Hey up
I bought a 2003 td5 to tie us over whilst I get round to sorting the disco 3 out.
Of course last night the little swine started playing up...
It had been a bit harder to start for a couple of weeks, needing a good few cranks and pumps on the throttle.
On the motorway, started just sounding kind of rough? And lumpy. Then a few miles later it gradually lost more and more power over a 3 or 4 mile stretch until it eventually cut out.
I couldn't hear the fuel pump so I assumed it was that, as it did feel like fuel starvation.
After a few minutes I tried bumping it and it fired up, but only just and I managed to limp it home at 30mph max but still lumpy as.
So I've put a new fuel pump on it this morning, and been through the priming sequence. Won't fire up though. Fires with a smidge if easy start but then just dies.
I've checked for diesel in the oil and seems ok. Fpr, is hissing is really loud. I don't remember our old ones being like that.
Not looked at the ECU loom yet. Would oil in the ECU make it do this? I've never had one with the issue.
Had a brand new big CCA battery the other week and it's cranking over like a trooper.
