JJ7893 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Forgot to add do anyone perfer 200 or 300 tdi? My 200tdi needs welding as stated above, but the rear box part on the body not chassis need replacing and I seen 1 on e bay but at £130! Can I get 1 cheaper? If so do you know where from please, I would plate it but it already been plated and underside is not there just a pair of body mounts The 300tdi is not running well it only starts with a bump, and there no power when you press the pedal, From what I have been reading on your forum, it mostly states the fuel lift is at fault. Do you still think that is right? The last owner was told it could be the relay? What do you think to that? Also there is a wobble on the front wheel I take that is 1, the wheel bearing or 2, it the swivel pin/bearing gone on that, could it be anything else? sorry for going on, Regards JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7893 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Not a symptom of the lift pump - you lose top end, not starting.Les. I made a mistake sorry, It does start the message was the battery was flat and it start with a bump. This was the message: There is power loss at the accelerator,this has got worse since i stopped using the car at the end of August.Again i have never had this investigated so don`t know what`s causing it,someone i know said it could be an electrical/relay fault,worst case scenario it`s the fuel pump! She`ll bump start but won`t start otherwise having been stood. Sorry about that (Note To Myself READ Right First Time!) Thanks for your input ......JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ7893 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi all again! Right I been to see the Discovery today and spoke to the owner and got to the bottom of the running problem, Here is what is said In August last year he was driving it OK apart from letting go of the gas pedal it would start to hunt as if it was going to stall, but never did. so took it in to a mechanic he had a look. And said a number of things so the lift pump was replaced, all filters replaced and it still carried on, So that was left with a fuel pump or electrical problem but time was running out and in a hurry he got a new discovery. So this old Discovery was left on the field and the longer he left it there the worse it got, He was told that the Relay or pedal sensor is or could be faulty as he said when driving it OK and reaches top speed no problem no rev problems it just idling rough as if it is stalling but on a open run its fine. Also it DOES start from a key when the battery is fully charged. Also there is a abs sensor faulty (Front) is there anyway of fixing it without taking it in to be plugged in to a machine? Has anyone got any ideas? This is a 1994 L reg ES model 300TDI with A/C if that is any help? Regards JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
