If your losing power also and then failure to restart then it could be the copper washers for the injectors are worn. a diagnostics wont find this either. Mine would be fine then die and not start. basically the exhaust fumes go back into the injector and starve of diesel causing rough running. If not that then i believe crankshaft sensors can get dirty or the gap can give a false magnetic reading on to the fuel pump..... ok i cant quite remember the exact issue there but it was something they considered when solving mine. hope thats of some use and makes at least a little sense

HI BEN a mate had a 51 reg td5 it was the copper washer on the fuel filter diagnostics did not pick it up it taken weeks to find what was up thanks and all the best with it mate jon

my old td5 did something similar and it was the fuel pressure regulator. is there any drip of diesel on top of the starter?

could be fuel filter housing, where the feed and return connect. The alloy casting rots where the copper washers fit.

i got in it this morning and it fired straight up. so i turned it off and it hasnt started since. when its running there is no loss of power. the problem is it either starts or it doesn't start.

 

i got it booked in at the landy garage if i can get it started to get it there.

 

oh i checked the ECU there was a bit of oil in the red plug. iv cleaned it but it still wont start.

Stop solonoid issue?

 

When it won't start loosen the injector feeds and see if fuel is going to them when turning over.

there wont be any fule going to the engin as the fule pump isnt making a noise. so i would assume there is no power going to it along with no power going to the engine electrics

HI MATE we had the fuel pump go on our one it was not making a noise on our old td5 we had to take out the tank or let down there no plate inside 90 on floor but I'm told the pumps go a lot on td5 thanks jon

im need ing help solving a reocurring problem. im struggling to get my td5 to start. when i turn the key the only thing that happens is a buzzing sound coming from the footwell / gearbox area. i think its the fule pump i can hear. there is no light on the dash for the yellow engin shape or the yellow coil. when i thurn the key right on the engin turns over normally but doesn't fire up. but if i leave it half an hour, an hour or 12 it fires up straight away. some times i have just been driving stopped to get out and do something and get back in and it wont go.

 

like every one we have had slightly damp weather recently. it happened for a couple of days about a month ago when it had been wet for about a week but for the dry spell inbetween it has been fine.

 

my guess is that something is getting damp and shorting out. possibly power to the glow plugs? but how do i check or does any one have any other ideas.

 

thanks

 

Yellow relays under drivers seat playing up. That might be what you can hear buzzing. They control power to fuel pump etc.
