Hi guys and girls im hoping someone can help me, i brought a 1997 disco from a friend ive done shed loads of welding to get it through an mot and now its gone and let me down.

Ill start at the beginning, brought the disco for a project and to assist in a new refurb job ill be doing in france soon, i stripped all the boot floor out and replaced complete boot floor, repaired rear inner arches, replaced rear x member,
repaired outer sills and some other bits. i removed the fuel tank and all the other parts that you need to remove to get the tank out completed all the work and refitted tank. refuelled tank with £30 of diesel and expecting it to be a nightmare to start but no after warming glow plugs for a couple of seconds away she went first turn of key:car: excellent i thought, next i booked her in for an mot at a local garage that i use, driving to the garage that is about five miles away she suddenly looses power no acceleration so i pull over thinking i had run out of fuel tried to start her again and away she went but when i press accelerator there is nothing. iv checked all the usuall things hoses etc and no problems found. i got her recovered and she is currently at the garage but the mechanic cant find what's wrong with her, he says he has dropped the tank to check fuel lines from tank, seems to be dragging his feet abit as she been there 3 days now and still no diagnosis any advice would be appreciated

:welcome2:

It does sound like a fuel issue but post in the Disco section. Could be any number of things......blocked pick-up pipe, holed fuel line (use section of clear pipe to check for air), knackered lift pump, blocked filter....

Good luck anyway
