Even tho we didn't get the result these videos show the real work, time and h3ad scratching that goes in to some of these projects as it's not always a simple fix and go. This is why 250k subscribers are here week in week out guys! 👍

I am not a mechanic, but, i am learning all the time from you guys. You’ve give me the confidence to do my own car services (oil, filters snd fluids). Now i am on a course to learn more, thank you to both of you for the education and entertainment. maybe the start of something here!!! Congrats to you both on the 1-4 million subscribers… well deserved.

Congratulations on the 250k Rob and Chris, well deserved. Your tenacity is what sets you apart. You'll get it running and driving again. Love this channel.

Rob my d3 tdv6 had a can bus problem that stopped the car starting, after loads of analysis with my oscilloscope on the medium and high speed bus I tracked it down to the gateway device in the instrument cluster. They have solder joint problems. What gave it away was the LCD information display not showing outside temperature. It actually makes the car think it has crashed so shuts down the fuel system and give loads of communication indications etc for the other ecus. The cluster repair was £150 on a two day turn around.

Rob you need to check the code setting criteria for the fuel related error codes. My guess would be the ecu preventing the injectors firing and cutting fuel delivery. Congrats on the 250k subscribers well done 👍

Fully agree with this comment. Just because nothing at injectors doesn’t mean pump isn’t working. It appears to be returning to tank due to what ever is causing issue. Check that fuel pressure sensor

No expert, but I watch a lot of KZread car electrical diagnostic videos. Mostly American and one Dutch. These guys know what they are about and in this situation they would do exactly what toolmanchris suggests. Once they find out the code setting criteria they persue the root cause of the problem. Mind you they seem to have very good access to manufacturers wiring diagrams etc. Anyway good luck.

Congratulations on the 250k subscribers, two genuine guys doing what they know best, making a few quid along the way, sharing the experience and above all having a bit of a laugh as well - keep it up guys you deserve all the credits these posts are outlining

A huge congratulations to you both. 250k subscribers is a huge deal. Your honesty and clarity of your work is brilliant. You both keep doing what you are doing, because it's clearly working. All the very best.

Hearty Congrats on hitting 250k subscribers Rob & Chris - shows just how much interest there is out there, and how much people appreciate what you do, and how you do it! Keep ‘em comin’ and keep up the great work ! Best, JCHK

Hi from Durham guys 👋👍 I hope you guys get it nailed and I know its a long shot but try the fuel rail pressure sensors if there's 2 cos sometimes if they get interrupted signals won't allow to release pressure as all sensors work in connection with each other and if one not sending signal will immobilise the entirety of injector run lol hope to see it done and hope it's not pump but you guys can handle it total confidence in your diagnosis and work 👌 thanks for your time be safe and see you soon 👍 👋

Great video again Chris and Rob, have loved how the channel has grown!! Keep up the hard work as always and stay safe and see you soon on the next one

I am old school as I've said before but I have always found the 'Haynes ' very useful. I have had cars refusing to start but you do get there in the end and I am confident that you will too. The heatwave last week didn't help you of course. I never complain about the heat but if you have to work outside it is no fun at all.🔥 That new computer looks much more comprehensive than the other one so it will give more accurate and indepth information. Thanks again Rob and Chris for another interesting video. 👍 👍

Congratulations on the 250k subscriber's, the channel has grown massively from the early days of Rob on his own. It's been a pleasure watching you both grow and create the brand. Well done Rob and Chris 👏👏

Congrats on the 250k subscribers on your channel, a fantastic achievement well done SR UK 👌👌👌

Congrats on the well earned 250k lads! Been amazing watching you guys grow from a small channel to what it is now in a relatively short period of time. You guys are a well oiled machine! Oh and allot of them faults will clear once its running, just coming up during first time check after fault clear / battery removed. The circuit open one is the one that stood out to me. Possibly bad earth/broken/damaged connection inside pump? Possibly pulled or bent when belts were changed and went brittle or had water get in someplace corroding. Good luck with that one chaps tough one to diagnose that.

Well done guys on the 250 k. Been with you since you only had hundreds and Chris was super camera shy !!! Every success for the future. PS I remember when diesels were easy to work on !!!!

Don't think you've tried this but given the age and mileage of car, does look like the crank sensor. They often don't throw a code, just the ECU doesn't think the engine is turning so doesn't pump fuel (and/or fire on a petrol vehicle). The rpm measurement you are getting could be coming from the crankshaft measurement. Usually a very cheap part and I'd definitely now do that first on any vehicle that doesn't run and doesn't really throw a code saying why. Hope this helps and see you've now reached the 250k!!! Cheers.

Congrats on the 250k boys, much deserved. Onwards and upwards.

Great video gents it's good to see all the diagnostic processes and tests you've done. Looking forward to seeing the next installment

I've got an older (petrol) car that I don't use very often. I think that sometimes the injectors get a bit 'sticky' due to lack of use. Someone showed me that giving the injectors a gentle tap with the plastic handle of a screwdriver can free up any that are stuck. Doing this has appeared to help with getting the car started a few times. So far I've not broken any of the injectors (I know, famous last words). 250K subscribers now. Congratulations.

Well deserved 250k subs because this is the best and most honest auto channel on KZread. My favourite car the Land rover I was hoping that the replacement part would start the engine so I could see Rob dancing around with a great big dazzling grin on his face. I agree with others that the fault is the ECU for fuel distribution to the injectors. I know you both will crack the problem and have the disco running soon. Thank you Rob & Chris for another entertaining video. Tom & Hilda

Faults seem to suggest that even though it's commanding fuel to the rail, there's no pressure there, so it's assuming there is an issue with the fuel rail pressure sensor. My experience is that the pumps break up internally, generally as a result of petrol being run through them. Chances are, fuel is being directly returned to the filter head due to brass contamination in the pump.

Well done guys on the 250k subscribers, well deserved and a reflection of the great content and commitment of both of you. Really hope you crack the problem with the Range Rover, it's so frustrating not to get it running. 🎊

I had my fingers crossed for you throughout most of the vid, I was gutted when it still wouldn't fire up. And a massive congratulations on 250k subs, that really is a fantastic achievement and is completely deserved. All the best, Jon.

I don’t think the noid light test will work on that fuel system. The ECU can probably detect the resistance of that circuit and is thinking it’s open circuit and shutting down the driver. I’m sure your fault code is talking about the rail pressure sensor at the front end of the passenger side engine bank. It will have more than 2 pins. 7000psi I don’t think is enough to start it. Best of Luck

Finally an update on the Range Rover, been waiting for this one!!

Congratulations on approaching your 250k subscribers Chris and Rob. I love your channel, great and varied content, mixed with the genius you’ve both shown in turning these projects around. Well deserved success.

Change the crank sensor ,first cheap change that could bring it back to life.. 250.000 is a great achievement for two honest guys and to all of us in the midlands,that accent cracks us up 👍😎dave

You need over 5000psi of fuel pressure for it to start. As you're struggling to get 1000psi I'd definitely say pump or lift pump. Check for swarf in the tank in a clean container and magnet. Replacing the pump will require all fuel lines cleaning then there's no guarantee swarf hasn't found their way to the injectors. Good luck it's been a good project to watch so far!

Measure the voltage at the solenoid terminals. Are you getting 12v? Any chance you can do an actuator test for it using the autel? My train of thought is that the ECU driving transistor blew when the solenoid died. Congrats on the 250k, well done boys.

You’ve hit it lads. What a channel. Superb effort every time.

Long shot, but it isn’t a fuel line that’s collapsed internally and blocking the fuel supply. Maybe try and jerry rig another fuel line from the pump to the common rail. Just a thought. Great video as usual guys. 😎

Pressure alone can be very misleading. It is possible to have very high pressure but low volume. These fuel systems need high pressure and good flow to enable starting and smooth running.

Hi guys, congratulations for the great effort, retired mechanic looking in from Australia, had a similar problem of wind no start with our neighbours one month old toyota corolla, took over my trust can of Export degreaser gave it a short spray in the aircleaner induction housing and away it went , the owners had the car for two years and never missed a beat. When i worked in the mining industry we had a large Atlas Copco compresser with a v671 diesel that didn't have a primer pump for the fuel system so we used a rag soaked in petrol and stuffed in the aircleaned to get it going, i would try one of these to atleast get a run out of the engine to hear what it sounds like. Cheers Nick

Congrats on the 250k! Remember early on you said "we're car guys who do youtube, not youtubers who do cars" and that has held true and why the channel is so great, like a fly on the wall of your business - fascinating and great to see the channel do well, on the range rover I'm also leaning towards fuel pump volume being the problem (pressure o.k. but lack of volume) - no doubt you'll crack it 💪

When you're testing with the multimeter you had it set on the lowest resistance, only 200 ohms - it will show as open circuit if the resistance is above that, set it to the highest setting and come down to find the value... Part might be OC anyway, but if its a valve/solenoid or something the value could be much higher than 200ohms...

Good catch..that caught me out on the coil of a 240V contactor which I thought was open circuit but in fact the coil resistance was around 2k and I had the meter on too low a range.

The fact that the injectors aren’t being fired makes me think it is an electrical fault. Could the faults on the parking brake and transmission modules be stopping the ECU firing the injectors? I assume it needs to see the transmission is in park and the handbrake on before it will allow the engine to fire. Is there good fuel flow from the in tank low pressure pump to the high pressure pump?

Flip it as fast as you can. Unfortunately, Range Rovers aren't known for their reliability. It's quite the opposite, actually, as used models are known for “typical British engineering,” which means leaks, breakdowns, and various other mechanical issues and unusual malfunctions.

Hi Rob. This exact scenario was common on 2003ish Sprinters. Start easy on Ether but wouldn't start without. Turned out the Ultra Low Sulphur diesel was destroying the O ring on the fuel rail. Stoppi9ng sensor reading properly. Replaced 2 O rings never had the issue again.

Top stuff! Glad you got an Autel! Chris will be able to use it for bidirectional functions etc…

Hi Rob and Chris , regarding the RR fuel problem ,I had exactly the same problem with a RR TD6 3.0ltr BMW engine . On the rear of the high pressure pump is a fuel shut off solenoid this controls the high pressure fuel to the injectors , when this fails you get the symptons that you are experiencing. After i renewed the one on my RR ir started first time . I am a 69 year old retired mechanic that still likes to keep my hand in , health permitting . Good luck lads .

All I can say Rob is good luck!! Looking forward to seeing how you get on with this, despite all their foibles,I can help but love range rovers ..even though I’ve never had one and probably never will as I can’t afford it!😂. Great video as ever, cheers.

Congratulations Guys well done on the 250k! Loving the content and videos, never miss one. With the Range Rover I'd go down the route of replacing the fuel pressure sensor. Not very expensive and can cause it to not fire up. I've had a similar scenario where it would cut out randomly and at times take forever to build enough pressure to fire up until it eventually gave up. Try replacing it and see if that helps Keeping an eye out on the next video lads well done

Hi Rob , i had the same problem with a ford focus diesel , the exact as you are having . I too changed the intank fuel pump but after a long time trying to find the problem i fixed it !!! it was the fuel pump , the new one was not pumping the fuel to the injectors . i replaced the fuel pump again for a better one and it worked . I hope its as simple as that for you . Good luck .

18:30, 3 of the 4 faults were fuel rail pressure sensor related, suggests a problem with the sensor or wiring to it, worth doing a resistance check of the sensor once disconnected to see if it is open circuit or shorting out.

Thanks guys. Same sort of frustrations as you had with the Bentley - chasing your tails to get it going -- you'll do it

No experience of this V6 but lots from the early common rail BMW 4 cylinder. Had lots of non starters like this with real difficulty tracing the fault. Nearly always ended up being the fuel rail pressure sensor or the connector/harness to it or the high pressure fuel pump. Lost no end of pumps due to contamination from debris/foreign objects, water is also a killer for the pump. Good luck with the diagnosis.

Hi Chris and Rob, great content as always. My friend had a freelander with a similar situation. It turned out that the line from the fuel pump had been fitted back on the wing way round, so fuel was not getting to the inlets. I know very unlikely to be your issue, but I thought I'd mention it. Good luck.
