....whereabouts are you sierrafery? OK, thanks discool, as I said, I will try in the morning in the daylight.

Thanks. I haven't managed to find the inertia switch regardless. Just been out to have another look at it....I have found continuity between pin 87 & the plug socket at the pump, so that means there is power, right? However, I can find no continuity between pin 85 earth & the earth connector on...

....I saw the diagram but missed your advice...thanks I will try that.

That's very kind of you, thank you. I have been stripping things back to follow various cables, this should really help. I also used a slave wire from the earth pin on the black relay plug, running it to the battery. It stopped the relay buzzing when the key was switched off but neither relay...

OK thanks so I need to concentrate on the other one first....

....

....

..I should of said added: pin no 85 I think is the earth cable. Please note, I have no wiring diagram or anything to reference to hand!

OK.....thus far: I have a spark...great. The relays.....when the ignition is on: neither relay makes a sound, when cranking neither relay makes a sound. When I turn the ignition back to position 1, the relay with the blue plug does nothing, the other relay buzzes. I'm now trying to...

Many thanks, that's great advice...I'll get out there when the rain stops!

Hi, thanks for the advice. You may have noticed my previous posts on here...so, I bench tested the relays & purchased 2 new ones because I had convinced myself they were faulty before I tested them. Iv'e been told that bench testing them doesn't mean they are OK. The old relays are metal cased...

Thanks for the diagram, that's a great help.....raining here at present but I'll investigate further this morning if there's a break....

I'm unclear about what that means...are you meaning the relay shouldn't be buzzing at all therefore it points to something else & not the inertia switch? ( If I can find one)

Does that mean that not all the models would have the inertia switch? I agree, I can't think of a reason to remove it. The previous owner owned it for 23 years, it's 2 previous owners from new & it's in great shape for a 27 year old vehicle; still has the original front & rear number plates with...

Hi & thanks. When I first joined earlier, I missed the fact that the website covers all the ranges! It is a Discovery Series 1.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I will investigate the sparks tomorrow in the daylight. Sadly, I don't have the luxury of a garage. Interesting what you said about the relays, so there is no correlation between on the bench / in position in the car. I have looked for the inertia fuel cut off switch...

Hi, I don't know what it is whilst cranking, I will try to ascertain that tomorrow, it's dark here now. I did take a reading across the battery terminals when the battery was back in place, of 12.53 volts. I took the battery off the vehicle yesterday afternoon when I took ownership of the...

What do you mean?
