Hey guys,
I have just joined the Defender club and added a nicely restored 1993 110 200TDI to my small collection. If you guys would be so kind as to help me address this oddball issue, I would appreciate it.
The vehicle drove onto the transporter when purchased, however, arrived, and cranks and sputters but would not start. I had the transporter tow it so I could drop the clutch to get it into the driveway. It started when the clutch dropped and seemingly ran, however would immediately cease when the clutch was put back in. I only had a short amount of time to test this out so my results are not conclusive. I checked and have good voltage at the shut off solenoid. The spade connection isn’t the best, so I’ll probably tidy that up.
Tomorrow morning I am going to open the fuel filter bleed screw and give it a crank. I will post the results, I’m curious if anyone has any ideas in the meantime. Not sure what would have caused it to stop running while being carried during the course of transport.
Thanks!!
Ian
