    No fuel... no go!?!

    G'day all!
    How are you doing, enjoying summer time and preparing for Australia Day? Well, I've been busy and among other activities tried to get the 110 back into life. The starter motor has been overhauled, the fuel pump changed but the engine still won't start.
    There is fuel on the injector pump and the solenoid is clicking but htere is hardly any fuel reaching the injectors. The engine fires up on start-aid spray and the battery is charged. Just to remind you, it's the 2.5l turboD.

    Any suggestions??? Please, please don't tell me the injection pump has gone across river Jordan or I'll get really really sad!

    Hi Jojo
    You have air in the system that needs to be bled out.After bleeding the "normal points" as per the workshop manual.I say normal as I dont know too much about the early Landy diesels.On tractors and the LOVELY HEAP OF POO Bedford truck with a Perkins 354 Ive had the pleasure of dealing with in my past the trick that always worked was bleed the "normal" points then
    crack the injector connection on the furtherest from the pump,ie the longest injector pipe length.Start as usual then tighten the injector fitting whilst the motor is running.
    Let me know how you get on.

    Well I've had a go at this one.

    Not that I've got the foggiest, but here's the list.

    Clean fuel cap and fuel return line
    blow out fuel lines and check them for holes or crushing
    drain fuel tank and start again
    clean sedimenter and make sure it doesn't have a vacuum leak or a cracked white drain nut
    replace fuel filter
    check that the new lift pump isn't stuffed - I think the trick is if the lever stays down or something
    clean the contact on the wire that leads to the fuel injection pump and check that it is getting the full 12v, or whatever
    replace fuel filter again incase it filled up will crud since adn make sure the seal is good

    Take the four screws off the port on the top of the fuel injection pump and see if hte boost diaphragm has a hole in it. Mark the diaphragm and the body with a chinagraph because it has to go back in original orientation. This probably won't have anything to do with it, but what the hell.

    make sure the system is primed

    I'm sure you've already done this all, and sorry if I'm stating the obvious.

    And thanks to all the rest of the blokes who spread all of these suggestions over a long thread.

    Cheers
    Simon

    G'day mates!
    And thanks for all your replies! Well, to tell you the truth (and I feel a bit ashamed I didn't think of it previously), my suspicion now is that the cambelt has gone past it's sell-by date ops: . All symptoms point this way.
    We bled the fuel system thoroughly, checked the lift pump and injectors... I just didn't get round to take the cambelt cover off as weather conditions got a bit over the top (we had a real blizzard again last weekend). I managed to pull the 110 into the garage (with help of my Tirfor winch) but at temperatures down to -20 degrees I wasn't to keen to have my fingers freezing to the engine. Now I am waiting for some spare time, warmer climate 8) and I'll get the thing rolling again. Needs some other work done anyway. I'll keep you posted!

    Well Henry,
    as our fuel prices top the $2 mark now I will have to dig my own oil well to afford running a V8 :wink: But that V8 engine would save me starting trouble in winter, of course (and eliminate the need for a heating system at home). Lucky you guys down there in Oz who can still drive around in the beautiful V8 machines. Good on ya'!

    Cheers
