Discovery td5 knackered
td5 babe:
just a quick update
good news is the chain hasnt snapped or bolt come out of oil pump, chain tensioner has semi broke and dumped it in the oil pickup filter then the oil fed plunger that puts pressure on the tensior was jammed back which meant the chain was loose.
off comes front cover monday to look a bit deeper as found 4 large alli bits about 15mm sq & 4/5mm thick when put together theres a slight curve to it think this was found in the sump any ideas wat it could be ? piston?? casing ??
extreme90:

might give me a clue as ive been inside and rebuilt a few td5's now :P
td5 babe:
Whoop whoop i have my truck back yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy :D just need to sort the starting problem out now any ideas?
when turning the key it dosnt fire 1st time you have to purge the system even when warm but even then it struggles to start but then other times it starts 1st turn any ideas guys ???????
Disco Matt:
Does the TD5 have a fuel lift pump?
Mine went through a phase of being reluctant to start and then being very uncertain at idle or at low revs. Eventually traced it to a knackered lift pump, replaced that and all was well.
