Td5 sudden rattle and power loss.

Hi all,

Parked up the 110 last night, with no noticeable problems.
Went to get in it this morning and the engine is rattling horribly on acceleration, and there's no power. Upon trying to accelerate it feels as though its missing badly and barely accelerates, I was struggling to pass 30mph.

Prior to this it has run very nicely with bags of power (stage 1 remap).
Only things to note before this was that it had a slightly uneven idle (vehicle could be felt wobbling slightly at idle).

Also, not sure if it could be related, but I ran out of fuel a few days ago. Has been fine since I filled it up and used the auto-bleed procedure until this morning.

If there's anyone in the Coventry area that has a Nanocom or similar, I'd be willing to provide a brew

Thanks all

Just been out to it to check a couple of things, and realised that I can no longer hear to fuel pump coming in when I turn the ignition on!

This could definitely be the cause of my problems if it is kaput!

Grrr.......

Are all the turbo hoses connected correctly? I've had one blow off and the jubilee clip attached to it rattles against the engine and would explain loss of power!

Check yer fuel pump relay

had this a few weeks ago on my td5, the fuel pump was the cause, would let enough fuel through just for tick-over but was so lumpy it was awful, as soon as i put my foot on the gas pedal all hell let loose, stopped it and got recovered, changed the pump and no more problem
