Hi guys,
In April I did a full service on my Td5 Disco. I changed the fuel filter which was a mistake. I think it has air in the system.
I have read and used lots of procedures to bleeding the diesel system but as far as I can work out, none have worked. It takes a while to start (about 10-20 seconds of cranking) with the throttle to the floor. When I turn the ignition on, I hear a whining noise and it continues when the engine is running, it is very loud as you can hear it over the Td5. It also smokes on start up which I can only imagine is the unburnt diesel coming out of the 'zorst.
Until recently, it ran fine once I got the thing started but now when I'm in slow moving traffic it stalls and won't start again for a while, this only started happening when I filled the tank to the top. A couple of days ago, I changed the filter again with a Coopers one (it originally has a Mann one) which helped the problem briefly but now it's back again.
This problem has gone from annoying to absolutely dangerous.
What do you think is the solution to my problem? Is it simply a case of bleeding the system manually (where is the bloody primer pump???), a new pump? or is it an injector problem?
Thanks in advance for the help guys and I am seriously wondering why the bloody hell I bought a Td5.
