I'm just about sick of my damn Disco :(:( Referring back to http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/still-got-issues-300tdi-91973.html, I finally got what I thought was the answer when I had the mobile diagnostic guy from our area come out and work his computer magic. His computers revealed 4 faults...

I'm pretty sure that you can adjust the throw of the button by altering the length of the rod from actuator to button. HTH

Hi Glugskiclumfum Well....turns out that the pump isn't advancing when the throttle is pressed. The diagnostics showed 4 faults, 3 of which cleared but the 4th pointed to the engine speed sensor. I managed to remove the sensor (or at least part of it, as the body snapped off :mad: ) so I now...

Well, finally seem to have nailed down the problem (I hope!). After getting a computer diagnosis done, 4 faults showed up, 3 cleared but code 9 (speed signal sensor) remained. It seems the pump isn't advancing with the throttle pressed. Apparently, the crank sensor is responsible for instructing...

Well. Here I was looking for an answer to my smokin' 3-cylinder disco problems, and somehow the search led me to this thread, but I'm so glad it did :) I am still ready to torch the disco, but had such a PML moment it was well worth the visit. How the hell did you lot keep your cool for so...

Right, back again! See my previous thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/me-again-93296.html Problem is still there. Cambelt changed and timing checked, all fine. #1,#2 and #3 injectors swapped for known good one, and fault still apparent. Could not replace #4 because the injector used to...

Bump! Any ideas guys? :)

After some really good replies on my thread here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/still-got-issues-300tdi-91973.html I was waiting for the diagnosis as explained in the thread, but unfortunately the guy never made it over here, it was the same day that all the snow decided to come down...

Thanks Dave, I changed the fuel filter along with the air, and oil filters (and oil) around 1500 miles ago so they should be OK. I'll let you know if and when it's sorted by posting here. Thanks again and merry xmas to you too. JB

Hi Dave, Thanks for the VERY thorough diagnosis/explaination :D I must admit, I didn't know about the 'no throttle pedal' thing on the EDC's so that probably won't help. You're right about the symptoms though. The only thing that confuses me is that the guy who checked the compression said it...

HOW MUCH!? How the hell can they justify such a difference? :mad: The way my luck is going at the moment it'll be the dear bu**er :( I really needed this right now!

BTW Dave it is the EDC model (unfortunately :( ). JB

Hi Charles, I'm in Wiltshire, Nr Swindon. I've been reliably informed that the injectors for the 300TDi with EDC cost an arm and a leg, is this true? (if so, just wondered why) JB

Is it easy to check/diagnose? JB

Thanks matey :) I'll let you know as soon as I do. JB

Yep, sorry :) It's a 1995 ('N') 300TDi Auto. JB

I recently posted a problem on here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/need-help-91153.html and since then, I've had the compression checked, and apparently everything is fine on the head/compression front. The chap who tested it for me said he managed to get it started and running fine, but then...

Thanks for that, how would I check the injectors? JB

To be honest I'm not sure but I believe so. I've since asked the original question elsewhere and it has been suggested that the symptoms point to a head gasket failure. I also had an issue some weeks ago where the temp gauge would indicate the water was up to temp, but the heater was cold...

Bump!
