Thanks for all the comments. It's info like this that help develop a product that the end user will want. To answer a few questions... we have done the high engine test 3K revs and dropped the clutch to see if it failed.... nope just stalls the engine. bear in mind you are not dropping a part...

Yes I have been reading up on spinneys rat trap product.. achieves the same result on a defender model but done a completely different way. I am currently testing the prototype and the results show that if you try and drive the vehicle away with the device locked it simply stalls the engine so...

Thanks for that... Understand that removing the props means you can move the vehicle. But in reality how many thieves set out to remove props from cars there trying to steel? Never mind coming armed with the tools to do such a job. Also experience says you can't actually get to all the prop...

Hi john, Please can you explain? Intrusive in what way? my aim is to make a device which is descreate when fitted and requires only a hole to be drilled in the seat box to install. Regards Bryan

Hi all, Just looking at doing a bit of market research with fellow series Land Rover owners. I am in the middle of developing a brand new security device which with a turn of a key locks the transmission solid on a series land rover, preventing the vehicle from being driven, towed or dragged...

Thanks for all the feedback and tips. My ECU has just come back from being tested with no faults found. I am going to do the injector seals again I think. The first time the Cooper washers where deformed which is why I did it again. I have head that the blacktop injectors can be a very tight...

Okay thanks,. I used genuine seals both time and it was a genuine pump. One thing that worries me is that the Copper seals are extremely tight on the injectors. Like could not get the old ones off and the new ones had to be pressed on with some force. Is this normal?

No it is a real pain to bump start... took me 7 miles on a rope to get it to cough after I did the fuel pressure reg change. The old CPS looked like the tip had been damaged when removed and was shorter in length when compared to the new one. I did not have a shim installed originally but...

Thanks. I have checked the fuel temp sensor and it is reporting out okay... i did think I was eater temp failure as the ECU would use the fuel temp to calculate fueling in the event of water temp sensor failure. The other ones I have checked are ambient air and inlet manifold temp sensor. Both...

Thanks.... I am starting to think this may be the case.... Just one question... why would it not have any problems when the ambient temperature is above 10deg? I would have thought that if it was a cracked head it would not be temp dependant and I would also expect to have. Oil, water...

Checked there was a 12v output through the linked fuse. Checked for 12v at the input and output side of the relay. Bridged the relay and checked voltage at the end of all the glowplug connectors. Then used a inline 21w bulb on all glow plugs and when the ignition was on the bulb was...

Hi all, I know this topic has been done to death and for that I apologies in advance. I have a 2003 TD5 disco and 12 weeks ago it was very lumpy to start and then it let me down completely and I had to be recovered. Following the below work the Symptom is the car beats the key when starting...
