    Disco 1 300tdi won’t start

    I’ll have a look . I’ve got my trusty injector puller on standby! What was the immobiliser problem you had and do find them to be a pain? cheers

    Cheers. I’m definitely keeping it! Like you say if a mistake is made which is easily done it’s there as backup

    Disco 1 300tdi won’t start

    No spider, good to know. It all sounds fine be honest. The usual buzz when you turn on the first click of the ignition. It’s just a basic earth and touch pen type with a light. What type would you suggest or method of testing? Yeah the fuel filter is full and bled but I’ve got a Delphi on order...

    Disco 1 300tdi won’t start

    It does seem to be a needle in a haystack kinda job this one. the injector return pipes seem in pretty good condition but I’ve got a new spill rail on the way. The fuel sender seems to be coming up a lot from everyone’s comments so that’s being tackled next. Hopefully Monday now as family etc...

    Disco 1 300tdi won’t start

    I must admit I’ve never been near it I have no excuse for that. I will definitely investigate it though. I’ve looked online and they’re about £25 from Bearmach, thinking it might be better just replace it for now but I hear what what you’re saying regarding the sedimenter not being fitted to the...

    I have yes. The diesel flowed out the bleed screw readily without any bubbles. I’m going to investigate the fuel sender tomorrow Thanks for your advice

    Disco 1 300tdi won’t start

    Yep it’s a good engine and pulls well etc. Yes EDC as you say, the battery has plenty of punch with a good CCA. I’m going to remove the cap for the fuel sender tomorrow which will involve an angle grinder due to rusted on bolts which speak volumes and back up what you and Europa486 suggested. I...

    Disco 1 300tdi won’t start

    She’s an Auto 98 Japanese import. Not sure if the spider still applies? But it does have immobiliser. As far the power goes, I ran a circuit tester to it and got the light so all good I think. Thanks for your advice

    Cheers, the cap for the sender unit is quite corroded which would make sense. The fuel in tank is several months old , I’ll change the filter too and add fresh fuel to prime as suggested Thanks a lot
