Hi, thanks for your response....I ended up solving the problem. It turned out to be the fitting on the end of the high pressure line from the pump outlet to the common rail. No matter how tight i got it, it was still leaking. It leaked even when the engine wasnt running and just the boost pump...

Hi everyone, I noticed a puddle of diesel on the ground under the car. On closer inspection I traced it up to the back of the diesel injector pump and there was a steady drip whilst the engine's running from what appears to be the Pressure Control Valve on the back of the pump. The problem is...

Ok....turned out to be a very cheap fix, but could have been a disaster....the noise kept getting louder and eventually I jacked up the back of the car and found I could undo the wheel nuts on the right rear with my fingers!....Tightened them back up, and noise stopped! I had a puncture...

Just checked all the exhaust and everything looks and feels fine. The sound seems like it happens every time the wheel does a revolution....

Ok, the noise is back and getting louder.....i hopped underneath and the UJ's seem fine....not hot or even warm and no movement.....quite a regular knocking/rattling noise if I just roll along either in gear or out. What's the easiest way to check if its the rear diff or rear axles?

Ok thanks for the info Patman.....its stopped making the noise! I think it only does it after a long drive on the freeway or similar. I got underneath and checked the UJ's which seem fine although a couple of weeks ago, i greased them and a few drops of water came out of one of them as the...

Hi Guys, My 2001 defender has just started making a rattle at low speeds (fairly sure it sounds like something in the rear end). Its noticeable whilst coasting to a stop or driving slow. Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks everyone, ive checked all the earths and they seem fine. The amplifier i was talking about is the small squarish box screwed to the side of the distributor with two wires coming out of it to the coil in a very hard to get to spot (could be the pick-up module???). The problem now is that...

Well, I've replaced the distributor cap, rotor and coil and it started straight away....i drove it for about an hour and then when i parked it, it wouldnt start again??? if I wiggle the wires coming from what i think is the amplifier it will then start and runs fine. Im not sure if i need to...

Thanx Nick, I get back home in a couple of days and i shall let you know how it goes. Thanx for the quick response. Marcus

:confused: Hi, I have a manual 1990 RR 3.9 LPG/petrol Recently i started it, moved it about 20metres and parked it where it stayed for 5 days. Yesterday, i tried to start it and the engine turned over fine (it has a new battery and starter motor) but it wouldnt start. I called up roadside...
