Ive got a 90 with a discovery 200tdi conversion. ever since beening at a rather extreme angle whilst laneing the other day it is no no longer driveable due to having no power.
it will idle fine but as soon as you apply any load to the engine it will give up the ghost and stall out.
I am fairly sure its down to there being air in the fuel system, but try as i might i cannot get it out. now i thought it was a simple matter of running the engine, undoing the bleed screw in the fuel filter and letting it run until it starts passing fuel with no bubbles, unfortunately as long as i leave it, it simply will not bleed.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
also, i have replaced the lift pump as i thought this might have been on the way out but that has made no difference.
