Spooner Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Hi, Just got back after my 1999 TD5 90 'failed to proceed'. Well it started.....moved 10 yards and then the glow plug/Engine lights started flashing and it stopped. The ECU under the drivers seat is making a hell of noise when I try to start it ( like a wailing banshee) and the glow plug/engine lights are lit 'dimly'. The starter turns over, the lights come on the dash and the other electrics systems work. But it just won't fire. UPDATE ....... I've been out and removed the ECU to clean the plugs/connector - they had a little oil on them from the loom (part in garage, must fit it) but nothing too much. Still won't start after connecting it all up again. The noise is similiar to a 'screeching/clicking' sound. Also the part number on the unit is- MSB101171 A0016 LD MAN4143 to the left of MSB101171 is something ended in '69' or '39' This part number doesn't seem to tally with the correct ECU for a 1999 TD5 Defender either - see link below ...... ECU info I'm now going to change the Injector Harness first thing to see if the issue is as per the article... cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
