That doesn’t sound good. I have spent over €3,000 on new parts for the refurbishment which are not going to be much use on a non running Td5! Thank you for your kind reply.

Unfortunately not she is currently a garden gnome. Had a fair few landy specialist out since and they can't even work it out.

Yeah I'm hoping for something stupidly simple but it's not going to be haha. Going to see if anyone has a hawkeye as the nanocom at the garage just won't pick up any faults on my disco.

Yeah that's the sound i describe as the wurring sound. It does that where it stops clicks and starts again.

This is the only clip I have on my phone of it cranking. For some reason it won't upload the 9sec vid

I can hear the pump and a wurring sound that intermittently stops and starts untill eml light turns its self off but no hissing what type off hissing like an air leak hissing or is that the wurring i hear.

Just tried it with the jump leads and my other running car and still nothing. I hope it's not the timing chain ect. Oh gosh haha.

Let's hope it's not some catastrophic failure and it's a timing issue

Multimeters can be had off Amazon etc for only about £10. Cheap and VERY useful. Best of luck with this, it'd be driving me round the bend if mine did this!:(

Ill try this is don't actually know why I didn't think of that. Thank you ill go try that now and let you know. Yeah it's driving me round the bend too I have had a few discos and always managed to fix them and get them running but this one...

As long as the rpm reading WHILE cranking is around 250 and there is 4 bar in the FPR(this must be measured with gauge to be 100% sure) can you feel any diesel smell at the exhaust? also would be good to see the battery voltage while cranking cos...

Ill have to see if I can get hold of a multimeter and check but I know cranking it is draining it so I have to put it on charge for the rest of the day and night. Can smell a little bit of it but can't see it if that makes sense there also...

So just to be clear, it starts on spray and it becomes driveable then after some driving it cuts out and absolutely no fault codes logged? if it's so and the fuel pressure was confirmed to be around 4 bar with a gauge instead of the FT sensor in...

N It doesn't drive as soon as you go to move off or even think about it, it dies it only survives on easy start for a couple seconds then goes back to just cranking. New fuel pressure regulator is apparently working fine. I'll get some copper...

for a non starter a specialist should have checked with nanocom the live rpm reading while cranking cos a sudden crank sensor failure can stop the engine while running then the ECU has not enough time to detect a code as it logs fault codes only...

Yeah they plugged the nanocom in while they were cranking it and nothing popped up i have put a new crank sensor in just incase it was that but still nothing. The reason I thought it was a fueling issue originally was because it starts when...

It needs proper diagnosis with a Nanocom or similar, but it is very weird that it suddenly stopped dead. That doesn't usually happen. Have you checked that the fuel shut off on the bulkhead, passenger side, designed to stop the engine in the...

Yeah it's had a nanocom put on it twice and nothing has came up so we are baffled. Yeah checked that and it's fine so are the wires. Even checked xyz switch and that's all fine too aswell as checking all the wires from ecu through the landy...

Did they check the battery? As, believe it or not, that can be the problem, even if it still cranks.

Yeah tha battery is healthy as that's what they thought of first but nothing put the new fuel pressure regulator on aswell and primed ect still just cranking.
