    Disco 2 Auto Disco II cranks but will not start 3 Amigo's + M&S flashing!

    Yes; as that is a well known reset mode. I also lock and unlock the vehicle each day before I set about seeking a cure of this problem, but thanks for your interest.

    Disco 2 Auto Disco II cranks but will not start 3 Amigo's + M&S flashing!

    Thanks for your advise re the batterie. It must stand on it's own as causing it to start in the garage would only prove it has failed. I do think the existing battery is OK as it spins the engine with ease but it just does not start. Getting to that clip may be an act of desperation as I may...

    Disco 2 Auto Disco II cranks but will not start 3 Amigo's + M&S flashing!

    It could be the battery; it is not unknown but it is vary rare. The three Amigos appear at switch on as does the M&S lights; then extinguish; nothing unusual there. Then the M&S light up and start to flash and two of the Amigos light up then the third, hight sensor I think, the RH one anyway...

    All and any help would be greatly received. I am in no way intending to denigrate any person who is trying to help me however I am frustrated with this problem; my usual answer would be to go and chat directly with the engineer who was responsible for the component. Can't do that any more. I...

    Crank signal was first tested with the sensor in my hand stood next to my vehicle and oscilloscope! Then after reinstalling it I used some IDC prob's directly on the red connector. Both situations showed a very strong signal. I do not think the battery is the problem as it turns the engine over...

    Disco 2 Auto Disco II cranks but will not start 3 Amigo's + M&S flashing!

    The perplexing thing is the problem generated a fault when the vehicle was parked. How did I drive to that car park but was unable to drive away? A fretted wire or oil creating an open circuit would seem to be the answer but again it's a matter of finding that short or open circuit. A Wheatstone...

    Disco 2 Auto Disco II cranks but will not start 3 Amigo's + M&S flashing!

    I did check all the pass FB fuses this morning and indeed took the UB FB out to chase the inertia SW circuits so all fuses are intact. The only harness damage I have observed was oil in the red connector and in the injector connector; the red is now clean but the injector con' will be cleaned...

    Thanks for your comments I will try them all tomorrow - I am retired so time is not a problem. I do not have any diagnosis kit of any sort - yet! That is tomorrows task. All fuses are intact but I have not checked the supply to the ECU to date. I have 'found' my spare SLABS ECU so that might...

    Disco 2 Auto Disco II cranks but will not start 3 Amigo's + M&S flashing!

    Drove 76 miles then six hours later turned the key, cranked well but no start. M&S light and the three Amigo's flashing. Checked the Crank Sensor with a oscilloscope and got a good signal. RAC chap sent an e-mail of faults - CAN bus error and Gearbox position switch error. Had a spare switch but...
