If it hasn't got the guard on it, rattler, then who's to know. As long as you are careful and record what you do. A small change on this screw makes a big difference so small changes only ? HTH Mo The guard is off but there is a fresh dab of paint on the pin and nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Made a start removing the intercooler and pipes and whilst removing the lower pipe that was working on earlier this week I found the joint that was leaking oil was really loose, I must of missed it checking them, anyway I removed the pipes and intercooler, filled the intercooler with petrol and sealed up to be left soaking over night and cleaned the pipes it with brake cleaner, the inlet manifold has some oil in it but I don't have a gasket but will get one from the Peterborough show next weekend along with a fuel filter and as I had a 25ltr drum of oil I decided to drop the oil and refilled to between the High and Low marks so tomorrow I will clean the intercooler out and refit everything and see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Rattler Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Took the 90 back to the diesel specialist today to see what he thinks and he thinks its a weak fuel solenoid, so he has ordered a new one and I am getting it fitted tomorrow morning so I will report back then hopefully its sorted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Never heard that one before. Assuming he means the stop solenoid - I thought they were either open or shut (i.e. engine on or off)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming he means the stop solenoid - I thought they were either open or shut (i.e. engine on or off)?? Sorry stop solenoid he said he thinks its the FIP sucking the pin in when it gets to full throttle and shutting the pump off, I replaced the solenoid as a matter of course with a new Beamach one when I fitted the engine along with a new Bearmach lift pump which he said could be another thing to look at so i will just have see, before I took it today I was thinking like as others have said boost pin / fuel pin needs tweaking a quarter of a turn but as the FIP has dabs of paint all over it I thought I would see what he says first before I start messing with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yep - quite right to do it via the diesel specialist. No point voiding your warranty. Lets see if the new solenoid fixes it then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Yippee its sorted now turned out the stop solenoid was loose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Rattler Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yeah it goes like stink now, didn't get the chance to try the new engine when I first fitted this due to running into the problem I had but that's the chance I took buying an unknown engine but hopefully now it should be a good'n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I've seen starting issues caused by low voltage at the stop solenoid, not on a Land Rover though, a friends camper van. It was a pig to start from cold, easystart was the usual answer. In that case it turned out it was getting low voltage at the solenoid so it wouldn't open, but the easy start up the inlet was enough for it to fire and open up the solenoid, so it then ran on diesel once the alternator had raised the voltage. I cured that one by running a direct feed from the battery to the solenoid, whether I or not that was a weak solenoid needing more than the idle voltage to open I'll never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
