Hello all just a quick update ecu,s in and being tested, as soon as i got any news i will let you all know. Rangy35 i replaced the fuel filter as one of my non start checks, as for the micro filter no but have never heard of it to be honest or to its location, cheers guys all your help is very much appreciated, Rod

Yep did the purge process twice before doing the test, but it did not hold the pressure when fuel pump switched off

Checked fuel pressure only got 1.5 bar, so will be taking pump out and sending back to bearmach for a replacement,

Got a spare fuel temp sensor I, m going to adapt into a pressure fitting

Right here we go,, the voltage drops to 10.74 volts on cranking, theres 2 volts ish from ckp sensor and as for the fuel pump still searching for a fitting for fuel temp sensor, I have checked continuity on all the wires up to ecu, will be getting ecu sent off to be checked tommorow, as there is still no pulse from injector harness.

dont worry guys i havent forgotten to update this thread, just having difficulty locating an adaptor for the fuel pressure reg,

Will check voltage drop, as for the pump a new one was fitted but sounds smooth in operation, put an oem one on it, will check f/pressure and report back, cheers for the help it is really appreciated.

Test fired the injectors last night and put a new battery on,a good head scratcher this one belive me, never had a vehicle give me this much grief before,at the mo its giving me more than the misses lol.

yes forgot to mention that one still no joy though,

its saying no dtc,s evident,

its not a problem sometimes daft questions spurn your memory to a possible cause lol

unfortunately not, if it was it wouldnt crank over, checked with hawkeye and it says that the security side of it is all working, wish it was that easy lol

Hiya peeps heres the next riveting instalment of big blue the disco refuses to start, well checked the fuses(each removed checked and replaced), checked the main relay(replaced with glow plug relay), and checked the earth rail by the ecu(removed earth eyelets, cleaned and refitted), also replaced the ckp sensor and carried out a continuity test on the wiring from ckp to ecu and all is good but still refuses to start, made a few calls today to try and locate a fuel pressure tester today, and this is next on my list to check, but i'm convinced that my problem is electrical and not fuel, as soon as i get any results from fuel pressure test i will post it on here, as for can link/can error i think it relates to an automatic disco and mine is manual, any other avenues that could be ventured would be tried and tested and reported back on cheers guys, bagpuss

Cheers sierraferry will try that tonight and let you know the out come, got to find fuel pressure teste now.

cheers guys your help is appreciated, gona try a ckp sensor tommorow and a few other tests, if i have any joy i will be posting results on here

the first thing i did was change them filters aswell, and as for the harness i changed that as the plug that goes into injector harness on underside of head fell to bits, so engine harness changed, was inspected before i fitted it, plugged node lights into injector harness and its not sending any signal to injectors to fire, but it cranks ok just doesnt start.

Hi it could be a lazy starter motor, as i have a similar problem, put a new battery on and its still the same, fitted recon starter and that sorted it, hth

Hi need some help big time, my discovery will not start (cranks fine), it all started with it becoming progressively harder to start, unknown to me that was the fuel pump on its way out, (new one now fitted), it then decided to stop and refuse to start (fuel pump finally dies) got it recovered home and borrowed the snapon modus to read the error codes, the usual air con ones in there (no air con fitted) and pre injection topside switch failure, (did some research and found it to be the ecu, second hand one sourced and fitted and synchronized). i have checked all the values from the different components on the engine management side of things according to the info on rave, i have also got a hawkeye which is throwing up a new fault of 0120 can error/can link fault, whilst i had the hawkeye connected i checked a few things one of them being the immobilizer and it showed up an open circuit, i have been told it could be the ecu and bcu but i have tried these on a mates td5 and they both work fine so that's them ruled out of the equation, would any of you landy gurus out there be able to shed some light on this for me, i am at my wits end with it, and the misses is giving me so much carp for spending all of my time on it and not with her lol, it may take all of my time but time well spent, and a landy dose'nt answer back, any help with the landy will be gratefully accepted, marriage guidance is something else.

cheers guys for all your help, ive got the cappings now so gona measure them up before i buy them to be 100% sure will let you all know but may be a while before i get round to doin it as i got to weld new spring mountings on and repair chassis first, once again cheers all,Rod

Hi guys i know this may be another stoopid flipping question (SFQ) but by any chance does any know if the body cappings off a 109 csw will fit the 110 csw as mine are the painted type and have been filled with gob (filler) and are beyond saving, i have a chance of a set of galv ones off a 109 so was just wondering if they were the same size cheers Rod

hiya buddie bin using bio in my 300 tdi now for about two months, the only down side is that it fills the street with smoke when you first start it up but after a short while (5 mins) of slightly increased idle it soon clears, at first i thought it was an injector problem so i had them checked and they came back ok, a mate of mine is also using it in his 200 tdi and has the same problem so to speak on start up but as to the emmisions side of it it does reduce it but not as much as you would like to think, as i am a mot tester and see plenty of landys coming in running on both, belive it or not a lot of the newer so called low emmisions vehicles are failing and the old landys pass no problem every time, any how enough of a madmans rambling hope this helps, Rod

yep injectors are fatter in a 200 tdi, but as far as im aware the heads will fit on either

firstly what sort of mileage is she doing as if she is not doing a great deal of mileage,(aka going to do her shopping or hair done three miles down the road) she is not getting the engine hot enough to burn off the condensation in the engine hense it congregates around the oil filler cap and in the cam cover, there is a tool you can use called a block tester you pour the blue soloution in it and and put the rubber bung end in the header tank and if the head gasget is gone it will turn the fluid either green or yellow depending on the severity of the leak, as for the spark plug blowing out was it put in properly and what sort of quality were they as i have had some (maily fords)blow the centre out of them, hope this helps Rod

Sorted exactly as you said, one of the four fuseable links had completely rotted away all back up and running now many thanks for your help nicedayforit it was worth its weight in gold

Thanks will give it a go tommorow morning and let you know what the out come is, cheers nicedayforit your help is very much appreciated
