Hello out there,
Looking for a little bit of advice, because somebody may be able to save me a LOT of money! I'm currently driving a 96 Discovery around Iceland on holiday, and have had 5 weeks of problem free driving, apart from the odd puncture.
However, I have been recently bugged by my car failing to start up.... it seems to be intermittent, but in the last few days has become more problematic. The engine turns over, but it seems that fuel is simply not getting to the engine block.
I have noticed that I seem to be getting an intermittent lack of pressure from the fuel lift pump priming lever, which suggests to me that I simply have a series of (quite significant) air blocks in my fuel lines. Alternatively, the problem may be much more significant.
Does anyone have any advice or similar experience out there?
PS: Driving in Iceland is the best: I can strongly recommend it (if your car is working!)
