Could it be air in the fuel lines?
I remember last year I had trouble starting mine. When it did start it ran crappy and would usually die not long after that. Turned out to be a tiny hole in a fuel line, and the only way I found it was to pump the fuel filter lift pump while it was idling.
Or...
Yes, you're absolutely right. I was somehow thinking at the time it was a primary fuse not directly associated with the glow plugs. But now that I'm thinking about it, that doesn't make any sense at all.
In my defence though, this was before I'd had my morning coffee. 😁
All my problems are sorted now. The mechanical ones anyway.
I guess after stripping it down and putting back together for a second time, it must have just been that I didn't bleed the air out of the lines properly. I really don't know for sure.
I just took it into town and back. 20k round trip...
Update.
She starts. 😁
I called my fairly knowledgeable neighbour over to see if he had any suggestions, because I was at a loss. He had one, and it was a simple one.
2 quick squirts of Aerostart into the turbo while I was cranking it over, and it fired straight away.
Radiator back on, bullbar...
Bit late, but Looking at the wiring diagram, there doesn't seem to be a glow plug fuse.
There is however, the glow plug relay.
If you have the manual, troubleshooting for the glow plugs is in Engine control system, starts at page 964 in my manual.
I have an 04 Navara. It has the OBD2 plug, but doesn't use the OBD2 protocol. So a normal, off the shelf OBD2 reader won't work.
For the Consult data, this works for me:

Thanks for all the input, it is greatly appreciated.
I took Erick's advice, and weaseled the gear cover off in the end and lightly filed that catchy part. Maybe I didn't have the guts to give it that little extra force to get it off in the beginning, wish I did, it could have saved me a lot of...
I finally got it. All the timing marks line up. And what a relief that is. :D
This was the process that I had to go through: (feel my pain)
With glow plugs removed, and gear cover unbolted and loose. (can't remove it all the way).
Install Crankshaft nut.
Install timing chain. (with match marks...
After I bolted the head on, and with the timing chain on and the the glow plugs out, I used a 41mm socket on the balancer nut and turned it over by hand several times to make sure the valves weren't hitting the pistons. All was well there, I felt no resistance to anything, and nothing felt as...
Can confirm, my timing is out. I broke a mirror and super glued a small piece to a brass rod so that I could see the gears.
A & AA, C & CC, D & DD line up.
B & BB, E & EE do not line up. So I guess that answers my original question.
I really don't know what I'm going to do about the sealant on...
Thanks.
I decided to attempt to remove the gear cover so that I knew for sure that everything is lined up. Which I'm regretting right now. The gear cover is 90% off but it's catching on something. And I'm committed to removing it fully since it needs the sealant on it. 😒
But I can see now that C...
I may have found the problem.
I pulled the timing chain cover off again. The timing chain match marks line up when the crank timing mark lines up, but C & CC no longer line up. 😒
Hi all.
I've just finished putting a new head on. It turns over fine, but for some reason it just won't fire.
Before removing the timing chain, it seems as though I misinterpreted the image in the manual for the match mark on the chain. I had the yellow link at the position shown in the manual...
I've got an 04 zd30 as well, and the last time I checked, it was a no for any throttle controllers.
But as far as I know, all they do is tell the ecu that your throttle is pushed in further than your pushing it. So if that's actually the case, you'd be better off just flooring it a bit more and...
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't notice any notifications.
I just checked that link, worked fine for me.
All a check valve does is allow air or a liquid to flow in one direction and not the other. I'd say that this is on your delivery line and is there to maintain fuel pressure in the lines by...
I'm not familiar with the np300, but did a quick search for an "np300 boost solenoid" and it seems as though they're available everywhere, so 12 weeks seems a little strange. I would have thought your check engine light would come on if it's faulty.
But if it's lacking power in gears 1 and 3...
I think most of us would agree that the timing for the windscreen wipers is quite annoying. With only one intermittent speed they're too slow, and if you change it to "lo" they're too fast. It's been annoying the crap out of me for years. So off to the wreckers we go.
Replace the wiper stalk...
