Disco 2 TD5 Wont turn over

[Cyberfarmer]

Good day to all!

I have a 2000 Discovery Td5 sitting in the garage for almost a year now and I cant find any solutions to it.

Problem:

1 .Engine wont turnover to start.

2. It just keeps on cranking and cranking.

Observations:

1. Fuel Pump is working and fuel feed lines are full of diesel.

2. Immobilzer is OFF

3. Tank is full of diesel

What I have done:

1. Cleaned the ECU ports and plugs (it was covered with grime and oil)

2. Read ECU and No Faullt codes.

Is there anything I can do to start the engine directly without going through the key barrel so to isolate any electrical problems?

Thanks in advance.

Have u taken the fuel filter off and turned the ignition on to check fuel flow as the in tank pump can cause this also check the fuel cut of switch in the engine bay push it down it will click is tripped

Also the fuel pump in the tank are prone to leak air into the fuel system. There are plastic pipes on the pump that split and suck air to check the fuel tank must be full eg pump fully covers or remove the pump and inspect all pipes inside on the pump.

Hi Defv890,

The fuel filter and tank pump are new. I dont know where the fuel cut switch is.

Thanks
