I think my oil level has risen. Can the diesel get into the rocker cover?
I’ve got a 400 mile motorway journey. Don’t want to wreck it! Might change the oil first.

diesel can commonly enter the engine oil by 2 ways ,one leaking injector o rings and the other if head cracks around the fuel gallery,which means fuel enters rocker gallery and down into the sump
 
Ok chaps. It’s not drivable at all today. I have no proper tools or parts but I aim to remove injectors and anneal the copper washers soft again. I’ve stripped it all down but top tips for removing the injectors without a slide hammer/puller anyone?

They’re out! No recovery unfortunately...
The o rings look fine. Copper washers have some dubious areas but nothing screams out. I’ve annealed them over the burner in our hot water boiler :-0
Think I’ll flip them over to give a new area for the injector to bite into.

I hope you made a note of which one went in which place.

All back together... no different. Won’t even tick over. Fuel pump goes for ages. If I do purge it just keeps going 5 times or more?
 
Just discovered my crank position sensor wires melted together. And a lone can of Desperados in the fridge. Going t o tackle both in reverse order :)
 
OK, have you checked the fuel flow at the FPR?

the pump can fail on the high pressure side , so it does not provided enough pressure / flow to the head.

I sort of discounted that as last week the pump relay packed in and it still worked fine although I couldn’t get over 50 mph. I’ve replaced the relay and 2 days later this problem... I took the pump out and fired up with the green hose off. Lots of flow. Same with the fpr temp sensor removed.
Thanks neilly

I measured the output on the D2, and it was only outputting the flow at the LP rate. That would not restart after a fuel filter change.

I’ve had tho throw in the towel and booked recovery ££££ back to Uk. So I’ll up dat you in a couple of weeks.
I called my local independent who reckons it’s the ECU all day long. It’s less than 2 years old from Alive tuning so maybe some warranty...

Did you have the older non-flashable ECU where they would have needed to replace the chip? It's possible the solder joints might have partially failed

It was fitted by the previous owner. But from recollection the receipt was for a new unit remapped to stage one. £900
 
Finally the landy is back in the uk (£1000 transport later) and it turns out it was the ECU after all.... oh well
Thanks for all your assistance though guys, we gave it a good shot
