Hopefully last post! Picked Disco up tonight.................all ok! The mechanic, working on the logic that it was running fine before he replaced the "oily" injector loom, changed it again for another genuine LR loom. Didn't adjust / change / clean anything else. Low and behold it now...

Well the problem is getting worse. Started ok this morning after the fuel purging process, although ran rough all the way to work. Did the same fuel purging prior to starting it to go home (from cold) and was an absolute pig to start. Took 20 mins to start, even then it was as rough as a...

Yes you did suggest doing that on Friday John, and if I did I would of found out what I did tonight! :doh: Sorry for not taking up your advice! Will try the fuel purging process again in the morning, see if it starts again no problem like tonight. If so, will convey my findings to the...

Last update of the day! Just been out and tried this: Turned ignition on and left for 3-4 mins, could hear fuel pump whirring (not noisy). Waited till it stopped. Pumped gas pedal 10 times (engine management light started flashing) - this is all with ignition on. Pump started priming again -...

Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried starting it again, now its cold, and surprise surprise same old thing. Obviously when its at running temp the problem goes away. Will discuss with my mechanic tomorrow, mention the injector seals, and also see if he's come out with any ideas over the...

Sorry about the last rant, I was typing at the same as my lovely kids were arguing......... :mad: Just started it again on my way out for tea and started and idled without any problem, although it was still warm. Lets see what happens in the morning when its time to go to...

The mechanic who plugged his diagnostic in didn't think it could be fuel related. If it was why would it run perfectly when warm? Its a mystery and b1oody frustrating!

Update for today......................... Wouldn't start at all yesterday after being left overnight so didn't use it all day and night Saturday. Been out this morning (Sunday) so after lunch tried it again. Took ages to start (rumbled then died every time after about 20 trys), lots of...

Thanks for your replies, will give the ecu plug another clean (can't do any harm can it). The last time I cleaned it I sprayed (with electrical contact cleaner) the ecu socket and left it to dry raised up so the traces of oil ran out, whilst I cleaned the plug. Just as an update it started...

Hi all, Been reading all the posts relating to this as I currently have the same problem on my '53 Disco auto. Problems are as follows: Engine will start fine then within either a few seconds or several miles engine note changes and it shudders, power loss and feels as though its running on...

Just to let you know its 5" of snow here today (mid Fylde). Been out for a quick recce in the Disco and the main A roads are clear but the minor side roads and back lanes are un-touched - EXCELLENT!!!! Time to go into smug mode......ahem..............I mean go and see if there are any mere 2...

Now theres an idea..................................

Its still snowing here (just!) so the mrs is taking the Disco tomorrow morning to take the daughter to her weekly ballet lesson (well she likes doing it so whilst she still does might as well) - it'll be different than driving her Ford Focus!!

Granted its only an inch of snow in the Fylde but I couldn't wait to get in the LR. It was an experience doing (unintentially.......) four wheel powerslides in my Disco! And before anyone calls me anything derogitary (not spelt right I know) it was on a back lane well away from any other cars...

Excellent! :pound:
