    No apparently you spray it into the air intake, so even if it doesn't work it will make it smell nicer!

    yep, so hes areostarting a diesel that doesnt have a primed fuel system...

    now it might just be me and I dont mind if you want to call me pedantic buuut Isn't diesel a lubricant, isn't part of its job to lubricate and cool the various parts of the fuel injection system?

    wouldn't an engine that's out of fuel and running on fuel from an external source be doing something like operating the parts of the fuel system without lubrication and exposing the tips of the injectors to the full heat of combustion without appropriate cooling.?

    Spudboy, have you asked the vendor for and dimensions of the matal bit by chance. It certainly looks like it will do the job, but better one ask instead of a heap of us.

    No - I saw the link in a Defender2 post, and just remembered the link.

    There are a lot more details on the Defender2 website, I'll see if I can find the link.

    The nozzle bit on the end seemed to be a bit "universal", in that a number of makes use the same fitting, not just Land Rover/Ford.

    This is the Land Rover tool (costs $300 or $400 I think):


    This is the dimensions diagram if you want to make your own:


    And this is the link to the Defender2 thread where these pictures originated:
    http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic516.html

    Look on page 3 of the thread for the links to the ebay advert.

    Cheers

    Isn't it just easier to fill the new filter with diesel, then screw it on? Or am I missing the point of the question here?

    Brid,

    As I understand it if it was a 300Tdi then no issue. The common rail diesel works at higher pressures and is susceptable to air in the line.

    In theory it should do the trick. There have been reports on Defender2.net forums where this trick works for some but not others

    Trust LR to screw up something good, IIRC in the Td5, you could prime the system a few times and it would get rid of all the air by itself and you could then start the engine.
