As Elms said but hold them together for about 10 mins to discharge all power from ecus.I use a bit of wire to hold them together save standing there for 10 mins. you might have to do the full lock to lock o the steering wheel after .

My L322 Td6 daily driver was running fine. Parked in supermarket carpark this morning

Not near a Discount Chemist by chance?
Their doors can interfere with the alarm.
On my D2 I used to lock/unlock a few times but if it is outside a chemist perhaps you can push it away .

Mario,
Clamped them together for 10 minutes - no change. Cranks over really fast but no start.

Phillip, There is a Discount Chemist Wharehouse but it is inside shopping centre building 150+ metres away. It is same spot we park in every week at the shops, so I don't think it is RF interference.

Have called for a tow and will sort it out when we get back from outback trip that starts on Wednesday - Luckily I had decided to take the old D2 Td5 otherwise I would be significantly more stressed than I am (although 3 hour wait for NRMA is wearing on my patience!).

Cheers, Charles

Hi all,

Interesting outcome.

NRMA mechanic could hear the fuel line/filter sounded a little grumbly - pulled fuel hose again and there was a lot of air in the fuel. Tank was just below half full and I generally keep it above half full. NRMA had 10 litres of diesel which made no difference. I went off and got another 30 litres which filled tank to full on gauge. Fuel system primed then cranked for a while then started. Ran pretty rough but well enough to get home - what a relief!!

Feel a bit stupid for not figuring that out myself, as I noted the fuel delivery was a bit spluttery when I checked the flow earlier in the day - shows how a bit of stress can impair one's judgement.

Obviously something perished/cracked/broken in pump assembly and it has been ok as I tend to keep it filled up.

Will deal with in a couple of weeks when I get back from the bush.

Thanks for your troubleshooting suggestions.

Charlie.

Great news - your in tank pump is weak - it uses a Venturi to get the fuel over the hump in the tank and when they get a bit weak, it stops doing this and you lose fuel from one side - but not the side with the sender in it... 😉

Not a hugely difficult fix, top of the tank is easy to get to by removing the back seats - which are bloody heavy, but not difficult to remove.

I nursed mine for over a year when it did this before I got around to fixing it.

Have a great trip in the D2! 👍😊

Was wondering if anyone had noticed any air bubbles in the clear line to the filter in the engine compartment. It is a dead giveaway for an intake pump issue.
