treebloke Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 TD5 just cut out while driving down the road and now refuses to start. Definately got fuel in the tank. Changed flywheel sensor just in case it was that. Checked engine loom for oil and thats clear. Checked all main fuse's beneath drivers seat ok. Charged battery just in case it was that, engine turns over but starter is a bit lazy to begin with then picks up. Checked air filter clear. Had a service about a month ago but been running ok. I guess its electrical because it just stopped as opposed to spluttered. ??????????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Fuel pump pressure? (IE Pump failure or pressure sensor failure). I'm just recalling what seem to be frequent posts on the Blackbox Forum. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GL88 Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Not sure which one but there is a relay under the seats that seems to be a common culprit for this (as per this old note). http://www.web-rover.co.uk/nav.php?p=td5kb/intmt_cutout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 been wading? will it bump start? your white td5 didnt want to start post wading at the DRD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calle-fas Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 From what I was told by a Finish LR mechanic it can be the yellow relay under the right hand seat. He also said that it can be the "rollover sensor" mounted on the bulkhead just under the bonnet. A simple push with a finger will reset that.

You have a bloody good memory James. Its Dans truck and he was on his way home, tried a bump start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushed the little button on the roll over sensor just in case it was that but it made no difference. We looked at the relays and they are a bit dirty from various dunkings so I think changing that will be the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear the pump working and there was a guy a few threads back had a similar problem so I tried some of the tips folks posted for him regarding fuel, seems he had run out of diesel in the end.

Ian M Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 is it cranking over bob? are the earths good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treebloke Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 is it cranking over bob? are the earths good? Yes it was turning over but not as fast as it should, I think the starter is on its way out. However, when I looked under the drivers seat box at the two relays I found the brown wire had come adrift which goes onto the black relay, so put it back on yet still made no difference. Took it over to Roean at Telford and plugged it in to the computer and it was the ECU in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian M Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 yeah stater sounds as though its on its way out, thats what the one on your 110 was doing, speeding up and slowing down if you remember! was the ecu under the seat still? perhaps the dunkings havnt done it and favours?
