Every day is a school day. The reason I asked was , if he can stick diagnostics on, maybe he can find out why it won't start.

Sorry about the delayed reply. Been head under hood. I undone the first injector and cranked it over there wasn't much diesel flow and the gauge says half tank. I stuck a syphone down the neck of the tank and it appeared to be empty I throw in 4 gallon. The fuel gauge has gone up to about 3/4 of a tank. Any ideas on priming.

Do you know how to prim the diesel pump?
How much would you change?

Pump should self prime if there is fuel at the filter.

Underneath what? The filter?? If so that's the water drain off.. "Think so" is not good enough, you need to be certain, you also need to be certain that the filter is not blocked. Take the filter off, check the filter housing is full, then do a fuel flow test, 180mil in 5 seconds if memory serves me correctly.
It is in the Technical Section in Wammers' post anyway.

Hi.. after days of tinkering if got her running. Just have to change two pipes the ones that go from injector to injector. The front suspension dropped and air escaped from pump. Once I got the RR tuning the front raised the 2 top light on the height switch stayed on then you could only switch between the two lights: deep water and a solid white line?
There are 4 (well 5 really) ride heights.
1. Access
2. Motorway
3. Standard
4. High
5. Extended
3 are selectable in normal circumstances using the ride height selector switch
1. Access
2. Standard
3. High
If you then press the switch next to the ride height selector (looks like a flat tyre!!) you can then do the following:
1. Select each height individually (Access, Motorway, Standard and High)
2. Lock the ride height in Access Height (EAS MANUAL mode) to allow the vehicle to crawl under height restrictions
3. Lock the ride height in Standard to prevent it lowering to motorway at speed - this is used when towing.
Extended ride height is a software only function that if at High the vehicle detects it is grounded out - it will try and raise the vehicle an extended amount to clear the obstacle - this height is not user selectable (unless you have a janky box thingy to tell the ECU to do so!)
So you being able to select the bottom light (Access) the flat line (Standard) and the top light (High) is normal - until you press the inhibit switch next the ride height selector, then you can select all the above plu Motorway too.
Simples (squeak)!

You can also lock the suspension at motorway height, rides better and saves wear & tear on the pump due to making useless height changes when on the move.

Brilliant thanks for the advice
Changed the two pipes but the battery went flat again think I might need a new one. Three cranks and battery flat well the round hole in the battery is still green faded. Didn't fire up think the battery died before I managed to prime the two cylinders that I changed the pipes on. Hopefully it won't take to long tomorrow to prime then start to change diff. Thanks again for the info.....

From your description you changed two leak off pipes. The pipes to the injectors from the injector pump should not require priming/bleeding.
