I would check the fuel pump, mine lacked power and then failed to start after cutting out, did all the usual checks then ended up at the pump, mine looked like this when i removed it, cleaned it, replaced it and now runs fine.

This problem screams of the pedal potentiometer, i would check that the plug is seated correctly, make sure the wiring is not damaged in any way, if that fails then your only option is Nanocom as advised in earlier post, The only other option i can think of is the MAF sensor as a friend of mine...

I have a 1999 TD5 and up to now the chassis looks all good, gonna get under and treat inside and out after my holidays in the next few weeks, but looking at some of the horror stories on this particular model of chassis, me thinks its time to learn how to mig weld properly, done a bit but more...

Already looking into the "DIESEL BUG" theory, i go away in 2 weeks with the caravan, as soon as i get back its tank off, drain, clean out with some petrol, filter the fuel and then replace with the additive to make sure its all gone, just need to keep the tank above 1/4 untill i get round to...

Yeah i checked and it is to GL5 standard so all should be good, thanks for the reassurance lads.

Nice one, job for the weekend then

Hi, it says in rave to use 75w/90 multigear oil, my question is a have a load of spare 80w/90 multigear oil would you think it would make that much of a difference if i used this instead??

I'm no connoisseur of discoveries ( only had one for 4 weeks....LOL) and i don't want to call anybody a liar but i just took a look at it ( also advertised on autotrader) and you have to ask yourself why it has a TD5 badge on the back instead of the metropolis badge??? take a look at the trader...

That's a bit drastic, you still have to get the remains off, i find a pair of grips with a little wd40 first helps every time, but if it works for you

Invest in a mirror on a telescopic wand, they are invaluable on a car like these.

Just checked out AutoData and under the known fixes it states " Battery Discharged" Cause; Instrument panel does not switch to sleep mode due to software fault. Remedy; Re-program instrument panel with upgraded software. Refer to manufacturer. it affects LR3 from VIN 8A442165 and...

According to AutoData the glowplugs have a nominal rating V/A 12, and a activation time of 8 seconds. If i'm right this means they are 12 volts and they run for 8 seconds before the relay cuts the power. If your glowplug light is coming on for around 8 seconds and the car starts first time...

You could also check out the inner wing vents(think that's what you would call them), usually found behind the panels in the boot area, if one of these is open it could be getting in through there, you could always seal the one on the same side of the exhaust outlet with gaffa tape, they just...

Well guys its up and running, cleaned the injector loom and still not starting, so decided to tackle the fuel filter and pump, fuel filter looked clean and new, the pump was working but fuel flow was slow so took it out and found what can only be described as the monster from the black lagoon...

Just been out listening to the fuel pump again, you can here it running for about 30-40 seconds and when it stops you can here what i can only describe as fuel trickling back into the tank, is this normal???

Something tells me that you would need the actuator working to send the correct signals through the system, i may be wrong but as its not working it does seem logical.

Wynn's professional electrical contact cleaner, bought from local autospares, says on the can its safe for ECU's

easiest way to test a glow plug is take a set of jump leads and put Negative to the outside of the plug and Positive to the tip where the wire would go, they should glow within 3 or 4 seconds, do not touch they ends once they have glowed as they stay hot for a long time and it will take your...
