yeh turns over fine, normal starting speed, just doesnt fire up after been run for a while.

Right sorted the fuel starvation problem, another issue now. when it has been run and for a long journey and turned off it wont start again, any ideas on this one, if you leave for 1hr or so if fires up again no probs, anybody come across this one before.

Yeh that's fairly obvious TBH but a defender 90 300tdi doesn't have a sedimenter. will do Moss

Also its a Defender not a Disco

Cheers Steve been on holiday for a bit so gonna try and sort it this week. if i have any problems Ill keep you posted thanks for the advice Moss

It is fine if your drive steady, its when you put your boot down is when it loses power. btw graeme is my father. we have had lift pump off and that is bang on. the turbo is also sound. do 300tdi have a sediment collector?? Moss
