She started! Thanks so much for the advice, really appreciate it 😁 the connector in the plug for the exciter wire had come loose in the fuse box (small brown plug). Fired up a treat and sounds good. Time to get the rest of the truck built up 😊.

Brilliant, thanks again. Will head out now and test 😁👍

Progress! 😂 After speaking to my main dealer a few times today and being given multiple codes, I finally got the correct EKA code and it worked! :) I now have full access on Nanocom and can start digging deeper into why its not starting. When I turn the key to position 3 (start) I can hear a...

Thanks Sierrafery. I'll try and figure that out as the next step 😂. Is it true that after inputting EKA code, I have to wait for 5 mins then there is a 30 second window to get the keys in the ignition?

So I got my Nanocom back today and tried to access the BCU to check the EKA I'm trying to enter is correct but it's coming up with an error saying "Unable to start communications with the ECU" Do you think this is due to the ECU being immobilized?

When I'm inputting the EKA code into the door, do all the doors and tailgate have to be closed. Just a thought but the tailgate electrics aren't currently wired up and wondering if that's stopping it from working?

I never got any paperwork with the donor vehicle (04 facelift) but I went to land rover this afternoon with ownership documents and they gave me the 4 digit EKA code. Lent my Nanocom to a mate to borrow over the weekend but getting it back on Wednesday so can check the code then. Don't suppose...

You were spot on mate 🤟 feel like a right donut, left one grey plug off the top right of the IDM. Good news is I now have power to the IP and all looks to be working correctly but still not able to start it? Shall I swap the drivers doors so the lock matches the key and then try the eka code again?

Legend! Thanks for confirming that Sierra 👍 I had a feeling that the IP was a key component in the loop so to speak. I'll double check all the wiring and report back. Yes I did swap all the wiring and modules etc from the facelift into the original vehicle, IDM and BCU included. All the...

Hi there, I am currently in the process of trying to restore my 2002 Discovery 2 TD5. The engine was knackered, and the car’s interior had been stripped but I found a salvage vehicle with a low mileage, 15p engine and landmark interior (2004 MY) My intentions were to completely strip both...

Was this ever resolved?

Thanks for the suggestion. What would cause the block to not be flat? I don't believe the head has ever been off in the past and its not overheated. Could this happen over time due to heat cycles? Thanks, Ben

Yep, lost around 250 ml on my 10 mile commute this morning

I just pressure tested the cooling system and that held pressure for 20 mins with no leaks. I do have a compression tester, how would I go about this test on the TD5? Is it as simple as pulling the glow plugs, disconnecting injector loom, then cranking with the compression tester on each cylinder??

Looks like it was a transmission fluid warning 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Should have done my research before looking like a plonker 😂 Really appreciate your help :) I'll top up the coolant again to that seam and monitor how much it drains over the next couple of days :)
