Just a thought but could this be too much pressure?? Causing the diesel to combust early?

Just tested my TD5 due to a cylinder in balance. cylnder1: 460psi 31.72 bar 2: 440 30.34 3: 440 30.34 4: 440 30.34 5: 435 30.00 the difference in cylinder 1 is 5% so I'm still happy with that. Guessing I've got an injector problem since they look ok,

Really good news, it started .. YAY. I went back over everything and found a major balls up, two, yes ladies and gents, two of the fuel filter pipes weren't pushed on all the way, so its probably been sucking air every time I purged and cranked it.. My brothers disco is back together and...

What RPM should it crank at?

No, afraid not. The strange thing was that it was cranking really really quick, but the nanocom was only showing 270rpm, thinking of changing the TDC sensor?

OK, so I've jumped it from my brothers disco, the engine RPM was 270 on the Nanocom and the battery voltage was 11.3. I've heard that the voltage shouldn't drop below 10V and that it won't fire below 300rpm, is that right? cheers, Huw

Cheers for the reply, I know it's run since the gearbox work, but I'll check the sensor hasn't moved and I'll try the nanocom engine speed. Think I'll have to talk my brother into bump starting it,

I looked at this but It doesn't smell of diesel at the exhaust. if it was low compression it should be pushing diesel out the back, and you'd think at least one of the cylinders would have enough compression, cheers, Huw

Thanks for the reply, I'm waiting for my brother to put his TD5 back together and he'll give me a jump, Is there no way of bleeding it after the regulator? Cheers Huw

I'm hoping someone has an idea because I'm running out fast, I've got a 99 TD5 which was starting fine, we've done some work on it including a new gearbox and clutch. One day after turning it round on the drive I did some work on the rear brakes (changed a calliper), my brother changed the...
