[@kiwiridernz69]

That bonnet light on a sensor is sick

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I like that too. 🙂 Thanks for watching. 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@bobbyknightbk]

Loved watching the video mate! And love the xj's! Did you fit the new glow plugs for your dad? How did you do them? As on the early engines like your dads, no.2 glow plug is directly behind the diesel pump? Thanks mate 👍

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks! He went straight to the mechanic after this one so I'm not sure exactly what it looks like. But if you need more details, I can take pictures of everything you are interested in tomorrow.

[@bobbyknightbk]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar thanks for your quick reply mate 👍 Its OK mate I don't need any pictures thanks, I just wondered if you knew how to change number 2 glow plug as it looks impossible to get to without taking off the mechanical diesel pump! Cheers mate

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

@@bobbyknightbk you're welcome. Cheers!

A little power goes a long way! Putting a block heater in your Dad's stocking the end of the month?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

3 of 4 glow plugs were dead that was the problem. Otherwise it start up without problems at very low temperatures. :-)

[@anger9984]

Crack the injectors a little then turn it over till it starts then tighten back up, for next time Some reason they struggle drawing fuel through when left a while ✌️

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Good to know. 🙋🏻‍♂️ But this time glow plugs were dead and it was cold plus weak battery... 😁

[@kawasakih2r61]

moj jepp upali na prvu ali dimi bijeli i kad postigne radnu tem nema nikakog dima jel to do neceg taj dim ili to tako mora po zimi motor je vm 3.1 td

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

3 grijača su otišla pa zato nije palio. Kad smo to zamijenili, drugo jutro nije dva puta zavrtio i upalio je. Bijeli dim ide dok se ne ugrije, ali ovaj plavi kad ga stisnes zna dobro zadimiti, ali crno. Ako se netko napikava iza, samo niža i gas! 🤣🤣🤣

Good cold start vid ;)

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Thanks! 🙂

Have same problem in Spain, same car.

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Hi! That was cheap fix, 3 glow plugs were dead.

[@sasozolek506]

Novi sam u ovom hobiju imam XJ 99 2.5TD (kratko vrijeme) uz niz problema na početku (ovijes) imao sam problema sa paljenjem, izpostavilo se da mi svaki put povuklo malo lufta, od kad smo riješili izgleda sve OK! Trenutačno mi najviše smeta što na točno 2000rpm izbudi snagu i ubrzava jako - jako polako. (3,4,5 brtzina). Tata ima isti avto / motor i ide dosta bolje (više snage na 2000rpm) Imate li nekih izkustva ! (EGR je blindiran)?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Bok! Ja kad sam uzeo svojeg, dosta sam uložio u ovjes tako da budem na miru. Bila je to postena cifra, ali u dvije i pol godine sam promijenio samo ležaj na prednjem desnom kotaču. Jako često je na terenu i vjerovao ili ne baš sad sam došao sa terena. Ovaj put je bilo na jednom dijelu baš veliko kamenje, frend je odvalio dio branika, ali ništa drugo nismo potrgali. 😁 Što se snage tiče, bilo bi dobro provjeriti regulator protoka zraka. Meni se slično desilo i nije išao uopće preko 2000-2500 rpm. Nekad je proradio, ali najčešće nije htio u okretaje.

[@sasozolek506]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar hvala na odgovoru, možda bi mogao probati i uzeti iz tatinog, nisam siguran dal je isti jer je njegov 1997g. Al simtomi su jako čudni, konkretno jučer, 1, 2 normalno (osjeti se samo mali trzaj na 2000 rpm.) 3, 4, 5 svaki put malo snažniji trzaj. Prema kraju dana nakon 150km čak se ni u 3 više nije osječalo ! Druga situacija koja me malo zabrinula, dolio sam vode za hlađenje kad sam se vratio doma na čep mi je izlazila razhladna tekučina dok je temperatura bila potpuno uredna 90°C avto sam ostavio da radi u leru 5 min in temperatura je bila skoz uredna 90°C Nakon što sam ga ugasio otvaram pažljivo posudu sa razladhnom (nije vrijala ni dimila) jel moguče da sam dolio previše vode (od prljavštine se ne vidi di je nivo ) Nakon provijere opet palim i ostavljam raditi 3-5min i pratim temperaturu cijelo vrijeme ok 90°C. P.S. redovito pratim tvoje videe i avanture, i vjerujem da je sposoban proč ozbiljan teren, i baš ti je lijepo sređen, ja svoj slažem više kao roadtrip car za magistrale brzine do 100km/h Makar kad sam testirao ide i do 140 / 145 ( samo test - lagana nizbrdica) i u zimskim uvijetima da se ne pregrije slučajno!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Hahah i moj tata ga ima! 😅 97-01 je redizajnirani model i mislim da bi više manje sve trebalo biti isto. Moguće je da ti čep ne drži dobro pa da dio vode baci van, možda višak. Nemoj doljevati i prati jel će se upaliti lampica da fali vode. Ako ne, bacio je samo višak vode. Meni je pomalo počeo gubiti vodu pa sad moram pregledati gdje...nadam se da nije glava. 😁

[@huskyhunk31]

really hot.. Perhaps you should have taken longer breaks and shorter attempts when trying first, just to save some battery power :-)...

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

I don't think it had a chance that day. 3 out of 4 glow plugs were dead and it was cold. But you are right about shorter attempts.

[@huskyhunk31]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar yeah, maybe, just came to think of it. Still remember my old family cars where the batteries were almost always flat, so you did not have a choice and needed to wait endlessly before trying (shortly) again. Guess that's why I am somehow used to it *lol*....

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

@huskyhunk31 Yeah, about family cars... My dad is not inclined to maintain cars at all so it was quite normal for us to push the car to start. That was often fun for the whole family. 😅

[@huskyhunk31]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar Wow, that sounds awesome…. Would he first try for quite a while, even with a more or less flat battery? Or would he realize immediately that this would not make sense at all…?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

@huskyhunk31 I was a kid than so I don't remember what was the problem but it was with every car he had. 😅

Hi, my 2.5TD does like you, it has a lot of trouble starting, do you have any idea what the problem is? thank you dear jeeper

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Hi! 🙋🏻‍♂️ This time was glow plugs. 3 out of 4 were dead. That's the first thing you should check and glow plugs are not expensive. 😉

[@bkb2865]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar thanks for the very very quick response, yes I suspected and I have already bought the candles ;-) otherwise my 2.5TD does not want to take more than 3000 turns, do you have any idea

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

You're welcome my man. That could be MAF sensor. When I bought my 97 TD it didn't want to go over 2000 or so rpms. Sometimes yes but not very often. LOL In my case that was MAF sensor.

[@bkb2865]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCaryes I have changed this sensor but with a model generic, otherwise I thought of the diesel filter, thank you for the welcome

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

The fuel filter is good to change anyway, you have nothing to lose. Maybe that solves your problem. Wish you luck! 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@LogitechXibanga]

why white smoke?

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

It's cold and the starter spun for a long time before engine started so there was a lot of unburned fuel in the cylinders...i think. 😁 After a minute there is no more smoke.

[@LogitechXibanga]

@@V8AmericanMuscleCar my rover 825 makes lot of smoke its brpken :(

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it won't be expensive.
