My disco has died !!!

I think it's fitted for when the fuel quality is rubish (other countries) but in the uk it should be ok .

I took mine off a few years back and have had no problems . I just cut the fuel lines with a pair of snips and pushed on a peice of 3/8 id fuel pipe and a couple of clips works fine and passed three mot's .

only do it if the steel elbows have rotted if they are ok try cleaning the sedimenter out and check that fuel is getting to the filter .

Take the filter off and pump the lift pump lever with a cup under the filter housing (the price of fuel you don't want to waste it)

From what others have said it may even be the head gasket or the turbo  :(

In which case i dont think ill bother  :roll: fixing it at all.

lee celtic:
If the head is bad enough that it wont rev then the oil would be milky white or you'd head a pssss noise in the engine bay ....

If the turbo has gone it would still rev up as the turbo won't  kick in until you hit 2000 rpm anyway and it would just be under powered  ...or you'd have clouds of smoke (james bond smoke screen type smoke)

the fact you say the oil is ok tells me not to listen to others and start with the easy stuff ... Air&fuel

You can even try just filling the fuel filter with fuel and seeing if it revs up if it does bingo .. might even be the lift pump ... but check the free stuff first then the cheap stuff then work your way up ,, Don't start with the doom and gloom expensive stuff it'll only depress you ....always Look on the bright side I say.. :lol:

loony landy:
It did have a really bad cloud of smoke yesterday when i refilled the oil and started it up also it has been underpower but i thought this was because if the auto box and the old diesel engine lol

loony landy:
Well things could be looking up abit, looks like i either have crud in my fuel line picked up from the tank after recent off road activity or the injector pump has packed in !!!!

Turbo had no play in it so that was good



just may need to track down a ijector pump
