Never did get to do any Herts lanes ...and every time there's a GLASS pub meet, hubby is out if the bleddy country :rolleyes: So I'm wrapping my hand in , Betsy is for sale and hopefully I can stop worrying about whether she'll still be there in the morning or whether some scumbag has nicked her!!:)

So we found a great garage to look over the LR ...chap did loads of tests of fuel pump , printing pump, fuel lines, filters , battery ...he thought he'd cracked the prob, but she's back to reluctant firing again, so his diagnosis and that of the main dealer is injectors ...trouble is , he says...

Dunno what's wrong with kids these days .....still got the pics of him starting that lovely Series with the ol cranking handle ....tch , if he's gone down the freelander road then yes I think the sun has addled his brain.:D Ian brought Betsy home last night for a run out ...the bugger nearly...

Thank you so much , I'll look them up ....I've been up towards Tring so I kinda know the road, which is reassuring ... .....it ain't like Cornwall here that's for sure ...too many effing cars everywhere ...not like my run out to the Lizard where there's three cars and a John Deere lol :D

Ooh I'll look them up. Really want to get her sorted, only driven her once since I've been here, as I'm too worried about getting stuck somewhere ( especially if Ian is abroad) so she's holed up on the camp ...st least being in the multi- storey , my water ingress issues are on hold lol :D:D I's...

Hi Brian ...I'm pretty sure that the garage tested the fuel pressure and it was ok ...in my mind it is making a hell of a lot more noise than it should be ( and what I'm used to hearing from it) . There's no way on this earth I'm going to be able to sort it myself so I'll just have to try and...

It did help in theory ....I know everything can be fixed ...its just getting the right diagnosis ...the main dealer did mention injector replacement etc ...but as the fuel pump is so noisy ( but is delivering fuel) I don't really want to go off on some random direction when really they can't say...

Can any of the Herts crew recommend a Landy man/ garage with all the gear and plenty of ideas to get Betsy's starting issues sorted before they get any worse?:oops:

OMG the Land Rover toolbox is addictive :D Going to need to find a really knowledgable landy man/ garage in Herts ...without sounding offensive , I think that the main dealer is only interested in new vehicles and if there's no codes coming up then I need to find a TD5 man who's seen it all...

Thanks neilly I'll go take a look ....haven't done the fuel purge, but I am aware of the procedure so I'll give that a go too. Muds

Hello all who walk this hallowed turf :D Any ideas on TD5 starting probs. Turn the key ...listen to the fuel pump ( whines like a half dead dog!) Then engine turns ...and turns ...and turns ..then eventually fires ..but dies ... So I turn it again ...and it eventually splutters into life. Once...

lol yeah just a bit, although you can't beat living on granite - all that rain just runs off - here is gonna be like a bog in winter on all that heavy clay soil :eek: "note to self" may need mud tyres :D

Yep - about a month ago ...Mr got pinged for a job in NATO - he's still in the Navy though ...bit different from sunny Kernow though ...it's actually sunny for a start lol :D

Oh , that's all right then ...someone knows where I am!:D 2 weeks till I go back to Cornwall to pick up Betsy, then we'll be out for some gentle country lanes, highways n byways :cool:

Been in Bushey for 3 weeks now, which is defo in Herts but I haven't really got a clue where I am :D

Nice one ...I do so hate taking stuff to the tip! I shall let you know a delivery time ...any time good for you?

Anybody on here in the Herts/Beds/Bucks club? Web site is ' under construction' atm, but any info would be great. Thanks Muds ;)

Anybody want an old 90 bumper with end caps? She's a lickle ickle bit rusty underneath, but would do as a spare .......or a barn door prop, hedge gap filler???? :D

Looks like Hubs might be working at an HQ there, between Watford and Harrow, place called Northwood. Nothing confirmed yet but he's been sort of head hunted so I guess it's on the cards.
