Thread: 300 Tdi Auto (145k) Low Speed - Misfire? Hunting?

If my Disco is a V8 it's been running well on diesel for the past five years.

BTW, What's trolling.

Definately not a TD5 part - they are much cheaper!

td5 throttle is about 90pounds from a dealer in the Uk so thats not the same part

change the fuel filter, dismantle the fuel lines and blow them all back to tank or out.

pull the fuel cut solenoid and check it for contamination or any signs of metal particualte in the hole or on the needle.

you may also have the lift pump pushing air into the injector pump which means that you are potentially not far away from having a total failure to procede if the air leak gets worse and in a worst case scenario you may also wind up with a runaway engine if it leaks into the sump through the diaphragm.

Many thanks - I'll add this to the increasing list of further checks.

Still don't know what a troll is.

this could be entertaining to follow along with OR..

(dramatic pause, turn to face the camera que sudden revelation movie music here)

Has AULRO surpassed the UK forums for landy knowledge and google placement?

Totally mad I agree. See the links above for the prices. I spent hours and hours searching before committing to buy.

I don't know about Google placement but AULRO is a damn fine site - better than all of the UK sites.

That's a fairly old photo, I'll see if I can dig out some more this weekend.

Thanks for the comments - keep 'em coming but I still don't know what at troll is!

mate the opening diagnostics is all DIY stuff and can be done with just a shifter, screwdriver, a hoseclamp and a suitably sized length of hose. More than happy to talk you through it and save you some dollars. it could be as simple as a 0.03c rubber sealing ring gone
