To be honest I don't know exactly or how to check it. When the problem started the revs at idle were the same they have been for the past 9 years without a problem. I upped the revs a fair bit when testing, knocked them back a bit and the problem is back again. Won't hurt to have them refurbed...

Approx £50 each to get refurb from Diesel Bob.

After setting the idle to a sensible speed it's gone back to the same problem. The next cheapest option is injectors so have taken them out and sending them away. If no difference then the injector pump will be getting sent off.

2nd hand is the way to go.

I use Mahle filters without a problem but then how would you ever know? Just about everything is made in China, isn't it? For the price change both, pointless not changing both filters I would have thought. Edit: Buy genuine as its made in the UK, the sticker on the box is anyway. Amazing!

£20 from China, part is made in China anyway.

Knowing Land Rover it will have fallen off! Ebay I guess or buy a new one.

He wouldn't have been in distress if he wasn't an idiot.

Passed.

Hopefully nothing, currently sat watching my TD5 having its MOT.

The earth goes from battery to gearbox/transfer box, it branches of to the chassis rail near the gearbox. If you have no earth to chassis then that could be your problem. You need a heavy earth cable from engine or gearbox going to the chassis. Doesn't really matter too much where but the more...

I have just read the complete thread and you obviously have a lot more experience than me. There isn't really a lot more for you to change. Difficult really but I guess sometimes you need a specialised to test something properly. I understand the injector need to pop at a certain pressure and...

Sorry I have no idea, guess you could get just the one refurbished.

I bought a new Bosch battery once, put it on the car and worked lovely. A week later nothing, dead as a Dodo, got another one under warranty which was fine.

I just think it's a load of old poop designed to extract more money out of people.

The previous owner of mine had a new pump fitted as the gauge didn't work, going by the bill I am guessing it's not genuine. This fixed the problem for a while but the gauge started playing up after I left a deposit. He filled it up and knocked £500 quid off. Anyway it was pretty noisy but in...

Injector refurb are £48+vat each for 200tdi so I guess 300tdi are similar price, not too bad.

Get a test light and see which wire comes on with the brake light, extend it up to the bulb holder and earth the other side. Otherwise you could probably find a loom connector near the lower brake lights and follow the wire. Connectors look a bit green.

Took it for a test drive and seems to be ok, which is a bit strange. Although the idle is a tad high, going to put a few miles on it then drop the idle down a tad and see what happens.
