From what you describe the pump itself is probably OK or it would not run at all. You obviously still have a water problem in the pump wiring or in the pump itself. Get under the vehicle and trace the wires all the way back to the engine bay, starting at the pump. Dry everything you can reach with a hairdryer (not a heat gun - too much heat). Once you figure it is all dry, spray every connection with electrical parts cleaner. If this doesn't fix the problem you may have to consider replacing the wires - not as difficult as it sounds.

Miss Barbie, I've been through this, and you must call a locksmith to reprogram your key to the vehicle key code. It's the only way Luv.

black exhaust = over fueling so there is an injector problem either in the seals under the injectors or in an over pressure problem The sensor that controls the air / fuel mixtures is the heated oxygen (HO2S) that is in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter and that often fails and so the ECM cannot control the injector operation have the fault codes run before you waste any more money replacing items not connected to the problem

Check the connections on both ends of both battery cables (particularly the main negative cable to engine and body grounds) - clean and reinstall. Could also be connection going bad on the fusible link in the battery + cable, or a faulty fusible link.

Do you have a check engine light on and maybe flashing?

Check the wires. Sound like a couple could be touching

The 1998 TDI uses an electronic speedo. Assuming all the other gauges on the dash are working, then it is not a blown fuse. In this case it is either the pick up from the gearbox, the speedo itself or the wiring in between. The easiest way to check is by substitution of the speedo or the pick up one at a time. If this fixes it then the wiring is OK. If it doesn't fix it, then go looking for a wiring fault. Given the age, the wiring behind the dash can fail either by open circuit or shorting, so I usually just run new wires if I get a fault in one.

Start off buy checking speedo sensor or cable

Take cover off horn cover should be a nut under it holding steering wheel on remove nut and then steering wheel can be fairly tight

Have you considered the bulbs in both the headlamp and the high beam indicator have both blown? If you remove and check the headlight bulb first this may help resolve the problem.

For an engine to start it needs the correct amount of fuel delivered into each cylinder in the correct form to be compressed and then ignited at the correct time by a spark. Fuel, compression and spark. When an engine will not start one of those requirements is missing and assuming the cranking speed is sufficient, which is a requirement under the general heading of "compression", a diagnostic process will need to be gone through which typically will begin by ensuring there is a good spark available at the spark plug and then move on to the fuel system. Because car theft became a national sport in many parts of the world in the late 1980's and early 1990's, by the mid 90's many manufacturers were fitting immobiliser systems as standard and so when an engine refuses to start these also become part of the diagnostic process and are often to blame.

I answered. I dont know if it saved. So again. Take off air intake and spark plugs and cam cover and valves etc. Vacuum it out from water. Change watery oil and trans fluid. Change rotor in distributor it will rust fast. Uh. Good luck.

Most likely fault is you have sheared off the gbox input shaft. You don't say if its manual or auto? Have you checked to see if the hi lo shift is properly set and hasn't jumped the transfer box to neutral. Get a LR specialist to look at it. You don't say where you are but if in the UK there are loads of specialists, get a magazine or search the web.

Before you do anything expensive, check the earth with a multimeter and replace the earth strap if necessary. If still no good, get under the vehicle and thump the starter solenoid with a hammer - they frequently corrode inside, If the starter needs to be replaced, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, then undo the two bolts holding the unit to the engine and withdraw it towards the front of the vehicle

Take the tire off, caliper & holder, 4wheel drive hub & use a ball joint tool to press the old one out & the new one in.
