1984 110 2.5 n/a engine.
A few weeks ago my landy started cutting out. You would have to wait a few minutes then you could start again, go another 1/2 - 3 miles then cut out again... and so on.
Trying to get back home, nothing obvious, drained water off etc, changed fuel filter, bled etc etc and still you could only get a short distance before cutting out again (new fuel pump stop solenoid fitted about 1 year ago, so that should be OK). Eventually ran out of battery power to keep starting and had to call recovery. After waiting almost an hour, I have one last try and she started. Recovery guy (sods law) turns up almost immediately, and I decide to drive it to the garage he comes from, (which just so happens to be a 4x4 specialist, who used to deal almost exclusively with Landys) with him follwoing in case it cuts out again. This time of course she runs perfectly the 5 miles to the garage! Deciding that I need it sorted and am on shift the next few days so can't look at it myself, I left it with them. Unfortuantely, it was running fine and they could find nothing wrong. I've had it back 3 weeks and all was fine, then today it's back to square one with it cutting out and follwoing the same pattern. It feels like fuel starvation. After coming to a halt, it will restart then chug and stop in a few seconds. then after another couple of minutes, it will start properly and away you go. At times it feels like its not got full power but recovers before coming to a halt again. I've given it system cleaner, changed the fuel filter, air filter, tightened up fuel pipe unions (in case it was sucking air) etc, but I'm absolutely foxed. I'd be grateful if anyone has some ideas. It is not a turbo, it's a 1984 normaly aspired 2.5 diesel.
