Hello all, I have come over to the world of disco from the land of defender.
Just bought a 1999 disco 2 after selling my beloved defender after 12 good years of owning it. So after 3 weeks of owning it it has started to go wrong, so at least it’s a proper Land Rover. Every now and again it will start, run for a few seconds then cut out and after that it just cranks and cranks without starting until the battery dies. It’s happened twice now in 10 days. I have change the glow plugs and that hasn’t helped. The recovery man who came out the first time, spayed some magical start jizz into the big tube that goes from the inter cooler, I think, and it fired up with a lovely big cloud of smoke. He said I shouldn’t use it too much as it’s like crack for cars. So why is it happening? I why does it start with the spray start stuff?
Please help!
