Title: 200tdi
Post by: Membrane on January 27, 2006, 13:10:30: Took rover for spin after 7 mile journey got home, engine really rough and wont idle. Mate has check injector and fuel is flowing.

Now engine will start but very eratic and cut out. No power but tries to rev then cuts out. I have replaced diesel and put in reddex diesel injector cleaner to no avail, has anyone got an idea what may be wrong?

I'm not sure if the 200's have one but check there's no sedimentor in the system, if so try draining the water out of it.
Could also be your lift pump, if this has gone then the engine wont be getting the right amount of fuel to run properly.

if its the lift pump you can check by removing Fuel Filter and it shuld be almost full if its lower most likes the lift pump or place ya finger on manual pump located on the side of lift pump and see if its pulsing etc
