Fellow Land Rover Series owners,
I recently purchased a long awaited LR Series 3 1979 SWB. She's a beauty, but now running. Initially, everything went great. However, yesterday, I ran out of Diesel. After topping up and refilling at the gas station , the car felt like it was running out of power as I changed gears. After 10 mins or so, it stalled. Started it up and ran. This continued for 15 - 20 mins with everytime it stalled it would become more difficult to re-start. Now, she turns over fine, but very difficult for start up. If she does start up, she runs very badly then looses power and dies. I mixed in some injector cleaner in case there is any gunk in the system. Before I start to take things apart, I wanted to get some ideas on where to start first, if anyone has any thoughts.
I am very grateful for any insight.
