On behalf of my brother in law who just bought a MY08 TDV8 and seems to be having more than his share of issues....

He was driving along on dual carriageway quite happily and suddenly it cut out. Fuel guage showed 1/4 tank and 150 miles but it had actually run out of fuel. Was still in warranty so vehile was recovered back to the garage whom diagnosed faulty sender unit. That has been changed, he's had it back 4 days and now he cant get more than £20 of fuel in it.

The nozzle just keeps popping and theres blowback through the filler. Cant get more than a dribble into it...

I couldn't see anything similar doing a search - any thoughts?

Thanks Jon....

maybe the tank is full and the gauge is still not reading correctly.. ... - .- -.

Does it have one of those misfuelling devices. I had a loan Sport which had it triggered an had the same fuelling problem until I realised what was wrong.

martin could be correct,

It may only be partially deployed too, so ask your brother if he can see any of the yellow plastic device when looking down the filler nozzle...

Mine decided to do it once and needed pushing back into place with a long screwdriver...

There's also the breather pipe issue which I had on my old TDV8. Turn the handle upside down so the trigger is upwards and the pipe is almost vertical. Seems to fill fine that way.

+1...always fill mine with the nozzle upside down and only 'clicks' off when it's really full. GONE 2010 Facelifted 3.6 TDV8 - Stornoway Grey + 22" Overfinch Olympus

So glad I'm not the only one who has problems filling. It's been driving me mad, never thought of the inverted handle approach, will give this a go on the way home.

The yellow plastic tool for resetting the misfuelling device should be in the boot, next to the spare wheel. Mine seems to need resetting occasionally, I must be ham fisted with the fuel nossle.

Thanks all very much for your replies

The fuel guard had indeed deployed - now reset using the instructions above

I don't have such devices on my MY05 Td6....

Cheers, Jon.

I think many us have been caught out by the filler guard widget thingy.

I haven't but I did try the upside down nozzle tonight.

Fuelled straight in, no clicking off at random moments and continued till it was full to the brim..

Thx for the advice Ash

I tried the upside down technique as well for the first time last time. That was the first time since buying that I've managed to fill without it stopping.
