    Discovery 3 towbar

    Hi all. We have just bought a Disco 3 2.7 TDV6 HSE on an 05 plate. I have been doing some research on towbars and have gotten a little confused. Can anyone tell me what I need to fit and whether the wiring is already in place? I read somewhere that the wiring is in one of the rear...

    Will have to do some ringing around on Monday. I assume the Land Rover dealer would be the best place to start. D

    Disco 1 ECM/ECU

    So, looking for a replacement ECU for my disco and there appears to be a lot of talk about having to program it? Is this necessary? This whole issue started when the battery went flat - could it have wiped the software on the EEPROM, assuming it has one. Maybe the ECU itself is still OK...

    Disco 1 ECM/ECU

    Woo hoo!! Got it running!! Had to power up Pin 28 on the ECU to get a spark and directly power the fuel pump from the battery and it burst into life!! The ECU is getting power but it's not distributing any so looks like this is the culprit!! Just need to find one now! Can they be...

    Disco 1 Problems

    I don't think that is the right one as it appears to be for a v8 with a distributor. There is no white and yellow wire. Thanks anyway. D

    Disco 1 Problems

    Thanks for the link. The first thing to check, by the looks of things is whether there is power getting to PIN 11 on the ECM. Any IDE how to determine which is PIN 11? Cheers D

    Disco 1 Problems

    Just about to go out and see if I can work out why my Disco 1 won't start (1993 2.0 MPI). Hasn't been running for months as after the battery went dead the is no spark or fuel although the engine turns over. Think I will go to halfords and get a manual first. In the meantime any tips for...

    Help in the Ormskirk/Preston area?

    It's only a garden ornament at the moment and if I can't get it going it will have to go!! Could I just take a live off the battery to the fuel pump and the coil or is it more sophisticated than that?? D

    Help in the Ormskirk/Preston area?

    I believe it's factory fitted. It's a 1993 Disco 1 on an L plate, 2.0 MPI. D

    Help in the Ormskirk/Preston area?

    He didn't look at it, he said that this models immobiliser doesn't cut the fuel and spark off, it stops the starter cranking the engine over. He couldn't help and didn't think coming out to look would be worth it. I have no idea whether he is right or not. The mechanic who looked at it...

    Help in the Ormskirk/Preston area?

    All, I have a 1993 Disco 2.0 MPI that has been off the road for months now due to the fact it won't start. It was fine until the battery went flat but after full recharge I am getting no spark and no fuel. I suspect it's immobiliser related but despite getting a new fob which is programmed to...
