Whilst I’m waiting for the charger to do its job this morning, I was matching up my fuel pipe routing compared to the video. I’ve drawn up a diagram which shows the flow. My fuel is starting into the lift pump rather than into the filter which...

Top up/fill up… Engine oil Water Screen wash Kicked tyres Power steering( looks like a small weep on drop arm) A fixed a bit of tape to the throttle adjuster to stop the cable winding loose due to diesel vibrations Loaded motor for few days...

Yep. Pumping nicely.

Have you tried operating the lift pump by hand?

Lift pump has been changed but now I’ve no crank. Off to borrow a battery charger 🤞🏻

Stick a battery charger on the old girl.

I figured out how to take the glass out of the front sunroof, which is actually very surprisingly simple, so I’ve been rolling round with both sections out the last couple of days 👌🏼👌🏼.

Both on the turn of the key and manually using the “pump arm”

Step 1, no “squib” from the lift pump. 👍👍

Cheers @miktdish - I know where all these parts are. I will take a look at this tomorrow or Saturday when I have a free morning. 🫡

Then before you worry about it further, if it clicks (if its working)and you have LP fuel to the injector pump then you should have fuel at the injectors so shirley thats the next test step. If you have fuel in and no fuel out then even though...

Might be useful for understanding the system.

Only thinking during the diagnosis process @miktdish rather than waiting on a part.

I am also confirmed to be getting a click on the solenoid when power is applied.

I've confirmed power is going to this. Any way to bypass it to rule it in or out of the tests?

The small pipe is fuel leak off pipe to the pump. I sent you a pm but basically you need to check for fuel going to lift pump, going to filter, going to injection pump. It needs continuous 12v at stop solenoid to let fuel through. When you are...

Adding a thread here for a way to log progress and hopefully help others in future. My 91 Defender 200TDI (which I now have learned contains a Disco engine) is failing to start after I've replaced the steering shaft and radiator - doing the...

Something in and around here @Anaconda ?

Cheers. Learn something new about this bloody thing every day. Now need to work out why it won’t start after I’ve changed the radiator per the workshop manual. Turns over but won’t start. Air in fuel? Some wire come loose somewhere? 😣😣

Fitting new radiator along with new hoses. My thinking was the blue ones give me a clue in future which ones have already been done 😂 However, a couple of the hoses don’t match. The set I’ve bought are definitely Defender hoses (according to...

Can this be done with wheels on the ground or do they need lifting?

If the column is tight on the steering box and the steering wheel can be turned without the drop arm moving then the play is in the box (obviously). There is a correct way to adjust the steering box. You could have changed just the ujs and not...

More like the play is in the “box” that the steering shaft goes into near the front of the vehicle.

Ended up using a combination of the angle grinder, cutting disk, lump hammer and crowbar to get the bloody thing out.

I did notice I get about 90 degrees of play at this point (steering box?) with the wheels on the ground. Is this expected or does something need tightening?

New cutting disk to the rescue.

I reckon you could tighten it up until it snaps if you really can't undo it.

New hoses, and while I’m there if I’m paying for delivery anyway may as well get a few “bits” 😂

Bottoms ones came out nicely. Just the top to do.
