It's basically the diesel tank equivalent of algae. Biological matter that grows in the diesel. The vehicle has been stood for nearly 4 years so without any agitation or fresh fuel its probably provided ideal growing conditions. It's not that uncommon. Some of the more expensive fuels have...

The voltage dropped about 1.5V while cranking. My gut feel was it's a fuelling issue (given it would only attempt to fire while bumping at full throttle and high revs) so having worked through the easy/obvious stuff I pulled the pump out of the tank. It was noisy and I was suspecting it's...

Thanks again for replying Sierrafery. I will check the voltage while cranking tomorrow when I go back to the vehicle.

Thanks for the reply Sierraferry. I did initially try it without touching the throttle but it wouldn't fire at all. I then tried it with the throttle open which got it to fire but then took my foot off the peddle and it died instantly. The only way it would run was with the throttle fully open...

I tried bumping it off today and it managed to fire but only just. The battery was fully charged and showing 12.7 volts when towing. I let th eclutrch up in second and it span up to around 1750rpm and ran very lumpily with the throttle fully open. At either lower RPM (tow speed) or anything...

Brilliant, thanks for the reply. Its a new battery and fully charged and was only showing 220 rpm at the first attempt. Voltage was 12.7. The crank position sensor speed reading was stable with no apparent interference/fluctuation. so I thought it was ok. The starter sounded pretty quick so I...

Back on the TD5 Defender, this time with a nanocom and I'm still struggling to get it to fire. It's had a recon gearbox before I got to it. when I put the Nanocom on it was showing zero RPM while cranking. I discovered the CPS was not plugged in DOH. Multiplug connected and it's now showing...

I'm trying to enter the code into the radio and the manual states to use preset buttons 1234 to enter the code. Thats fine, code entered then it says 'to complete the entry the RND button must be pressed;. The RND button is preset button 3 and so just alters the 3rd digit in the code. I've...

thanks for the replies guys, sounds like i need to order a nanocom then. Ta

Been having another play with the 2000 TD5 defender today and it's obvious I need a code reader as per the advice in the fuelling issue thread. I've ben having a look at what appear to be the main condendors, both new and used: GAP ID, Hawkeye, Nanocom, Empire tuning just map it tool. I'm...

Thanks very much for the response, I'll try giving it a tow and see if that does anything and if not then I'll try and source a scanner.

Following on from my TD5 wont start thread, I've had the ECU checked and it is fine, I've replaced the injector harness but still the vehicle refuses to fire (or even attempt to) and even after cranking for a while shows no smoke from the exhaust. The fuel pump runs, when I remove the spill...

Thanks for the reply Anaconda. I've got a 2014 puma plus a an L322 that I'll need a diagnostic tool for to include key coding so is there a particular brand that is worth looking at other than Icarsoft?

Hi I'm currently messing around with a TD5 defender that has been stood for a number of years due to it not starting (or firing) because of a fuel issue. I've powered it up and the pump runs and delivers fuel up to the regulator on the head. I've had a look at the ECU and there is some oil on...

Thanks for the info folks. I've got a battery but my ****y portable machine mart brake pipe flaring tool wouldn't touch the OE steel lines so I've not got round to bleeding it yet. Picked up a blue point hydraulic flaring tool last night so hopefully that will be man enough to flare the steel...

Thanks for the replies guys. Thanks for the doc links Marjon, thats really useful, as is the info about the manual on FullfatRR. I've made a start on putting it back together today, hopefully I should get it ready to bleed tomorrow. The battery is flat and won't accept a charge so I'll have to...

Due to the sudden death of a friend I have inherited a 2011 RR autobiography ultimate which is parked on a 4 post lift with no front brake pipes He had quite a lot of vehicles so parked this up to swap the corroded front discs (lack of use) and decided to change the brake lines at the same...

Thanks guy's, I'll check those areas tomorrow when I'm off work.

I've got an early 200tdi disco which up untill recently has been faultless and started immediately with or without heat as all myother tdi's have done. It now takes a few seconds of cranking to fire, a situation that seemed to have materialised pretty much over night. Filters are all ok and...

cool, more good info. Thanks Hughesy. It's starting to sound a bit easier than I envisaged which is always a bonus.
