yes big panel under steering wheel. Bit strange really. could be just really un-lucky (like me) and the stork could have gone faulty. def check earths though.

Got a 1993 defender 90 with a 200tdi disco. Problem it once the engine gets warm the starter seems not to engage and wont start. Seems very strange but only starts to do this when warm. I have tried twice to put my own feed to the stater once from ignition and once on a switch but still i have...

Check fuses under steering wheel. Make sure no previous owner has added an in line fuse any where. (under bonnet etc). Also check all earths are clean and tight.

Check connections to starter motor and like redhand said check all earths (to body etc). smell might not be connected but for now just check main things like oils. (gearbox etc)

Cheers for that. Will get it connected back up then. The plug is off the wires at the min butim sure i can find a plug somewhere and get it connected again. Cheers.

Fitted new full exhaust system today. Seems better again. Going to do EGR tomorrow hopefully. Dont suppose anyone knows what the switch/sensor is for in top of the block. It is a twin pin plug and is between the rocker cover and inlet manifold screwed into the head. The wires are disconnected at...

Will do. ill keep you posted on what i do and how i get on. Cheers Louis.

Changed all rubber pipes today. Elbow from turbo to bottom intercooler pipe was really soft and on onside had bubbled up. Cleaned intercooler and did full servive (again). Also today i cleaned inlet manifold and fitted back on with new gasket and exhaust studs. Seems fine now revs up fine with...

Get someone to turn the ignition on while you test for power at the GP feed. You should get a feed while the light is on on the dash. Once the light goes out the power supply to the wire should stop as it should be on a timed relay. Carefull when you test the plugs if you put your own feed the...

Was just wondering if anyone could help. Under the plastic cover on top of the 300tdi engine in my disco there is a plug. Its between the inlet manifold and the rocker cover and is a twin pin plug. It looks like it screws in to the top of the block above the exhaust manifold. The wires are not...

Sound. Will do that tomorrow and see how it goes. Dont suppose anyone knows how to get the front wiper motors out. If it is an easy job or not. Cheers

Changed my sediment bowl today. Was a bit of gunk and water in it but didnt really make a difference. Next i took pipe off from top of intercooler to inlet manifold. There was loads of black gunk. I cleaned it out best i could and tried it with pipe still off. At first it was like it was back...

Thanks for advice. Going to get on with it in next few hours so ill let you know how i get on. Cheers everyone.

I took the pipe off the turbo and there is a bit of oil in the pipe but not much. Not looked at the intercooloer side yet. Could the exhaust manifold blowing quite bad have anything to do with it? The smoke is like a white colour but does have a bit of an oil smell to it. I know this might sound...

not sure about timing, air filter is ok and not checked tappets. iv tried cracking the injectors on tick over and the engine note changes on each one. Shall i try cracking them off at higher revs? (will this make a difference?)
