Can anyone think as to a reason to why the fuel pump won't stop priming? Sounds like its not doing it any good.

Not quite true, modern diesels can keep powering glow plugs even after start, and before start, the light is just a comfort blanket/making sure minimal status for starting.
Ah righto well there you go rookie mistake then I just assumed after lights off they are off. It makes sense though as I'm sure they may require the glow for a bit longer in some situations, maybe not here though in the 40°c+ weather it has been lately 🤣
Cheers Bowie 👍👍

Classic symptoms of a starter solenoid on the way out. If you can’t source the kits in AUS, and they take a long time to import, you’ll have to buy a whole starter, and end up repairing your original one as a spare.
I've been on the hunt for a kit but not much luck for a quick delivery. I am meant to be driving 4.5 hours back to work in two days so I will see what my options will be for it and go from there. Very good idea though i will be doing that just to be safe for the future.
Cheers for your help, greatly appreciated 👍

Also will add, after a quick 5 minute drive to the shop it wouldn't start to come back home had to bump start it to get it back, then the next day it started fine. Then after a 1.5hr drive had no luck starting the next time and thats where im at now.
Cheers guys appreciate the help already hope you all had a nice Christmas!

The one volt drop could just be the glow plugs, they do draw a fair chunk of current.
Yeah I thought the same but I thought the volts should go back up after the glow light goes out which it doesn't at this stage.

Best to check all connections to the battery: the big 12V cable, the earth to chassis and engine etc.
Hey Escape i will follow the cables back and check conditions and connection points just to make sure they are all in good order.

Contacts on the starter motor solenoid. You can buy a rebuild kit with a bigger contact area.
Will try and clean the contacts otherwise I will order a kit such as you sent, cheers Maverick 👍👍

Hey guys my 1999 td5 110 is not cranking due to a strong draw on the battery approx 13v before turning key to glow plugs etc then drops to 12v when key is turned. The fuel pump doesn't seem to stop making its noise just sounds like its maxing out and just keeps on going is a new pump with a new relay, i tried different relay but no luck. Tried a new charged battery and no crank still, a couple of times at the start it did turn over but not long enough to fire just a quick burst.
Any help is appreciated started fine on bump start, unsure where to look next.
Cheers 👍

Anyone in Perth Western Australia have a td5 fuel line nipple that goes into the fuel pump, snapped the far right black line when putting the tank back in.

G'day guys im looking at getting a pop top camper conversion done to my 110, has anyone got one done in Perth before? If so who did you go through and what is it like? I've seen 1 shop over east that does them but its such a trek to get it done.
Cheers

Only fit the VDO, don't bother with anything else. They usually come with a new tank seal which is the only thing you might replace.
If you're dropping the tank, be very careful with the clip in fuel pipes- they get a bit brittle with age, it's easier to break them dropping the tank and they are very expensive to replace. Probably worth labeling each pipe before removal so they go back in the same order.
VDO it is then haha only heard good things about them over others. Alright yeah I saw a new set of fuel pipes was almost 300 bucks, will definitely label will save alot of hassle.

Cheers hurbie I agree I like my floor as it is, I was going to get the vdo pump are there any seals or hoses etc you'd suggest changing while doing the job?
