300 tdi not starting!
Range Rover Blues:
Yes, but buy branded not hong-kong-fuey. I've had cheap ones last the day out, just :evil:

odd, I'm just going on experience of few 300tdi and a couple 200tdi's that I have relationships with. I drew conclusions from 300tdi's that I've had that the majority of them are driving around with the glow plugs burnt out looooong time ago and owners are non the wiser - dash light glows and relay timer clicks all the same with them working or not.

My sister's just needs a couple of them working to start but with none it flattens the battery before the engine will catch. It's probably got something to do with the compressionj pressure at cranking speed, I know hers has one cylinder with slightly higher pressure because I measured the piston projection when I did the head.

Thanks to everyone who helped diagnose my fault.
A new lift pump has fixed! £19 well spent.
