    What's that noise?

    'orrible noises when cornering generally point at CV joints, but as with everything its no where near definitive. because that would be too easy. On a different tact, have you checked your steering fluid level recently? Any leaks on the steering box?

    What's that noise?

    CV joint? Does it go crunk on roundabouts?

    Fuel gauge 90 300TDi

    Are you getting continuity between the sender and the cable on the back of the gauge? Looks like the sender is goosed if the connections are all there (I got caught out by the ones in the engine bay), sender's are about £20 (paid £22inc. VAT for mine) and as you probably noticed its a quick...

    Forgot the wading plugs

    Changed the lift pump today, it doesn't seem to want to prime off the lift pump, think the foot is sitting a bit high on the cam, even at the lowest point but with the pump slightly out it does prime (tested it as a I was fitting it). Took it for a drive and no repeat of sluggish or loss of...

    I use a piece of 2x4 (came complimentary with my Landy) :p

    Fuel gauge 90 300TDi

    sounds like could be your fuel sender unit, check the connections on top of your fuel tank, then check the interconnect in the engine bay by the bulkhead to make sure the connection there isn't loose. Checking the sender can be done by measuring the resistance across one of the pins and the...

    Forgot the wading plugs

    And the winner is... yep, was solenoid cable had gotten knocked off. So now the noisy parts work again.:D On the power loss front, checked the throttle cable adjuster and had a look through the top of the fuel tank, looked like nice clean diesel. Took it out for a quick run to see if the power...

    I think its coincidence but I think it can't be ruled out. Also on the list is to disconnect the turbo from the FIP and see what effect that has.

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Forgot the wading plugs

    Managed to confirm it really is loosing power/lacking power today going up 2 hills. Took the bleed screw out of the fuel filter and pumped the lift pump manually to see if its the lift pump, the nice splurge I got out the top of the filter would suggest the lift pump is OK, though it took a few...

    Forgot the wading plugs

    Well the wishful thinking is getting me along well... had a lovely loss of power this morning (couldn't get any revs), it came back after a couple of minutes of idle so I'm thinking I may have gotten myself some ****e in the fuel tank during my adventures (that this post came about from). Also...

    Forgot the wading plugs

    Gave my Landy a clean today and had a look underneath (as well as removing various bits of vegetation :oops:), there didn't appear to be a big build up of crud around the wading plug holes so will just have to see how it goes for now I suppose. Do need to give my breathers a blast out though...

    Indicator strange problems

    What state is the fuse in for the indicators? If the circuit is connected correctly the fuse should prevent the fire. Sounds like something is being shorted to earth. There are earth points in the rear tub in the rear corners. sometimes its easier/quicker to just re-wire (that's what I ended...
