    TD5 taking a while to start

    So can't say it's been smooth sailing so far... and this is probably the worst question to ask, but.....

    The last couple of starts the engine doesn't fire first go, as has been the case once the glow plug light goes out. Instead the engine winds over and over.

    That last time at work, I started pumping the accelerator ( not sure this is effective??? )

    Since owning this car the head was done, lots of hoses replaced, the starter motor contacts replaced (that was done by me following tutes here and on discovery2.co.uk ( that's going to hurt when that site closes down! )) so I'm hoping someone can give me a few places to look at first before taking it to the mechanic, which given the dire financial position I'm in after the $5k spent last time it was there, I'm reluctant to do just now.

    Thankfully I haven't sold my car yet. Guess I can just drive it and leave the Disco in the driveway until I can sell my first born.

    How old is your battery. Mine became difficult to start, especially from cold. Engine spun over fine, just wouldn't catch. Something to do with the voltage drop being too much to power the ecu /injectors. Worth a try if you can borrow a good one. Changed mine for a Lucas 664 6 months ago and it's been fine since.

    Mate, buy a RAVE dvd from the MARKET section here, start doing as much of your own maintenance as you can, Get to know your vehicle. You'll save heaps, & as they say, you'll never never know, if you never never try Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Thanks Bob. I have a RAVE CD already.

    I've found a run down on aulro and now watching a youtube video about how to get to the fuel tank.

    I'll have a read through the RAVE CD shortly.

    Once done it's time to have a crack...

    Only the 2nd time with tools in hand doing something I've never done before. Go figure.

    You don't need to take the fuel tank out to get at the pump.
    I have just replaced mine and you can get at it from the top by just removing the trim.
    Look in the rave manual there are good step by step instructions there and there are also tutorials if you search for them.

    Good luck Mick

    Thanks Mick.

    Watched a youtube video: Land Rover Discovery 2 Fuel Pump Install - YouTube

    Read this post on aulro: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...-pump-td5.html

    And read through the RAVE CD... all I need now is the new pump and the weekend to roll around.

    Pete.

    I got my pump from the Uk it was $300 or $400 cheaper,
    But it takes 5 to 7 days to get here (from my previous experience)
