'Missing' Turbo
Evilgoat:
Found it
£!"£%£$% thing!
Whilst doing the fuel filter I must have moved a hose too far. I'm loosing fuel pressure between the lift pump and fuel filter, hose has failed on the union on the lift pump.
Is it actually possible to do anything on a Disco without breaking something else :( Second time I've been cuaght by a rotten fuel line. I feel I night be ordering up lots of hose on payday and doing all of it.
Candidates for renewal seem to be from the lift pump to the fuel pump and fuel filter. Fuel filter to main pump. Spillways and return lines. Actuator feed for the turbo and fuel pump looks like its made from the same stuff so that can get done too. Guess I should check the servo hose while I'm in there.

ye it is possible to fix something on a disco without breaking something else all you have to do is remove everything around it first.....simple
i replaced my clutch master cylinder so then my slave went, i replace my altenator so then my starter broke, i replaced a uj so the other one went and the list goes on and on
the way you have to look at it is you dont buy a landrover if your not prepared to love it and fix it constantly it is not a sound as a pound relibale car from a dealer it should be your love child :roll:
so in the nicest possible way deal with it and enjoy it or sell it and buy a vw passat

I started off doing a fairly simple, cheap job, replacing my glow plugs but snapped one off. I ended up taking the cylinder head off to get the snapped bit out and while the head was off I found a knackered rocker shaft and knackered rockers...this job is turning out costing more and taking longer than I planned....
