hi my 300tdi disco keeps cutting out ive changed the filters air and fuel. no joy. whats happening is it starts fine ticks over fine drive to end of the road as you release the go pedal rev die and it splutters to a stop. crank it 3 or 4 time it starts drive off. soon as you release pedal agaiin cuts out.

rev it on drive sometimes cuts out.

any ideas thanks
 
i think before the lever will work you need to make sure that the cam is in the right place or it feels like its not connected and not doing anything although i could be wrong.Also clean out the sedimentor which is fastened on the o/s/r chassis near the wheel.
 
its just a plain mechanical pump
All 300TDI FIPs are mechanical. What we are talking about here is how its controllled. Later ones have an ECU and are controlled by electrickery. Instead of having a cable from the accelerator pedal to the pump there is a potentiometer and some electrical magic going on. The poteniometers have been known to play up
 
its a 1997 on a P had a look has a cable but there is what id think was a pot on the pump

there should be one 11mm bolt on the top of the sedimentor then its just a matter of working it loose as it sounds like its not been off for a while! you will need to make sure that the rubber gasket doesnt get ripped or you will have to replace it so it doesnt draw air.
 
do these help?

Ovaline Tractor oil from any Farmers suppliers or agricultural engineers. cheap as buggery and if farmers use it it must be good and cheap. or they wunt bother..
