Hi everyone I’m fairly new to the world of land rovers and seem to be having a bit of bad luck recently.
I currently own a 2009 discovery 3 with 96k miles on it. A few weeks ago I ended up with a wet passenger floor which was the sunroof drain pipe which I’m sure you are all familiar with, while I was waiting for the new pipe to arrive the d3 started to develop a couple of intermittent issues the odd light on the dash and whatever all of which would go away once you turned the vehicle off and back on again.
it then had the EML on (but made no difference to the drive of the d3) then once I got it home I plugged my code reader in (it’s an icarsoft one only about 6 months old) and couldn’t seem to find any issues. Went to start it back up and it struggled to start and when it did it had no throttle response of any kind. I would creep forward and backwards but no throttle response.
I thought it might have just got wet in the fuse box (the one in the passenger footwell as that’s where the leak is) however I have now replaced the sunroof drainage pipe and checked all the fuses to make sure they weren’t knackered all looks fine put everything back together and dried the car out.
BUT IT STILL WONT RUN!!!
it will start and after 2-3 seconds cut out as if it’s being starved of fuel or something like that.
like I said I’m new to the Land Rover world but I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. I just don’t know where to go from here, any help would be hugely appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Kind regards
Oakly
