Title: 2.5td Wont start....urgent help
Post by: Cherokee on March 25, 2008, 17:25:52

Hello guys,

I had a diesel leak from the injectors which was promptly fixed... they had come loose and were spraying diesel around the engine bay, tightened them up last night and all was fine, came to start her up today and she turns over but wouldn't start...any ideas...now having to recharge battery as I have flattended it through cranking over... :huh:

The high pressure fuel lines may need bleeding.

Thats all I can think, air in system or dodgy diesel...maybe diesel in electrics..?...anybody else have any ideas?

Update...I am cold ...wet and stink of diesel..still not 100% sure but the fuel filter/diesel housing opens and pisses out diesel on turning the engine over, I am robbing a housing off an LDV van a mates braking and I can bleed through and start again until I have sorted that bit can't go any further, I will report in on the great diesel saga tommorow... :shock:

Good AT's are getting close to Muds ..Would suggest BFG MT's (KM2 :shocked: : :drool:) but Goodyear MTR's are rated too

Deffo a transfer case skid plate  and front rear recovery points as well....if you go laning worst potential damage might be scratches but there is a cure for that (lol).....no one I know wants to come home on a tow truck...
