Hmm well, i bought a new flexi pipe but haven't been able to free the upper connection and dont want to risk breaking the copper line, so I'm just gonna blast it with cleaner every few days to try and get it clean and loosen it up. meanwhile, I tested the old slaves nipple, still a leak so not...

they appear fine, and screwed into both the old and new slave perfectly fine from what I can tell. If I can find the rubber from the old slave, I'll refit that and see if it leaks or not. Perhaps for the sake of £10 I should also buy a new flexi pipe so that I can test/rule that out?

Hello my clutch master cylinder died recently, managed to get a new one fitted along with the slave, but I can't seem to get a proper seal. When the pedal is depressed I get drips from the flexi pipe where it goes into the slave cylinder, or *maybe* the bleed nipple but its almost impossible to...

Ah thanks very much for the reply :) I had previously bypassed the spider (also also resoldered a few dry-joints it had for good measure) and everything had been good for about 10 years. I've since made up a sort of bypass cable with a switch that I take with me when I go out (so not actually...

TLDR, feel free to skip ahead... Havent had any issues for several years. Then a month or so ago took my nephew to go to shops, several times we stopped and he stayed in the landy while I went and did stuff. Always took keys with me. Then the final time, right after picking up fish and chips...

Ah ok, cheers for ruling that one out. I've found a solid white wire that goes to the glow plug relay, if that has the same functionality I might take off from that. I'll try following it backwards a bit though and see if it branches off.

If it was originally fitted with an EGR, would that change anything with the white wire? Been doing a lot of reading online and found a mention of the 3 wires for the EGR also powering the shut off solenoid, so since a previous owner has removed the EGR might it explain why I can't find the wire...

Edit: managed to unwrap a bit of the other part of the loom, no white wire in there either.

Cheers, spent ages looking but not found anything matching that description. Where the loom comes into the engine bay it's split into a couple of wrapped sections of wire, I've managed to unwrap one of them a little but no white wire. Not sure if it's likely to be in the other wrapped section...

Additionally, from all my reading up and looking at wiring diagrams everything suggests my shut off solenoid should be connected directly from the ignition via a white wire. Well I don't know where mine went to, but I think it was to one of these two green wires that appear to run into the back...

Ah that actually makes sense, explains a bit as to how some peoples goes on for ages without the lift pump and no problem, yet some have immediate problems. cheers :) Well I've been out today with the multimeter and done alot of testing. The wire I had run directly from the battery had a 30a...

Well it started up! Even got a round of appause from the neighbours and 2 different cars stopped to congratulate me on getting it going again. I reconnected everything as normal, cranked the engine a bit with the fuel filter bleed open just to get a bit of fuel through. Then I removed the shut...

I'm pretty sure I did when I had the multimeter out. Also battery is in great condition and wire to solenoid is directly from battery (bypassing the ignition) to make certain. I'll add removing the plunger and spring from solenoid to my list though just to 100% rule it out. I can't find any...

Thats what I've done in the 1st video, the pipes to the first 2 cylinders are undone but no fuel comes out when cranked. Not even a dribble of fuel :(

I dont think its the shut off solenoid as when this first happened I replaced it (with only a few hundred miles use) with a brand new unit, I also ran a new live wire straight from the battery to the solenoid to ensure it had a good feed. I've also tested it while removed and it functioned...

Alright then, went out today to give it a test. So fuel filter disconnected with the line that comes from the lift pump going into a bottle (to the the fuel spurting everywhere) and the line that runs to the Fuel Injection Pump going straight into a fresh container of diesel fuel. Unfortunatly...

Sorry for not replying for like a month, managed to get to the point where I can work on the landy again. Been having a right faff on trying to get pipes to run to fuel can with them being rigid and loopy tubes, along with them having banjo connectors. soaked them (with the ends sticking out) in...

Sorry for abandoning this, had a rough few months and only just getting my life sorted out again, everything's been a bit of a mess! Finally got around to doing a little work on it today, I think I've narrowed it down to the fuel injection pump. I tried cranking the engine with the fuel pipe...

I have not checked the FIP, I'll add that to my list for when I'm next out. Fuel line still hasn't turned up for my to test with a can of fuel. I couldn't find a battery charger, so gonna borrow one tomorrow. I did go back out though to have another look at things. Took both lines off the fuel...

Aye sorry I've been a bit slow with it, been sick for about a month so can't always go out and work on it, also trying to buy a house at the mo so spending alot of time doing paperwork. Enough excuses though, went out today and had another go at it. Cracked the injector at the front of the...
