Hi Guys, As a newcomer with a p reg disco 300tdi I need help.
After reading this site over the years I decided it was time to join.
Started with air in the fuel system, so I replaced the fuel lines which did the trick. Now won't start and I believe it could the stop solenoid, but as usual with the disco its not that easy, mine has the tamper proof version.
Do I have to smash it off with a chesel or drill it off, but whats underneith and what to do with the three wires. there is power getting to the solenoid.
help me its cold walking to work

if fuel is getting through to frony banjo on injector pump and lift pumps fine youve got pipes on right way round etc ,then to get at solenoid you do have to break cover around screws and chisel them undone ,just fit one ingnition live to the wire on solenoid
