    Rear diff failure?

    This morning whilst driving into work I noticed a slight clonk on changing gears. I thought here we go again bushes on the rear diff gone yet again! Then once I got on to the works car park I was forced to reverse about 30 metres which was fine until I had to turn at the end then I got a bad...

    Fixed a non starter for 4p

    I'm sure everyone knows that I have had problems with my TD4 not starting, well I have fixed it in half an hour at the cost of 4p. Fuel pressure regulator on the end of the Injection pump has 2 7mm rubber O rings. Mine had ripped and was allowing fuel back down the return at too low pressure so...

    Another Pump question

    Am I right in thinking the regulator is basically a valve actuator? The reason I am digging at this is that the LR bloke said that the pressure at the common rail wasn't building up, therefore if the regulator on the HP fuel pump is frigged the fuel would be diverted back to the fuel tank. I...

    Another Pump question

    HP pump crank driven! How does it work? You have a fuel feed in a fuel out then the feed to the common rail. You have a connector on the back of the pump with a few wires in it. When does it re direct the flow o fuel? How does it know when to divert fuel etc?

    Injector question

    Does anyone know if the injectors have a fuse or a relay that they use? I know they are controlled via the ECU but was wondering if they had anything and where it is situated? Reason I am asking is the car would start with a bump now nothing since I had the pump out. I am not confident the...

    Common rail pressure

    The bloke who came out the other day said that the pressure at the common rail before cranking was way too low. He suggested a pump problem, he very kindly lent me 2 pumps one lift pump(under the back seat fits in the tank) and the front pump(in a carrier on the inner wing next to the recently...

    Common rail pressure

    The LR bloke has been over,plugged the machine in to the car no errors, he did notice that on position 2 the common rail pressure was way low! He suggested the pump under the bonnet or the high pressure pump crank driven and very kindly lent me one of the wing mounted ones to try! It was not...

    TD4 fuel filter

    Sorry Mondo what I should have said is there is a possibility that I only half filled it in the first place.

    TD4 fuel filter

    TD4 fuel filter

    Not even rev. Yes it's an ongoing problem. It would start and run fine with easy start or a bump. Not since taking the filter and pump off today, fuel supply coming out of filter so the pump is still working. Had it on T4 diagnostics on Thursdayand nothing was flagging up! If I can get it going...

    TD4 fuel filter

    Thanks for the help. I was wondering if I had got air in the system or worse water. When I had the pump out I ran water through it! I know not the cleverest thing to do but I ran it dry afterwards and shook it to get the excess out. I was wondering if some water could have got in to the fuel...

    TD4 fuel filter

    Yeah there seems to be. But I can't understand prior to filling the filter and removing the pump it would start with just a whiff of easy start now nothing! Does it matter that it is filled right to the top?

    TD4 fuel filter

    Yet another problem! As everyone knows I am having problems starting my TD4. Today I took off my fuel filter and second pump. The fuel filter was less than half full so I topped it up to the top, I checked my pump was working by connectng it to an external power supply. I have put both back in...

    EGR valve

    Why my car is off the road I decided to do some other maintenance. I took off the EGR valve and have never seen anything a crapped up in my life! I am in the process of giving it a good clean. My question is could this have any effect on the starting of the vehicle? Probably not but I am...
