Thanks for the message. So your hinting at the timing right? I will take a look at that too. At the moment, I'm walking away from it for a couple of hours at least - it's doing my head in. It just doesn't make sense to me. It was sat for about 6 months on the street. I went to move it but of...

Taking a look at those links now....thanks.

Another day trying to get it started & failing! In my last post, I asked about the amplifier but I was confusing it with the noise suppressor :rolleyes: Subsequently found the amplifier on the distributor which is a 35DLM8 type. Had all the plugs out, they're all heavily wet but they all...

I've got a tin of easy start, tried it, no difference. Taken a couple of plugs out, tried them on the engine block, both have good sparks. The plugs were wet, I can smell the easy start, that high octane fuel. I've checked the wire terminals on the coil, improved one of them & now have 12.3 on...

OK, some sleep but thinking about the Disco in the night too! Let me refresh my thinking here. So, when I turn the key the engine turns / cranks. It's the starter motor that turns the engine initially until the engine fires...right? So, there is nothing wrong with the starter motor. Fuel...

Thanks for the time Discool. No 1 & 2, is what I thought too. In my experience, which is limited, what I mean is, the engine will turn over, crank, & will make some effort to try to start. In this case, there is no interruption, the battery is fully charged & the engine cranks & cranks but there...

My last post isn't completely accurate - the fob does seem to operate the alarm. Sometimes when I put the key in the ignition & turn it on or sometimes when I open a door, the alarm will go off & then I use the fob to silence the noise.

Sorry, so I don't have the spider thing but I do have an immobiliser? The central locking fob doesn't seem to do anything. The red light on the fob flashes & I hear a kind of double click coming from somewhere in the cabin but none of the locks do anything. The driver's door lock is broken so I...

Hi Discool, thanks for the reply. I can hear the fuel pump prime itself but don't know if there is fuel to the plugs. How do I check that? When I removed the plugs they were quite wet & so I took that as meaning that fuel was there, I could smell the petrol. No, I didn't have 12v at the coil. I...

A '93 model with one button fob, I have now read, doesn't have a spider that needs bypassing, right?

She started last week no problem but now just turns & turns with no attempt to fire up. I suspect it may be this immobiliser I've been reading about. So firstly, my Disco is a Feb 1993, has CATS alarm stickers in the window. It has a single button remote control with a red light on. Does my...

...:D point taken....thanks Stanleysteamer, they're expensive aren't they!

It's sure to be covered here somewhere but I can't find it.... Please point me in the direction of where I can buy the plug to attach to the tow bar wire into this plug in the vehicle? Is it main dealer only? Thanks.

That's useful, good idea, thanks. I'm intrigued about your lights....do you have any pictures of what you've done?

Must be me!! I couldn't get a spanner anywhere near the nuts, there was no space! I have ended up undoing the single bolt holding the bumper & removing the bumper. The nut for this bolt is a welded captive nut & of course it's sheared off now so the bumper is off & needs to have the nut welded...
