Hello all new to land rover
My discovery is auto with edc the engine is fooked I have a replacement out of a manual with manual fp
what wiring changes do i need to do if any

Ok, well, there's a thread on here about a garage doing this "swap", and making a complete mess of it (!) - the thread is worth a read.

That said, I have de EDC'd my D1 auto - easy job - but you do need to do some wiring mods, and you NEED the kickdown brackets for the standard VE FIP.

There are two multi pin connectors to the EDC pump - The largest one just needs insulating for safety - the smaller one contains the wire for the fuel stop solenoid, which IIRC, is white with a black tracer..The EDC 'puter can stay where it is, and the check engine light needs the bulb and or holder removing from the instrument cluster. ( think that covers it with an engine swap ) Your original #4 injector might be worth money too - so save it!!.

try and source the KD brackets from a breaker if you can - they are are £100 from LR, which pi55ed me off at the time . You probably know this, but do NOT run the gearbox without the KD cable connected - or you'll be replacing that too.

You will be well down on power ( obviously) with the VE pump - BUT this can be sorted with a full width IC and some proper pump tuning - mine is running 145 HP, which is considerably more than the EDC carp, and IMHO, was worth every penny of the cost involved.

( I've ignored details of fitting the TC/AB etc, as you haven't asked - but it is covered on the ashcroft transmissions site if you have any doubts )

Hello thanks for the reply I've read the thread on "the garage mess up " .
What i was wanting to do was swap the whole engine as the original engine in the auto disco has seized but the donor engine out of my manual disco has the non edc pump so I gather I just drop the donor engine in and do the mods on the electrics and flywheel /torque converter. sorry for the late reply

I get that you are doing an engine swap - you still need the KD brackets, AND ....make sure you get the spacing of the front of the box right - have a read of the ashcroft site - its a simple, but expensive (IIRC £90?) error if you damage the pump drive for the AT....
