Scoobyghost Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Nice! What work you had done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth121 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Had a cam seize ( inlet right) which resulted in both left cam pulleys shattering. Luckily no damage to pistons/valves. New heads fitted along with all new gaskets, New pulleys, timing belt kit. But now I have an intermittent non start, she'll just crank over but won't fire. But I've found if I swap the two fuel pipes round, and try and start it. Then swap them back over again, she fires and runs fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobyghost Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Which pipes are you swapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ven Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hi Ethan,another fan of the classic,hope you get sorted soon :) My 1st sub ,had mine around 6 months to and love it. Had a big 4x4 for years,so always wanted a nippy awd motor and so my journey begins :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eth121 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 The two fuel pipes That run from the fuel filter to the rails, it's weird because it might start four days in a row but then all of a sudden she'll just turn over and won't fire until I swap the pipes, try and start, then swap them back and she'll be fine. Hi ven, same here . I've had landys previous to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash007ks Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 sounds like a fuel line pressure fault, is the pump priming everytime you turn the ignition on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
