A must!!!!!

Thanks A2103, life has to go on I guess. It is incredible how quickly your world can unexpectedly turn upside down though. My poor Landy has been virtually parked up for the best part of 24 month, just the occasional little drive. People have often asked me why I’ve not sold it, but I have to...

Thanks Disco for taking the time to explain. Actually I’ve checked the Mileage today, I’m on 90 odd...

I agree but battery life is approximately 5-10 years. Both extortionately expensive to replace and dispose of. As I say, I’m not opposed to electric, I just don’t feel that the infrastructure is in place, nor will be for the next 15-20 years. I think we should be looking at making the combustion...

To be honest I never realised that he had, I’ve been away for a while due to personal reasons.

Also check for any water ingress that caused a bad connection.

Make sure you have the correct bulb in. I accidentally put wrong one in (clear indicator bulb) and had the exact same issues. Lights are on but brake light on nearside wouldn’t work.

lynall what can I say..? I think if people take the time to ask a question, then they should be prepared to end the thread with an explanation of a the outcome. Don’t get me wrong, I think we’ve all been guilty of that at sometime or another, but on the whole, long term members are the ones who...

I will check internal and external diameter and order one. For that price you can not complain. Will be interesting to see what effect it will have, Im not 100% sure it will make a big difference other than fuel consumption, which is already rather good, as as the system is self bleeding between...

Great idea Lynall, I think I have some brass bar that I could cut down on the lathe. Do you think this may account for the Landy’s performance drop.

A small video - It’s clearly noticeable now that I’ve been touching the pipes. any thoughts?

We have progress.... I was rechecking and checking again all of the fuel pipes as advised. Obviously they have some minor wear where they had been touching other pipes. No holes obvious, but some wear to the pipe exterior. However, when turning the engine over and physically moving the pipes, I...

Very useful thanks!

Is that genuine....?

I’ve carefully inspected all pips in the fuel system and everything appears to be in good order. I have also changed the lift pump for a new Delphi one. To test this was working, I removed the pipe and depressed the lever 4 or 5 times and more than enough fuel came out. My hunch is still a...

Injectors have done approximately 130.000 miles. Under what is recommended, but I have such a strong smell of diesel in the cab.

I think I tend to agree. I will look at silicone ones only if they do them in black, I’m not one for bling. Alternatively, are the standard rubber reproduction ones acceptable. I will look to get a gauge setup to give a more informed understanding of boost. The plenum is generally clean...

I was just querying why they had opted for that split pipe at the end.

It was my pic, but mine is a 300TDI.

I was opening it up at the FIP, but achieving very little. That would explain why however. I think this issue is now looking like an injector or a split diaphragm issue.
