Hi, no sorry I've just taken it down the road to a good garage I know and am awaiting their diagnosis, so I'll keep you posted.

Absolutely agree. He did spend around £400 trying to solve it, but was going to upgrade (if it is that as he bought a 2016 Disco) anyway so wasn't too keen on throwing too much away, especially after pumping nearly £1600 into September Mot. From what I gather there was a new EGR fitted to...

You can if you put a spanner on the nut.

Once again I agree, but I think I might as well be 100% on cambelt and cam pulley bolts as you've mentioned previously, so I can check crank when I'm in there. The whole thing is really bugging me so I need an answer either way. There is nothing obvious from the original codes that I had and I...

Ha, and then I can paint it orange yeah 🤣🤣, no thanks.

I agree but I'm still niggled by the easy start thing 😆. No I turned the engine over with the viscous fan tbh. So when the crank snaps its not totally obvious? I just presumed it crank had snapped then the crak pulley wouldn't turn.

Absolutely cambelt has been mentioned but time dictates what can be done and when. It is outside my workshop at the moment so not on the ramp. As soon as I get a chance it will go in on ramp so I have access to starter motor etc to check. I accept I may not be testing everything in the correct...

Well I put a jump lead across to earth the engine and it made no difference to cranking. Tbh I've not done a lot to it the last couple of days. I need to check cambelt first hand next I think anyway as it died while driving so most of these other things don't seem massively relevant, although...

Finally bought a low pressure fuel guage max is 10 psi so pretty accurate. I get 6.7 psi at the schrader valve. I also have a brand spanking battery under warranty with my parts people as they didn't care, but makes no difference to cranking or voltage drop really. Well on crank we are at 10.2v...

Yeah I'm half expecting mine to be shot too and I will then be in the same boat but I'm thinking fix the one I have or it'll happen again... I'm just waiting for some guages to accurately measure my fuel pressure which are coming tomorrow..

I'm a bit scared to now 🤣

Oh no 😢

Mmm, that's what mine does...🤔

While cranking you mean? As I have never actually heard mine run

Ah ok a bit fidly to get to I suppose. Interested to know anyway. It's also interesting that you had 0.4 bar and it only increased a few psi to make it run. Gunna get me a more accurate low pressure gauge I think as I'm only at about 2psi at the moment.

Ah very interesting as I put a rag in exhaust and it didn't blow out so I was considering removing downpipe. But no, sadly not sorted yet, but please also keep me informed.

Ah ok I'll have a look. I did a quick scan of them and watched cambelt video but they have sooo many 😁 cheers

I haven't I'm afraid as didnt really get any time today. All I have is a multimeter, although dc current clamp is around a tenner on eBay, so happy to get one. I agree it would be worth knowing as it's really pulling some juice.

Well actually the one that came with the truck is showing 12.2v and 11v under load, which should be fine. The one from my X5 now seems knackered so maybe a battery is in order before moving much further on with this. I thought I had that covered but apparently not. It's not the root of the...

I only have a load tester, one of those cheap things with a guage and a switch that heats an element to put them under load.
