Hi again mate, the reason for a stat is to take the water in the engine only up to normal operating temp and still warms up the heater matrix, once at the running temp, the stat is supposed to then open and engage the cooling system to maintain the temp at the required level, your engine hitting...

Tell you what, Ratty me old mate, you can forget that bloody thing after reading up on the thread you kindly found for me lol. I have found another way to bypass it and start the vehicle and at the same time still retaining the alarm, imobiliser central locking , infact everything, and am one...

just a thought, have you checked the rate of flow through the rad ? making sure it is all free and no blocked vanes, also flow through the heater matrix, check for blockages obviously lack of hot air when engine is up to temp is lack of coolant, through either air lock, low coolant level or ...

Bloody marvellous thanks, yes it is a 2 button fob for a late 97 3.9 v8. Is the said unit behind the glove box on the sidewall ? I was informed it could be or is that on an older model ? thanks again .. Paul

Hi there and thanks to all who contributed to my last thread, I think that the cause of my non start prob was the imobiliser, if I get another, will it need to be reset etc or is it just "plug and play" doubt I could be that lucky. Thanks ... Paul.

I have had the car running and up to temp, then temp wired the fans to run ( not to coil lol ) and it cooled it imediately, so the theory is correct !!!!! BUT, yes there is one ---- Can anyone tell me why I can start the car on the ignition by using a live feed from the batt to the coil but...

Just about to go and take another look at the probs, will keep all posted lol

Can I reset the imobiliser without the code or can I remove it and how please ?

Imobiliser fault ? Can you please elaborate ? makes sense but will not come off even though the alarm seems to be working !.. Paul

A whole load of trouble? I already got that lol, a bit more wont matter if it helps me find a cure mate ... cheers .. Paul.

Hi Bluea35, thanks for the input mate, it aint that though cause its been cold for a week, it aint run lol .... The alarm works fine as I have been using it off the key fob at all times but thanks .. Paul.

Hi, does anyone know what I can expect to find in the black box that controls the gas ( the brain ) and into which the coil wire enters before leaving to go to the ignition ? Is there a fuse in there or an external inline fuse enroute to the ignition ?? .. thanks .. Paul.

Hi there, thought I would start a new thread with this as I caused the problem through trying to cure another. My 97 3.9 disco with single point gas conversion will now not turn over let alone start, I turn the key and all lights up, everything on the car works but there is no power to the coil...

Hi guys, my problems just seem to escalate, lol. I removed the thermostat and boild it up, as we used to do years ago and it just sat in the pan and, nothing ! it did not open. I have been told by the spares shop that this kind of test will not work with the new thermostats as they need to be...

Forgot to mention, I have not OVERHEATED the engine, as I always drive with one eye on the road and the other on the temp guage, this is because I have had range rovers in the past lol.
