Hi tomcat59alan, hope you are doing good man. Do you mean the large circular connector under the expansion tank? I have examined that connector and from what I could see there is no corrosion, and the wires I checked for continuity were fine.

This can only be a faulty connection from throttle pot to ECU. A faulty throttle pot or a faulty ECU. As the feed from ECU to the diagnostic plug uses the same two wires as other systems that are working.

Mark hey there, the Diesel Injection Pump, personally I have not touched the pump, it might have been done by previous owner.
I had an ex-Land-Rover mechanic out to look at it a few weeks back, and he mentioned that it could be the module on the Injection Pump, and that it was a 'pump out' job
Does the head need to come off to change out the pump? I think he mentioned that its not so bad once you have the timing chain tool.
Right now, the car is stuck in low range, so the auto-sparky is going to look at that and then the EDC ecu comms issue.
I guess I'll let him at it, and if he doesnt get anywhere, then look at the injection pump.

I find it hard to believe it is the injection pump, you are looking for a bad connection from ECU to OBDII socket. As said earlier the wires that feed the OBDII socket from the ECU also feed other systems that are working.

Look at RAVE under Electrical trouble shooting manuals > diagnostic connector. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
