Defender 300tdi - why has it died?!

(1/3) > >>

horsepower:
My engine died whilst out on the road.


* Battery fine – fully charged and no poor connections
* Starter motor turns engine, no nasty noises, all belts (including timing) appear intact
* Rockers seem to be moving fine
* Fuel in tank, no air trapped in the lines/filter
* Fuel pump seems to be working, injectors all spraying into cylinders (so doesn’t seem to be stop solenoid)
* Compression seems fine (tested with thumb over plug holes)
* Glow plugs are all scrap – but the engine has always started first time since I’ve had it, and they wouldn’t stop the engine running
Could it be part of the fuel system not working under pressure?

Why would it just stop - with no warning noises or vibrations?

Anyone?

biggerlandy:
do a compression test or has belt slipped only takes about 2 teeth then wont start

horsepower:
Cheers fo that, will let you know what I find.
Thanks, Andy

take top hose off the inlet manifold
a pressure pipe could have de-laminated ( common with age) and cut off its air supply
no air, no go
was it sluggish before it stopped?
or just stop dead ?
did it happen whilst changing down the gears ?
cam bolts shear sending the cam back into the block ( happend to one of my 200's), which results in lost timing
although mine still ran.....some how  :?
ill get a pic now of the cam and timing gear
its impressive  :lol:
