My son's Landrover (1989 Defender 90) with a 2.5TD needs priming and
bleeding if it runs out of fuel, my Landrover (1990 Defender 110) with
a 200TDi engine primes bleeds automatically).  Mind you most land
rovers bleed everywhere anyway! :-)

So it depends on the design of the engine, some may need priming/
bleeding of air locks.
