Td5 110 no start

Start by checking the red ecu plug (under drivers seat) for oil coming from the injector harness, pins 1, 24, 25, 26 and 27. It is a common problem but easy to change the harness if there is oil at the plug.

Hello,
I have a td5 110 2001.
All of the sudden it would take longer than usual to start .. and in about 15 minutes of driving i felt it lost power but it was still ideling until it stopped. Managed to start again after holding the start for a while , only to drive a further 200 meters and it stopped.
I have changed the oil filter, the one way valves on the filter housing . Have checked the fuel pressure at the fuel pressure regulator sensor and it was showing 3.8 bar .
Have tried my lynx diagnostic for the first time , and the only thing I can see is in the foultcodes and it says
3141 driver demand has been faulty .
I am new to the defender and I have had it for a year ... would appreciate anyone who can guied me thru .
Thanks .

I don't think there is any way you can check your ecu unless you have a compatible diagnostic tool like a Nanicom or Hawkeye. You can take it out and open it up to see if any oil has got inside and clean it up, of course the oil may not be the problem, it usually causes engine stuttering, poor running before failing to start, it depends how much oil you have in there. So the best action is a diagnostic check anyway, which can save a lot of money by preventing changing things only to find it was not that and changing something else and still not solving the problem.
