My 2000 TD5 S2 disco started to misfire because i bought some dirty fuel, i replaced the rear furel filter and now it goes good for about 10kms then starts to miss again. is there a second filter near the engine or something like that?

Check the crank and cam position sensors...sometimes they don't kick the SES light on until they fail. one of the main symptoms of the cam position sensor failing is the "no start, but cranks fine" issue. This happens especially when the engine has been driven and is warm. If the sensor has failed, the engine won't start at all, and everything else will seem fine..the part is usually cheap at the store, and usually easy to replace since it will be near the top of the engine somewhere. I'd start with that and see how it goes...The other sensor I mentioned is also critical in the timing of the engine the "crank sensor" if it fails, it may also cause that situation. The two sensors together tell the CPU where the cam and crank are in their timing sequences. If one isn't working, the CPU won't know where to fire what cylinder, so it just won't fire any of them. ie: No Start. I would replace them both just to be sure. Since you have checked everything else, and it cranks, I can't think of anything else at this point. Good luck. :)

,slacken the injector pipes off then assistant cranks engine with throttle wide open ,as you see fuel start to appear at an injector tighten the nut ,as soon as you have about 2 or more bled out it will fire .easy to do
