TD5 WONT START, frozen?? diesel pump?

(1/3) > >>

footballshmootball:
so parked my disco 2 td5 up last night after a hour drive, went out this morning and wont start, turned over a few times then battery started dying. got the jump leads out and put ignition on and could hear the diesel pump making a noise like is could be frozen solid, to turned it over and it started for a few seconds then cut out. now its just turning over and over. its about -5-10 here. any obvious ideas??

william127:
try giving the fuel filter a few whacks with something heavy, then try and start it. if it works a new fuel filter could be needed. only takes a minute, so probably worth a try

disco2 td5:
try the fuel filter as surgested then cheack for oil in the red plug on the ecu if there is oil a new injector wire will be needed 35 -40 quid off ebay also sounds like your battery has seen better days
and sorry to state the stuid but has it been filled with petrol or is there plenty of diesel in the tank

footballshmootball:
yeah plenty of diesel, gave the filter a whack but will need to try again with another battery on

Ricky:
Probably just needs a new battery, TD5's are power hungry, i have seen them turn over briskly but not enough power to get the ECU to fire the injectors properly
