It did cure the starting issues at the time. But a few weeks later we also replaced the starter motor, fuel lines, filter housing, FPR and gasket. The sodding vehicle is a gift that keeps on giving.

Thanks mate - dod this cure it?

I'm going to put my nuts on the block by suggesting it's air in the fuel lines. My lads TD5 90 had this, and we bled the lines via a fuel pressure tester, screwed into the fuel temp sensor port. The diesel we released was foamy, due to the amount...

I am a long way form an expert on the td5 but I thought in a defender you could just hear the fuel pump in a td5 and that was normal. It is sudden changes in the noise that are worrying not just being able to hear it? unlike the discovery there...

Well I replaced the fuel lines from the fuel filter to the pump and surprose surprise the noise is still there. The only thing left to look at is the engine side of the fuel system. I replaced the Fuel Pressure Regulator a couple of years ago...

I replaced fuel lines on mine but this was several years ago so I don't remember exactly what I did. However, I remember they came rather like yours, with the clips in a separate bag. I don't remember it beign a major problem - I just pushed them...

Hi everyone My noisy TD5 fuel pump mystery continues. I know its not the pump (Ive replaced it 3 times including a VDO one) - the new one is quiet for 24 hours then goes noisy again. Ive replaced the fuel filter and checked the air bleed filter...

I would give them a jolly good clean first to see if they connect better, if you haven't already.

Right - after much more research and deliberation I reckon the all the issues have come since I replaced the fuel filter housing a month or so ago. The connectors were a real pain to get off and I wonder if one or more of them are now damaged...
