The lekky dude has called the lad next door & said he has local jobs an would like to keep local work... if he booked today he will take a grand off the price. So he knows he's priced it high.

This part right? https://ebay.us/m/XQ5e8w

If the HP regulator has gone faulty it will cause low pressure so may show as a sensor fault.

Yes so the ECU code was : P1602… have messaged the mechanic regarding the fuel pressure code.

i need to triple check with the mechanic, but he said that the fuel pressure sensor was throwing up a code (this was all in French and I’m still learning so didn’t get all the info)

Thanks for this, yeah, so the fuel pressure sensor on the fuel rail was giving a code along with the immobiliser, so I think that’s my next step, get one ordered. I’ve tested the filter and all good.

On mine, i replaced the shafts and flanges together (rear), using sealable flanges, and, at the same time, removed the oil seal behind the stub axle, so as the gear oil can run the whole way up to the flange. Ill take it apart at some point in...

After fitting new VCU bearings & replacing the propshaft UJ's did a bench test on the VCU today. Didn't have correct length bar & weight available, so used what was in the garage. Distance from VCU shaft to weight is 80cm, and weight is 6kg...

Did the diags give the fuel pressures low/high? HP regulator is a know common issue, ask me how I know. EDIT: I don't remember seeing any fault codes.

Ah, sorry Julian. I was just saying some of the Defender 300Tdi's have flanged rear drive shafts, not that they will fit a salisbury diff. I've no experience of them, but from what I've read they are not interchangeable parts.

Cheers, its a 6 week lead time for Richards, still a bit 50/50 I think but you dont pay till its ready so I have ordered it ;)

I agree fully about advertising but its still classed as serving the advert and some of the adverts are just insanely overt..... I mean why I used to keep getting "grow your penis, is your penis small" adverts. Incidentally Netflix is getting as...

If it's been on diagnostics, what's the fuel pressure rail sensor showing at higher speed ? Def worth doing the high pressure pump regulator seals - easy & cheap to do. Sounds like your friend needs to go to a garage that will do the...

Yeah, im on the pc at the moment, and zero ads, but on phones its harder. There are browsers and script combinations (like kiwi) that will strip everything off facebook, but its still madness that this forum is getting that bad.

Im confused by this - the 300disco had them, but that didnt have a salisbury. ...and, more to the point, im pretty certain (almost entirely certain) that the 300 disco and 300 defender salisbury half shafts are different lengths (which is why...

AD Blocker, its free and I havent seen an advert in years... even blocks youtube adverts.

Apparently I need a 8 new office chairs from Ebay at this moment in time.

If its cranking over, there's only a couple of things it can be. It's briefly firing on cold start being sprayed it, means no fuel. Immobiliser has been bypassed and it's cranking so not likely ews at this point. This pretty much leaves fuel...

you dont need to have it running just cranking for a leak off test, there are plenty of utube videos on how todo it plus a leak off kit on fliebay is about £35

Is it the one in the body or the bumper, can you put a photo on. There must be breakers in the US that have them. I have a pair of genuine LR, that are the body mounted ones. God knows how much it would cost to post though.

How do I do a leak off test if the car won’t run? By just cranking?

Mine is another vote for the chassis swap. Chances are the steel of the chassis rail behind the gearbox cross member flanges will be non existent, as well as all of the other holes you've already identified. As Hicap phill says, you're half way...

i would do a leak off test before doing the fuel sensor as a faulty injector stops it starting ( and if it was cranking it wasnt the immobiliser)

Pervert

Yes so the diag found 2 things , 1 that the immobiliser wasn’t working properly, and 2 that the fuel pressure wasn’t right, he said that I should deal with the IMMOBILISER first and then move to the pressure sensor on the fuel rail, just checking...

there is a whole sequence of events that have to happen before the diesel will start (cant say about the petrol) any one of which would stop the starter from working

Mine is a 1996 300Tdi and mine has them on. According to the LR parts catalogue, they were used from VIN - LA930456 Here's one on Paddocks part number FTC3270. The near side is FTC3271

Well, we’ve tried so many things, then with a diag mechanic coming out he narrowed it down to either the fuel pressure sensor or the immobiliser , but suggested crossing off the immobilisation first.

i some how think you have been barking up the wrong tree with the ecu being the problem

Okkk. Back again, just been over to fit the ÉCU, aaand nothing. But with the ECU was a note from the company that deactivated the immobiliser which said “if the car won’t start, bypass the immobiliser relay” … now looking online I can see that my...
