Hi All
stopped the old girl one night a month ago next day she wouldn't start,
checked the glow plugs ok
found the fix with thanks to Wammers
changed the fuel lift pump
defo got fuel as air bubbles in fuel line have gone, though have not performed the 180ml in time test yet
but she still wont start
pretty sure pipes went back on same way to pump
any clues please

BeCM to Engine ECU sync issue??

ovalandrover · Oct 7, 2017

Have you tried easy start to see if it will fire up and see if its a fuel related problem or compression or glow plug problem?

Deodorant is a little less aggressive then easy start and works just as well.

does it work on petrol?

checked the plug to pump it has power, when switch ignition on but 0 from pump presume pump is cattled even though a new one.
will say committed a cardinal sin, it was just a cheapy from fleabay its only going to be sold to good to be scrapped in my eyes

Check the Technical Section. Wammers did a hot to on how to test the pump by bridging the relay. If that delivers fuel then it isn't the lift pump.

There's an emergency stop button behind the kick panel on the driver's side. Check that too.

Are the glows coming on and have you tested they are working well?

Doubt the FIP would just fail catastrophically but might be wrong. Should be self-priming but if there is loads of air you could try loosening the pipes at each injector 1 by 1 until fuel spills out to bleed any air out.

I had a 2.5 that just wouldn’t fire unless it had really good quality glow plugs in it. It would literally crank for 5 minutes and not go. I was conscious that I was killing the starter I was cranking it for so long. Cheap glow plugs turned out to be a very very bad purchase. They lasted less than 6 weeks and were the last thing I considered.
