    200tdi being a git to start

    ive just brimmed it with fuel from down south, so its not been tainted with "sturgeoness" But only did 500m since the garage :p so will see... Ive ordered a fuel solenoid anyway, and if worst comes to it ill swap the pump over. I think its got to be something in the fuel pump / the fuel as i...

    Aye I know, that's what I thought, but Ibe now swapped the fuel filter in the td5 as well and there didn't seem to be any black sludge in it. Might just be properly crap fuel?

    200tdi being a git to start

    i dont remember there being a gauze on the end of the pickup when i changed the tank, i think it was just an open pipe... cant remember properly now! That black sludge does look a bit like what was in the filter, albeit there was considerably less than in that picture. But maybe its just the...

    200tdi being a git to start

    The 200tdi in our 130 has started giving jip, over the past few days its gone from starting at the merest flick of the starter, to basically crank as long as you wont - no chance pal! If you run it down a hill and flick the starter itll fire right up. Itll also fire up with some easy start or...

    well weirdly the red circle light error has randomly stopped occuring and its no longer going into limp mode The abs is sorted too, the abs sensor had been worn away by the reductor ring from the look of it. replaced, and all is well with the world. Hell i even found where the coolant loss is...

    Disco 2 suspension warning light + red circle exclamation

    yeah but thats because the rear abs sensor has gone up the spout, it did it months ago. I dont think its related as the abs system is totally seperate non?
