Thanks Lynall. Wonder what makes the pump seize? Going from all systems go to nada in seconds. I'll have another look at that belt to look for damage, but I realise the whole area is a bugger for big hands, five thumbs like mine. I'll try to find an AC mechanic in Nice.

Our wonderful Discovery has taken us across Europe many times, and given us many adventures. This time, we left it behind in France.
A month ago we were running thro Southern France when a friend offered us tickets to the Rugby World Cup. Brilliant! We drove to the game and as we parked...

If anyone needs any further info on this problem, I'll happily provide.
Thanks to all that helped enormously with the suggestions and support. It makes a difference working through the problem with others. Best regards to all.

OK, so eventually have cracked the problem. The fuel return pipes and connectors consist of 4 or 5 sections, connected by small black plastic push-fit connectors. One of the black connectors - I'll post a photo - has a small split in it, and so its section of pipe wont locate properly. New...

My second problem :
Looks like a spark is discharging from the injector electrics (middle injector) onto the engine body.
Fuel mist and a spark - legendary !
As is clear in the photo, the heat of a stationary summer seems to have dried out all the insulation tape on the wiring loom. Most...

O.K. Bright, sunny day and I think I've got it . . . or thereabouts!
In fact, I think I have two problems.
The first is the fuel.
I have a video of leaking fuel, with only some doubt as to where it is coming from. It <<looks>> like the end union of what looks to be the common high pressure...

I'll do a video and you might hear over-zealous "tappets", but otherwise a smooth running engine I think. :-)
Thanks again to Lynall for the tip on getting the black gunge off my hands, I might show you all a video or pic of my nails, and since - I crawled under the vehicle - a photo of my...

Brilliant info Lynall, many thanks
From what I can see the top of the engine is fairly clean/dry, but below the line of the injectors it starts getting very oily/carbon black, and wet with fuel. The leak only seems to happen with the engine running, but then that would apply to high and low...

Any problems with fuel burning heater would certainly sound a whole lot cheaper to fix than maybe a leak from an injector or high-pressure rail which I thought I may be facing! Its just that the cloud of fuel vapour was coming from the gap between the fuse box and engine when the hood was up...

So I stopped and switched off !
Hi All
I have my Discovery III TDV6 S 2006 in Europe and she's been fabulous as a tour vehicle, until I had a reconditioned gearbox fitted by a Greek garage just a couple of days ago.
200 miles after picking it up after the gearbox work, she's running very well...

Not quite - we'll still employ people from GB, but we have to have a company in Europe to do it. So no, we're not moving because we thought we might, we're moving because we have to.
Its a shame, but you are right, its not all bad . . . :)

Happy owner of a 2006 Discovery III V6 S (with a couple of mods) and having used this great vehicle to tour Europe we are now static and stuck . . . but what a nice place to get stuck in !
Winter in Greece is beautiful, and while we are here we have work to do making sure we can still operate...
