Bleeding the diesel system
robbie:
Thanks Lads, I am thinking the option to tow it is the easiest, I can drag it with the Disco.... I have heard the 2.5 N?A is a bit of a pig to bleed through
hobbit:
You need to locate the bleed screws in the system, fuel filter, then the injector pump, as one becomes running with clean no bubbles diesel, nip it up before you stop pumping, after you have the fuel running at the top of the injector pump bleed screw and tightened, crack the 4 injector nuts on the injector ends, and turn the engine over until the fuel squirts out them, tigten 2 of them and try to start it, all being well it should fire, if it does and if the other 2 are squiting diesel as well nip them up and [-o< she should run on all 4.
If you can bleed up to the top of the injector pump, and she wont start, flat battery or whatever reason, drag the flamin thing round as described above until brum brum occurs (with injector nuts tight), although some presfer 1st gear hi I tend to use second with a diesel
good luck, and do not hit with hammer :wink:
