I’ve a 2003 Disco td5 manual, about three weeks ago when leaving a realatives the she dicided that it would take a couple of goes before starting, this after a run of about 40 miles, and standing for about 3-4 hours, didn’t think too much of it, went on holiday towing the caravan, and gradually it has got worse, always on the first start up, it’s okay if I restart her within about an hour or so, any longer and she struggles cranks over nicely then splutters in to life a couple of times I’ve used easy start to give a helping hand pump was making some strange noises in the boot.
Took her to the garage, he’s experienced with Land Rovers, he had it for three days, and came back with there are no fault codes, fuel pressure okay nothing showing any problems, when she starts fuel pressure is good, and she runs as sweet as, only thing he could suggest was to take out the injectors and high pressure pump for testing,as he felt the issue was there, suggested bill £2000-£3000 depending if it needed a pump or injectors, when I suggested new washers and seals for the injectors, his reply was that it would not effect the starting issue, I had ordered the parts (genuine), but he did not fit them.
Battery is new 3 months old and has good cranking power, Glow plugs are all good, relays been cheeked and, no sensor problems (checked by two different mechanics).
Do we think he’s right about the pump and injectors, any other ideas welcome, anything less than quoted
