Defender 90 300tdi County in Firenze Red REDUCED £14000 The time has come! The puma I'm wanting to purchase from a family friend will be available in 3 weeks so I now must list my Defender, it has just passed its MOT and had a full full service, all oils, filters, fluids, flush and glow plugs...

UPDATE So it turns out it was the starter motor??? Been swapped out and working okay now but the boost noise is suddenly a lot louder when accelorating. The intercooler noises havent been taken off so not sure this would start, it was more of a boost whistle before but now its a lot louder...

Only used it twice about 4 weeks ago as old glow plugs were giving up. Tried the engine this morning still not cranking at all not even a splutter - the lever on the lift pump is not giving much resistance either - must be very bad timing with the lift pump going at the same time as the service...

Just seen a Britannica Restoration video with a 300 tdi same issues as mine - no fuel coming out the bleed screw when the engine is running/revving so he took the fuel cap off and that helped pressurise the fuel system and out came the air bubbles of the fuel filter bleed screw. Worth a try? If...

@tottot That's what Im thinking - strange timing!

Could possibly be just bad timing and the fuel lift pump has gone at the same time then? The lever is quite slack and Ive left it in the up position when the engine finally cranks and its running great. But still no fuel spurting through with the bleed screw open so low pressure on the fuel...

Possibly a bad fuel filter then? Allowing a small amount of air in. The fuels not coming out at all on idle or with some revs when I leave the bleed nut open to try and help bleed it, no bubbles or fuel at all. Can only think its the filter or lift pump, but not sure why the lift pump would...

Gave the 90 a good winter clean...

Same here, not a good day to be fiddling on the defender - bloody freezing this morning!

Thanks @tottot - Ive just got it started again - Opened the bleed screw and pumped the lever - still nothing coming out. Im leaving the lever at its high position also. Tried the engine again and it had a very rough idle and died, turned over again with accelerator and started again but very...

Ahh I see, I'll give it another go later.. so if pump has no resistance - turn engine to get on cam - the open fuel filter bleed screw and try the lever to pump again, Im guessing fuel should start come out the bleed screw no bubbles/froth.

Just a note the lift pump lever is not giving any resistance when Im pumping it with the engine off and on. Could the diaphragm be faulty inside? Still not sure why it needs the accelerator down to start though??

Yeh was fine - Ive spoke to Mark at LRS who said to bring it back Monday and he can check it over, just wanted to check if there was anything simple I could check? Before it went into service the engine was struggling to start due to bad glow plugs, so I used some easy start on the plenum, then...

Sorry, 300 tdi

So picked up the 90 from Mark @ LRS after its full service etc, car was a little lumpy to start Mark said it could be a bit of air in the fuel filter from the service, gave it some accelerator pedal and off we go, drive home the engine felt as good as it ever was, everything felt nice and tight...
