just fitted a new fuel pump to my 2001 td5 disco because the old one whined like a tomcat . i sat and purged it for 20 mins but it still makes a hell of a noise any ideas please im getting p---ed of now thanks arv
 
I'm no expert - far from it - but this is from the Rave manual:

Fuel system purging
19.50.07
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, or the fuel level is so
low that the fuel system draws air into the fuel rail,
the fuel rail will need to be purged before the engine
will start. This can be achieved by following the
procedure below.
If this procedure is carried out on a vehicle that
has not run out of fuel or otherwise drawn air into
the fuel rail, it can lead to the engine flooding and
failing to start.
Purge
1. Turn the ignition switch off and wait 15
seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to position II and wait 3
minutes (this ensures that the fuel system
purges all the air from the fuel rail within the
cylinder head).
3. Fully depress the throttle pedal.
4. Keeping the throttle pedal fully depressed,
crank the engine.
5. As soon as engine speed exceeds 600 rev/min,
release the throttle pedal and the ignition
switch.The engine must not be cranked
continuously for more than 30 seconds at
any one time.
6. If the engine fails to start, repeat the above
procedure.​

Hope this helps
 
I had the same problem with my td5

turn the ignition on wait for about 30 seconds until pump stops purging press the accelerator 6 times (fully down and back up) try and start the engine but dont let it crank over too long as you risk burning out the starter
you may have to repeat this 3 or 4 times

hope this helps
 
thanks all i haven/t got a problem starting and it runs fine it just keeps whining , could it still be sucking air som ewhere? thanks again. arv
