hi there, just finished welding up the father in laws 2003 TD5, I then drove it and realised how damn gutless it is,

It's a 2003 td5 auto, I replaced injector loom and in tank pump (vdo Siemens iirc), it is supposedly remapped, the EGR has been removed etc, I know autos are not that quick but this thing is shockingly flat, when started cold it misses and puffs blue smoke for app 30 seconds and won't accelerate until the misfire clears, to pull away, it is virtually dangerous as it just takes ages to take off, once it boosts it goes but still nothing like you'd expect, in comparison his old 300tdi auto was quicker, any ideas
 
By comparison mine also has a bit of a "time lag". At a busy roundabout I floor it while there's still a car in front of me, but it's gone by the time I pull away.
Fine if you're usd to it!
 
I apologise for my two "colleagues" but I presume that the injector harness was changed because it had oiled up. In which case I would make sure that the rest of the loom, including the red plug in the ECU are clear of oil too.
I would also double check that all the pipework to do with the pump has been put back correctly. Since the line from the pump to the injectors on the Td5 is at high pressure and the injectorson a common rail, would venture that it's unlikely that air is getting in there, but it's worth checking all the fittings

Other than that, I'd go as far as £7.50 and a half chewed Curly-Wurly.
 
Can you get it on live diagnostics to see if anything is visible on that? Nanocom / hawkeye?

Cheers

Don't apologise Brian, at least he got a response to his question......
 
Although that said the £100 Delphi is much better than the £4K snap on lol, but are nanocom and hawkeye more specialist to Land Rover, anyone in Somerset that can do it ?
 
By all accounts you won't get any sensible readings off anything that isn't dedicated to LR's of this period, e.g. Testbook, Lynx, Nanocom etc. Mind you, for 4k I'd expect the SnapOn to speak Klingon.

BTW, posting at 2:56 and 3:10AM, I assume you're on nights?!
 
No, days just a bloody early start, hgv mechanic, a few services behind so early start to clear the back log, not bad 0330 start, Mercedes bin lorry fully serviced with new front discs and pads by 7am
