My disco has died !!!

(1/3) > >>

loony landy:
Went out in it today and it started to idle irratically,then it cut out.  Restarted the engine and it runs ok for a short while then if you select drive it cuts out around 1500rpm.

Checked oils/water/fliuds and all fine there.

Any ideas ??

lee celtic:
what engine are you running??? 200 300 v8 or mpi???

loony landy:
Sorry should have said...300tdi.

Think its a fuelling problem, as i went off roading at the weekend and the local land rover guy says he thinks its shaken all the gunk loose in the tank and its gone through the system.

So i will have to clean the sedimenter thingy, change the fuel filter,clean the injectors and then find a way into the tank to clean the pick up.

Does anyone know if there is an inspection hatch on the tank ???

Also how do you clean the injectors ??

lee celtic:
also check the elbow joints on the sedimentor as these rust through and let air into the system.. if they have gone just cut it out of the system and by pass it with a bit of fuel pipe and two jubilee clips :dance:

I had this a couple of years ago there was enough fuel to start it but one press on the peddle  and it died.... :lol:

loony landy:
Similar to what its doing now, it starts, runs lumpy then the minute you touch the pedal wnts to cut out then does!

Is the sedimenter not needed then ??
