Reply With QuoteI'd start with checking battery voltage/charging earth points etc. If the engine electronics can't see a good voltage then even with a tow start you won't do any good.

Just last night out of the blue my td5 motor did not turn over.
There is power when you turn the key but no sound coming from starter motor, did check black button under bonnet but still no go.
Sounds like electrical to me but WHERE do you start.
Was able to push start and ran ok, but going around a corner it cut out and would not start at all, even with a faster pull from another vehicle, motor would turn over but would not stay on.
The "BOSS" wants to burn it, she just spent money on a gearbox rebuild a new steering box, and a new alternator so a little peeved right now
Can anyone point me in any direction (but not a possible burning sight)By the way all of this was happening from 11pm to home time of 2:30am poor little kids they were so tired by then and upset.
So anyway 4 hours of sleep and got again a non moving lump of metal out front of home.

Why was the alternator fitted?Originally Posted by ericpicc
Suggestions:
mostly/totally flat battery?
Loose battery terminals?
Loose wiring on alternator?
Is it charging correctly?

Alternator packed it in a while back just before my second child was born, had to charge battery every night as we could not risk having no vehicle, as it is we made the hospital by 12 mins.
Happy bouncing girl, lucky for us she came at 2am and no traffic about.
I don't think our 130 ever went that fast before.
Cheeky little girl had us waiting 2 weeks, then just bang "I want out right now"
So much for living in Melbourne, it was going to take longer for ambulance to get to us, then us driving to hospital, go figure

just went outside now that it has stopped raining and turned the key still no go(So it was not a dream after all)
But found out that the fuel pump is not pumping as well.

Does the truck have an alarm system ? The as10 alarm system control module is behind the right hand speaker (green box). I had a td5 that wouldn't crank and tried a nanocom and couldn't see the as10 via the nanocom. I pulled the as10-let it sit for 10 mins plugged it back in and the truck started right up.

Start with the basic stuff, battery, terminals, etc and work away from there.just went outside now that it has stopped raining and turned the key still no go(So it was not a dream after all)

It started, turned out to be the fuel pump fuze under the driver seat.
Thing is the pump is making a racket(high pitched whine and surge)
just went outside and started it up again but running rough, like on only 4 not 5 cyl.
Went for a quick drive down the street and it stalled, now can't start up again, I'm thinking now somethings up with the fuel pump or line somewhere.

Im no td5 expert but to me it sounds like your fuel pumps on the way out......or theres a wiring problem somewhere along the line. It wouldnt have blown a fuse for no reason. Silly question but have you checked that fuse again?
