Ok I’ve checked the green coloured pipe on the fuel diagram and it’s not really flowing like it should. This is directly out of the pump. The love return is flowing much better. 3 pumps all duff? Or is something else at play

Ow ... well that was a waste of time. Another scan with the nanocom and it’s reading rpms when cranking, still no faults logged If I disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel cooler, should it be blasting out? There’s only a gentle dribble from the hose, none from the cooler. Is this right? ...

To the sadistic git of an engineer who positioned the cps. Don’t worry pal, I don’t need the skin on the back of my hand

Ok seals and o rings changed, injectors all adjusted. Sod still wont start. Crank position sensor maybe? I’ve had the nanocom on it with no faults shown.

Well thats the injector loom changed, the old one was rammed with oil. Cleaned out the eco too. Excitedly i started it up and .... the same going to do the washers and seals as james suggests next. I presume if a washer has a slight leak it could be pressurising the fuel system with air...

Aye doing that one on the other td5 ... it’s like broken down disco frickin alley on the drive at the minute. Just managed to get some o rings and washers from 252 spares before they shut for the holiday weekend. Utter gents hung around for us as we got stuck in traffic so we’re late. Top...

Cheers Brian, I’ve ive done these looms many times before, but only as a precaution after seeing oil on the plug. Never actually had any running problems caused by it. Hopefully this is it, I imagine if it’s causing mega issues it means the ecu will be chokka with oil so I’ll strip that out too...

i did clean out the harness the other week, I've never had one been affected by oil before so wasn't sure of the symptoms. Ill crack open the eco tomorrow and have a look. ta

Aside from the 2003 td5 disco that i have that won't start, the mrs 2004 td5 is giving jip. Started on tuesday morning, got in it to go to work, started up fine, went 50m with it having a terrible idle, never had any issues with it before with this. Seems like its got plenty of pull for a few...

Ah balls I left it purging fir about ten minutes,with another new pump in it. Oil levels started going up Injector seals time

Aye I’ve been thinking along those lines, I happen to have s new valve from a few years back, I’ll dig that out and fit it tonight. Worth a try, it’ll either sort it or rule it out.

Will see if I can bodge a pressure indicator onto it, I’m sure I’ve got something kicking about

Rather irritatingly the wifes disco started being a little bugger yesterday as well. Runs ok for a few seconds, but then seems to be misfiring and loses loads of power, bit of smoke etc. And the fuel pump on that DOES sound rough as a badger. So thats on the list to get sorted this weekend...

found on this forum. It is correct. Annoyingly the previously owner has hacked out a piece of the boot floor to improve the access to the fuel pumps. Bit aggressive really! The pump is a new one from bear mach, unless its a duff'un of course

ta muchas gracias

Good point on the pipes being in the right order...I put them back on to what they were on the pump already :confused:... white green blue black... so i think thats correct. crank position, this was something i had thought about but i can hear the pump isn't building pressure. its tone isn't...

yes yes another one of those! Ive just picked up another td5 (mainly to annoy the wife as its a higher spec than hers) as a none runner. 2003. So 15p engine. Ive got it turning over, changed the fuel pump (old one wasn't activating), and its now making the good ol bbzzzzz as it should. However...

Hmm not quite working right. The right hand bag was very slow to level and now doesn’t seem to be getting air at all. I’ve pumped it up manually and disconnected the air system. In diagnostic mode I’m trying to send air through the air line but not getting any on the right. I suspect the...

I know, it’s 2 bags of air, done solenoids, transducers and a pump (pretty much) Not rocket science

It’s a 2004 in black, manual and was supposed to be on air but they had fitted a coil conversion kit. Gave £1000 for it 2 days before Xmas. Bargain!!! Just fitted all the kit and the air systems now working perfectly. Rides sssooooo much better. Cost for the 2 new air bags, compressor...
