Hi All,
Not had to post on the forum too much as I never had any problems with my reliable 200TDi, I now have a TD5 and within a week I have some problems.
The TD5 will not start when is has been left for more than 4 or 5 hours, to be more precise it will start and then die after a couple of seconds, even if I rev the nuts off it during these few seconds it will still stop. Then it will crank with small amounts of white smoke but will not fire.
I have replaced pump in the tank as it was making some odd noises, the injector seals and cleaned the red plug on the ECU, which was covered in oil.
If it does start (easy start will do it, I know its not good for it) it runs very well, some times a bit guttless but this may be just me understanding the power range of the engine.
I am thinking that this is a fuel problem, or may be crank sensor?
Its a 2001 high mileage defender TD5.
