Search Results for ‘starting’

For once, I'm not posting a cry for help, just wanted to put out some info others may find helpful in a search. Working on my 1991 LHD ROW 200 Tdi. So I recently have been having some starting woes (other thread here) so I decided to put in a new starter (3.1 from Robert Davis). I also put in a...

Vehicle: 1990 Defender 200 TDI Drove the vehicle all yesterday and it ran fine. Tried to start it today and it turns over just fine, but will not start. Threw a gallon of diesel in the tank and still doesn't start. I am noticing that when I turn the key today the dash lights (oil, battery...

I have a 1986 Tithonus. For the last week I have had trouble with the first cold start of the day. The engine cranks and fires briefly, but won't keep running. If I give it gas, it will Rev up and then suddenly cut off. After about ten or twelve cycles of this it will keep running as I Rev...

Hi everyone - I am trying to help my brother in law who has a 1995 Defender 90. After a battery fail, it will not start. Verified spark and no fuel pressure before filter. Checking as much as I can with available schematics, I believe we have an issue with a fuse, relay or inertia switch or...

My 1996 defender will not start.. The symptoms are as follows: 1. The engine cranks 2. The main lights will not light up. 3. The parking lights works fine. 4. There is no change with the lightswitches connected or disconnected. Any of you have any ideas on what this might be, and can point...

A noob and less mechanically inclined member here. I took the truck out yesterday and it fired right up but I smelled gas near the ignition. Let the truck sit for 1 day and it would not turn-over. Sounded promising but never quite caught. Charged the battery over-night since it got cold and...

Over the past year I had an issue with the D-90 failung to start. It was random when this problem would occur. Take tonight for instance, I went for a ride to the store and when I came out it ran for 30 seconds then sputtered out. Cannot reatart. Last time I had it towed home and it started...

I have a 1986 D110 ex-mod with 2.5l na that wont start. Friday am it was slow to start, but it was cold so i didnt think too much of it. I use optilube to prevent fuel gelling. Fri after work, it turned over 2-3 times and then it stopped turning over. It would not respond to a portable jump...

Ok, so I need a new tranny (1-2-3 are grinding, and the clutch is original ~150k miles...) So, thoughts... Ashcroft r380 for v8 with hd bits.. New output shaft (just because) New clutch/flywheel/RMS Advice bits ... New LT230 with ATB? Seems like a good thing, it's my DD and off road truck...

I have just completed preparing my Discovery 200Tdi to replace my 2.5TD. I would like to test the engine before installing it in the truck. Besides the 12V to the starter and the glow plug, and the cutoff wire are there any other electrical connections I need? I need to feed it fuel and...

Please bare with me, I'm new at this :) My 110 wont start ('88 110 LHD 2.5TD). It was running fine on Friday, I drove it to work, 30 minute commute x 2, a few other short runs. (I use the Webasto to warm it up). Then I parked it in the garage. Saturday morning, loaded the truck with gear...

Hi all, I have a 2000 defender td5 having the following problem. When its full, no problem what so ever, perfect starting cold and hot and runs like a breeze. But, whenever the fuel level is less than full it becomes difficult to get it started, and when its around 1/4 its almost impossible to...

Thanks for your help on this. Lot of background for you on this 2.5NA with lt77.... 1. New diesel tank installed. (Maybe something in the lines afterwards?) 2. Vehicle started up relatively easily after new tank and drove around on some errands without incident, but with slightly less power...

Just got our ROW LHD '84 110. Loving it. I just have a few questions regarding startup: 1. What is the recommended best way to use the choke? 2. Starting it in the cold, what us the best technique between gas, choke, etc to get it started? 3. If it doesn't start but I know the battery is...

So I am in the final stages of my Disco 200Tdi swap into my ex-mod 90. After getting most of the kinks worked out I started the engine to get some motivation to finish. It has been a slow process to put it mildly. So after replacing a bad lift pump the engine fired up but runs at full rev. It...

I am on the road and heading back down to naples and just started noticing an issue with my 200tdi. If I shut off my engine and restart it within 1min it will not start. I need to let it sit for a few minutes and then it starts right up. I am wondering where I should start with my...

I have a RHD 110 with a 19j engine. Trying to come home from work yesterday turned the key and nothing happened no lights on the dash, nothing. I've tried jump leads and I've even tried bump starting it. Questions: Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this model? Could it be something in...
