Never heard of this happening, maybe try flicking it in and out quickly, sounds like the spring maybe stuck.

Thanks everyone. I will continue with putting everything back together and hope that it nothing catastrophic. Have the gearbox back in and all the drive shafts connected and still can't find a reason for it. Regards Tim

Which type of glow plugs did it have fitted, and what type did you fit, not make but type? How long are you glowing them for before cranking?

Its out! The culprit: Now, what do i need to disassemble to unweld this diff?

Hey Freddie that was it the haldex fuse, all sorted now thank you for your help 😁 happy

Totally agree with Nodge, lots of functions run through the BCM. A BCM DTC just means the fault is on that circuit, it is unlikely to be a BCM/CJB fault. If there is a hard fault it is more likely to be in a connector somewhere.

As long as the EPB is functioning, then yes I'd also leave it alone.

I thought it was normal for the boot to not open while the engine is running if it's been programmed to do that. I'm pretty sure one of my FL2s was like that. The EPB is controlled by the EPB module, which is mounted in the boot. What codes are...

Seat belt would be my best guess going from lack of information on size. Lots of different types fitted over the years, mine are off a ford something. I think disco? seat belts have allen caps from memory

All part of life's rich tapestry !

I actually work with a couple of guys who a are more than happy with their 12 year old Drapers !

I have a Fluke in work, at home I use a £15 Aldi middle aisle special. For most jobs the Aldi does the job. The extras Marjon mentions will come in handy, as will a long earth lead if you need to reach the battery from the rear. As mentioned an...

I used to have 3 of these on my desk.. But at £17,000 each they might be out of your pocket.. Practically any £30 digital meter will do what you want.

TBH. If its a starter and only used in 12v systems you dont need anything fancy, they are cheap. I would say try to get 1 that "bleeps" on continuity checks (no volts just checking the wire) its not the the be all and end all the wire is "good"...

81 ? 16 ? is this some Secret Society 🤫

I have a split return pipe from the fuel regulator. Having looked at the videos of its removal, which I don't need to do, is there any reason why the top pipe cannot be removed at the regulator giving easier access to the return pipe nut? If...

Just an eBay special to see if it worked. France? I’m not entirely sure the range on these is THAT good!

Thanks for the advice. I have cleaned the filter and removed the fluid from the tank and replaced with new. Going to take it for a drive around after lunch and see if anything happens.

I'm not sure there's much that can be checked without Nanocom or Hawkeye. Removing relay 14 disables ACE and defaults to locked bars which is fine to drive until it's fixed.

Well, finally, after years of irritating light throttle and deceleration hesitation and hunting, I have solved the problem!! It was the injector seals and washers. I discovered this by accident. The fuel pump was on its way out, so I changed it...

So that's how it works. Every day a school day. :D

Hello Anaconda and Tottot, Lile I said, I looked into it today... I took out the start and stop combination and went to a Land Rover wizard with it. He opened it up and then we saw that the system that makes it impossible to pull the key out...

Difficult to gauge size but it looks a bit like a sump plug. The bottom pic' showing the inner face with the 'protrusion' reminds me of a seat belt bolt. The shape is designed to fit in bracket to stop the mounting turning when secured. That...

Sorry of Course. Tim from Bondi NSW Australia have a 76 Series 3 short wheel base Land Rover trying to get it back on the road. Had t pull the gearbox out to fix a clutch lever and slave cylinder through the floor. Putting it back in and found...

It would be good thing to introduce yourself,[rough location] say hello and give some more details about what it may be off to have a chance of finding out.

To be fair to LR and my Disco. Its actually been reliable. I have done three long journeys and not had a single mechanical issue. The car drives really nice, its a pleasure to drive. The actual working of the of the engine and driving I cant...

Hi, I just travelled 4.5hrs in the disco and up a mountain to 1000m altitude without any issues got home and the other key works fine!! Locks/unlock the car starts without issue but the other key is still not working. After reading more I...

Hi, you'll have to check with the second fob too and if it's the same the RF receiver is the first suspect which would cause the starting issue too cos it doesnt communicate with the passive remmobilisation exciter coil then that suplimentary...

Well. The heat shrink worked. Sort of. As predicted it was marginally too thick to allow the pin to fit. But it worked well as a shim.

Assuming it's petrol. Could be evaporation of the fuel in the fuel lines. Could be the fuel pick up pipe in the tank part blocked. Or could be the coil breaking down.
