Hi just bought my self a 1996 P38 2.5 bmw diesel rangerover, from the auction... needs a fair bit of work though got my self a long to do list which im sure ill be begging for help with soon lol.
Heres my story so far...
Drove it home, kept on cutting out on way home, usualy when i started slowing down to turn it would just cut out. restarting took a while to crank over.
Parked it up, tested glowplugs all dead, replaced them, along with oil, oil and air filter. Got fuel filter but going to put that on tomorow.
Tried to start after changing the oil but the battery has now decided to die tried recharging for afew hours but it wont hold a charge...
Any way i was looking at the fuel filter and noticed you got the pipe coming into the filter i asume from the fuel tank, then a pipe coming out which i assume goes to the fuel injection pump, this pipe also has some sort of valve in it, non return valve? Anyway before the valve i see the pipe is full of fuel, then after the valve the pipe is empty?
Anyone know if this is this normal with the engine switched off? Or should the pipe before and after this valve be constantly full of fuel.
Diagramme below to show what im looking at
