Hi all,
Anyway, purchased a 2001 defender the other day, td5, anyway, enjoying myself driving it about, anyway, yesterday I pull up at a junction, then I start to drive, get into 4th then it just starts dying. Anyway, I pull over, turn off the engine, try to start her, nothing, ticking over but just doesn't fire up.
Anyway, so I try this key into second position and pump the accelarator 5 times, then try start her, tried this many times to no success, so that's when the recovery truck has to be called. He has a noisy and tells me that the fuel is just drippling to the engine, no pressure. So I get it home, take out the fuel pump, have a noisy, can't find any blocks. So what do you guys reckon, new fuel pump is it? I'm quite a novice with a lot of mechanics so any advice is brilliant,even if you live nearby and can help me out ill sort you out a few bob. Cheers
Chris
