator, vac pump, steering etc. Was doing 60mph on a dual carriageway at the time and couldn't stop safely for about a...

I'm just going through the same painful experience with mine now Only had the car a month, and the ACE pump self destructed, had to replace 2 rear ACE pipes, turbo went, FPR, and then the dreaded sump filling itself with diesel. After trying the injector seals I've relented and bought a new...

Wow that is cheap - thanks for the tip. Will try them in future. Perhaps didn't specify though but the price for the reconned turbo inc delivery and all gaskets and fastenings was £325+vat. The rest went on oil, filters x 2, a sump gasket, the oil pump bolt etc. So that's what made up the £450...

Thanks for all the positive comments guys :) I think you're absolutely right - this particular garage (who shall remain nameless) knew absolutely nothing about Landies. In the end, I only managed a marginally better result than buying from a private trader I guess (getting the ACE pump paid...

Apologies - if it causes offence I can take out references to 3rd parties and suppliers? No affiliation or preferences are expressed to anyone!

lol that's a fair comment. I have the same issue, some people just sign up to litter the site with cheap plugs. Quite understand! Like I said, big fan of LZ, it's always the top search result when you enter "XYZ Land Rover Problem" into google anyway :clap2:
