I am only a new Disco owner so be kind to me. I have a diesel leak from somewhere around the injector pump on my '96 Tdi and I can't seem to find it. I have hit the side of the engine and pump with degreaser and am going to have another look tomorrow. Is there any place that I should look at first? A common fault perhaps?

The lift pump on the side of the block often leaks if the pipes/housing cracks. Check there first.

Not really repairable.
They usually crack the pipes at the body if the hoses are tight (as in no give/flex) so make sure they're OK too. LR released a pig tail hose to absorb the vibrations or you can make a new one.

Right. Replaced the lift pump, new olives and nuts, new gasket, beaudy.
Started it, and it ran for two seconds, then stopped.
I forgot to bleed the system didn't I.

I have never done this before, and I don't have a book, so it's off to search for an answer.

Keep cranking... It'll self bleed.

It also helps when trying to get it going that you have connected the pipes back up to the lift pump the right way round.
