Faulty fuel stop solenoid on the injection pump.

easy fix.or drive into the hedge each time to stop.

Hopefully, it will be the stop solenoid, but my Disco in Zim had the same problem. The stop solenoid was being prevented from shutting of the fuel supply by the pile of metal shards that had come off my failing injector pump!

Hope yours is simple!
Cheers!

I rekon that'll be minikow's problem too. Unfortunately it's pretty common.

As long as it's just the solenoid then yes.
