HELP TD5 DEFENDER VERY POOR STARTING
ragerover:
ive a 2000my td5 90
it was a good starter until recently then it was poor 10% of the time
took ages to crank over, other 90% of the time started first hit
ive just had a clutch and fly wheel fitted by a local garage he noticed the fuel pressure regulator was leaking into the bell housing so this was replaced
got it back had to be cranked over for about 2 mins before it would finally go
he checked fuel pressure and it was slightly low and the pump was a bit noisey so it was suggested that maybe the pump had knackered as it was over pumping due to the regulator leaking
new pump fitted new filter
primed the pump
now nearly impossible to start needs cranking over and over
scared to take it out in case i get stuck some where
nearly new battery , new glo plugs 5000 miles ago
used to run great
Landy Andy:
Once started does it then start better?
Could it be that air is getting into the fuel system, and causing the fuel to go back to tank, and is self priming before starting?
Could be on the fuel filter, or a joint.
Does that make sense???????

Hi Martin...
Could possibly be air... have a good look around the fuel filter housing... they have a habit of cracking/becoming porous.
Another possibilty is you need new injector seals. Cheap enough and easy to change with the correct tools.

hi ian
ill check the fuel filter housing would i see any deisel leaking out at the housing
ill try and get some one to do the seals
what about crank sensor ??i had that fail on a car a while back
ive had so much grief with the td5 i some times whish id stuck with the 200 tdi
except when its running its like a rocket thanks to porny
lofty134:
I had the same problem with my 1999 td5 a few weeks ago after i had a new fuel pump and filter fitted.
I primed the system a few times using the unofficial way of pumping throttle 5 times with ignition on and leaving the ecu to do the work.
I did this process twice and now it seems fine.
Hope this helps
