Did you ever figure this out, I’m having a similar problem with mine and can’t for the life of me figure out why it does it.

Have just recently got my hands on a 2000 discovery 2 Es auto. Was sat for about two years before I picked it up so no mot or anything, has some rust on the rear chassis next to the fuel tank but that’s it as far as I know. No problems with the body, dual sunroofs but they don’t leak (also...

So I pulled the plugs out, they’re pretty black and oily, switched them over on the bugger started right up, not even the slightest hesitation. But the idling issue remained. Seeing as I’d just replaced all of the ignition coils and it’d been a pretty dry week I was sure it wasn’t damp...

Had my big old v8 up and running for a couple weeks now but I’ve noticed some strange things. It’ll start up in warm weather (5-10 degrees) but not at all in cold weather. Like in the snow recently. It’ll crank, it’s getting spark and fuel, but it won’t even try and splutter or anything. When I...

Was a fault in the wire between the pump and inertia switch. Replaced it and she runs fine.

I’m checking voltage between the purple/ white wire(live) and the ground. Get the gf to turn key to position 2 while I’m checking the voltage, the immobiliser light goes off but no power to the pump. Then crank the car over, get spark but no power to pump. Guessing it wouldn’t be a bad ECUs as...

I know there’s power to the relay, But after that what is there that could fail between the relay and the pump, other than loose wiring. Am I correct in saying the fuel gauge shares the same wiring as the pump? Just confused as to why the gauge still works if it’s a wiring issue somewhere.

Are there no wiring connectors under the car? I heard there was one by the muffler.

I’ve checked and replaced the fuel pump relay, not yet checked the other one. (Guessing it’s the other metal capped Bosch one). Fuel pump is in the tank but I’ve not checked the other connectors on it, have heard there are two underneath the car (between inertia switch and pump) but not sure...

Had my 1997 d1 for a couple of weeks and I’m trying to get the bugger to run. (Cold weather is slowing me down a lot tho). I don’t seem to be getting any power to the fuel pump. I’ve checked the voltage from the purple/white wire to the ground and there’s nothing. I get power to the fuse in the...

How many British project cars is too many?

I have no doubt :)

Just gone out and bought myself my first ever Land Rover, a 1997 discovery with a 3.9 litre v8. Don’t know much about it other than I’m 95% sure it’s got an lpg conversion,it’s not been written off or stolen, and it cost me £300. Haven’t even got it running yet and I’ve already fallen in love...
