I have a Series II Discovery TD5, and recently the "fuel filter" warning light started coming on on the dashboard. My local dealer suggested I unscrewed the bottom of the filter to drain it, then all should be OK.
I have now done this, but now I can't get the Disco to start - the engine turns over, but doesn't fire, so I think it's obvious that it's a fuel starvation problem - I've tried leaving the ignition "on" for a few minutes to let the filer/system "refill", but this doesn't seem to work.
I'm not very mechanically minded - and can't phone my dealer as it's Sunday - have I missed some important step out to purge/refill the system?
Any help, greatly appreciated as I am now STRANDED!!!
