Went to see a Landrover independent today to get my diesel pump sorted so I can chuck my cold start device away.

Really nice guy, he plugged his Auto logic in, and only fault it flashed up was engine immobiliser fault, he actually was using it to check the pump. Interesting as my Hawkeye flags up Crank Speed Sensor, whereas his didn't. Said as I suspected, the sensor is fine.

Is there a way to test the immobiliser?

Maybe lock with fob button, open door with key without pressing fob, then try start

just an idea but why bother if it normally starts

Would be interesting to see what a Nonocom finds. Was he checking timing modulation?

I've seen that fault from time to time after cranking, maybe nothing to worry about.
Cold Start device? Surely you me a hot start fix??

Sorry to techy for me, he was reading something and just said he would do that diesel pump thing so I could remove hot start device. All the Landy guys round my area use him, so assume he knows what he's doing. Gave me a good vibe.

He would be checking the timing modulation. Should be around 45% to 55%, if it's higher static pump timing is retarded. That would contribute to bad hot starts.

Alarm Fault is back today, seems to arm OK! Not sure what is triggering the fault. I swopped the internal movement sensors over, but still pops up!

Who knows with these complex beasts the one i was working on today has drove me to drink

I figured you was well sorted with your pride and joy, how did you get on with the leak ?

hey, leak under drivers kick panel seems to have got a lot better but now I am back to a damp sun visor again! I think I will need to remove the roof rack rails and windscreen trim, and look for the tiny hole that people keep saying causes such a leak.

You sure it's not the rf reciever

Could be a door lock maybe?

If the modulation is a long way out you need to be thinking about chain wear.
