Hi guys, any help with this issue would really appreciated!
Disco 2 td5 53plate.
As soon as the snow was forecast on the telly the landy died on me!!!
Now cant get the bugger started again!!!
Engine turning over fast & fine but no hint of a splutter or any sign of firing up.
Tried the priming technique , pumping the pedal 5 times etc, switch on & off etc but no joy, although this usually does the trick and fires her up. It was running perfect the previous night but went to start on a very cold morning, it spluttered a little so some fuel was burnt then died totally, then the engine was turning over endlessly till the battery died, nightmare!!!
Recharged the battery, put jump leads on from other car and turned her over the next day, still turning over but not a cough or a splutter, tried the priming technique again but no joy, so i have left some juice in the battery to give her another try tomorrow.
If it snows over night i'm up **** creek because i live in the countryside!
A few months ago she was smoking a lot of grey smoke and the fuel pump was screaming like a banshee, so i changed the injector seals, this cured the smoking and also the noisy fuel pump, i've noticed recently the fuel pump has been getting noisier again and she wont start unless i turn the key after the initial priming of the fuel pump, aprox 45 secs whereas before she would fire up straight away on first turn of the key.
Today i changed the injector seals again, seemed to be quite a lot of leakage around there, oil dipstick is reading high, so i was thinking diesel mixing with the oil via injector seals?? praying its not the head gasket!!!
No oil in coolant looks ok. I just ordered a set of glow plugs on ebay 5 mins ago, could these be at fault?? fuel is getting to fuel pressure regulator so i'm thinking fuel pump is ok, done the injector harness around 6 months ago, ecu is clear of oil too at the red plug, fitted new air flow meter and turbo hoses around 6 months ago also, all vaccuum hoses replaced also, egr ok also.
The last time the car wouldn't fire up like this was because the air condition pump seized, this was evident from a blown fuse and a goosed bearing in the pulley, replaced at cost of £600ish, pump looks fine now though.
Any ideas would be a great help, hoping to get some work done on her tomorrow, as i says if it snows im fecked,
Cheers guys
