Disco 2 TD5 hard starting, Runs for a minute or 3 then dies.

Right, I was getting the dreaded not starting problems, and a bit of oil in the red plug, usual ****.and being a 205k mile car, I figure do the injector seals while I'm in there, because why not.

Anyway, after a bit of ****ing around, she runs well, but takes a while to start, even after doing the fuel purge thing. And then struggles and dies after a few minutes at most, even if I'm delivering noisy pedal love. Will restart if I keep turning the key on and off to prime the pump before starting.

I feel like it's a fuel system issue, but obviously I don't want to start throwing more money at it without a clue.


Things wot I did (and could have buggered up):
Injector washers/seals (as per disco2.co.uk instructions)
Injector Harness
crank position sensor (had a spare, so why not)
Knackered the tiny pipe on my radiator
New rocker gasket and washer-spacer things

If you can hear the pump it's still possible that it works only on LP, do the following test Check Td5 fuel pump HP

Sitting at 20.9mv, so I'm going with close enough to working.

Did you scan it for fault codes? if not that should be the next move

alas, no code reader
