    Running out of fuel

    in Discovery Forum

    Posted

    Hi

    Just a follow up on the problem I had with the TD5 seems to run out of fuel, diffcult to restart, lots of smoke on restart, and then cuts out again.

    New injector loom fitted cleaned red plug no change

    New fuel pump fitted no change

    New fuel filter and housing with new air bleed valve. no change

    New crank sensor fitted no change

    New injector washers and seals fitted no change.

    The problem turned out to be the fuel regulator I did not change this as some guys on the forum said " there is no need to change the reulator

    unless it's leaking" so i asumed mine was ok as no leaks where visible. The guys at my local Land Garage say the the regulator sticks and

    looses fuel pressure. So if any one has this problem and looking at the forum there seems to be a few. Check the regulator first, before spending

    loads of money on spares that's are not need.

    Can I suggest that anyone who has resolved any problems, post the reslts of the fix on the forum, so we can all see what the problem was

    and how to fix it.

    Fuel issue

    in Discovery Forum

    Posted

    Hi All

    My land rover discovery 2 td5 has a fuel issue, it's difficult to start, once started runs fine, no dash lights, but after a mile it seems to

    run out of fuel, carry out the purge ( 5 pumps) takes ages for the engine light to stop flashing, when you try and start it, it churns over

    and try's to start with clouds of black smoke from the exhaust, then finally starts. After fitting new fuel pump started and ran fine for two days

    then when I went up a steep hill stopped half way up.

    Tried so far.

    New fuel harness

    new fuel pump

    cleaned ecu red plug

    copper washers just arrived fitting Monday.

    Any one had the same problem, any fixes or advice would be welcome.

    Regards

    3 Amigos

    Hi All

    If anyone is interested in a ABS Amigo V1-USB from RSW Solutions I have one for sale. Its a diagnostic tool for the Land Rover Discovery 2

    and TD5 only. You can seen how it works on the RSW web site on You tube. It resolved my problems, as after many hours of searching for the

    ABS fault, and replacing most of the ABS system and brakes, purchased this from RSW in the USA and found the problem first time, it appears that some ABS leads that are not OEM are a tad longer 05mm and rub on the ABS pickup causing the fault, a small fibre washer resolved the problem

    6 months on no lights. This ABS Amigo does not reset the fault codes only finds them.

    Also have a Land Rover Becker sat nav with discs and antenna removed from a 2003 TD5 but will fit any Discovery TD5 with a small addition of a speed wire

    connected from under the steering wheel and spliced into the sat nav harness, easy job. See TD5 web site for details.

    interested offers to phenix@manx.net

    TD5 Horn and Cruise Control

    in Discovery Forum

    Posted

    Hi all

    Got a real headache with my 2001 TD5, the horns and cruise control have stopped working, checked all connections to the horns an cruise control, both work when direct power is applied no vac leaks, changed rotary coupler in steering wheel, but still no joy. Has anyone ever had this problem as there seems to be a lot of threads on the web but no one has had a result.

    The only thing I can think of is the rotary coupler I got from Ebay may be duff, so I will try another one, but in the mean time anyone any ideas.

    Regards

    Hi All

    Got a problem with my Disco 2 TD5, the ignition lock keeps jamming, the key will go in but not turn. when you try and start the car, needs a new ignition barrel lock. Question do I need to get the keys from the new barrel lock coded, or is it a straight swap, or will I have to keep my old door keys, any advice welcome.

    Regards

    Hi

    Had into the workshop for diagnostic check, nothing found no fault codes recorded,they

    removed battery and let it stand 20mins, reconnected battery no lights, 48hrs later

    still no sign of lights, mechanic says I have the TD5 gremlin in the ECU recommends

    I try a second hand ECU, and see if it cures the problem.

    2,5 turbo diesel

    Hi

    If's it's the 2.5 BMW engine they tend to blow the head gasket,

    and there is no sign of oil in the water, but the crankcase gets pressurised with the exhaust gasses

    and oil is blown out of the dip stick.

    Remove the filter that comes out of the cylinder head and

    see whats coming out, on mine it waster, oil & steam.

    I cured mine with K Seal and it worked for 2 years and then I sold it still working ok.

    Hope this helps

    Hi All

    Just finished installing a Becker BE4765 sat nav unit into my Discovery TD5 2001,

    the unit is working but wont configure after the 3 mile run.

    I have been told it needs a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) input to the unit,

    can anyone tell me where the VSS pickup is.or the colour of the wires.

    This unit was removed from a 2003 facelift Discovery, as my Discovery is a 2001 its

    possible i do not have the corredt VSS.

    Regards

    Hi All

    I had the problem of the fuel lines rubbing on the chassis 2001 TD5 and leaking,

    renewed the fuel lines all four, the problem is the pipe that leads to the engine

    passes through the chassis and conects to the pump via a square plug, since i had the work done

    the connector keeps blowing off, engine fails and dumps fuel on the road, three times now

    has any one had this problem and is there a cure, dont fancy changing the main fuel line.

    Regards

    Hi

    You need a hot start kit from Ebay around £20 fitted in 10 mins.

    Common fault with the BWW RR my one was the same started first thing

    then refused to start when warm.

    The kit fools the ECU that the car is cold, works a treat no futher

    problems.

    Regards

    Hi All

    Thinking of upgrading my series 2 Disco with the newer 03 headlights,

    does anyone know if it is a straight swap, or does there have to be some cutting

    to get them to fit.

    I have seen from TD5 Alive that you have to alter the wiring, so any help

    or advice would be helpfull.

    Discovery 2 TD5 Side Steps

    in Discovery Forum

    Posted

    Hi All

    I have just purchased a Discovery 2 TD5 XS, and I want to fit some side steps

    but having a little difficulty gaining the correct information before spashing the cash.

    On the TD5 there is a kind of step made of plastic with a built in mud plap, and it is

    secured to the vehicle by a series of plastic studs, is this step removed in order to

    fit the new steps or is the new steps fitted over it, if so is the front mud flap removed

    as the new steps come with front mud flaps.

    Any information or fitting instructions would be gratefull.

    Regards

    Brian
