Thanks Mat, I got a hp fuel line from eBay for £22 which hopefully will do the job. Is it possible to fit it without dropping the fuel tank again.... I think so and others do on this platform but I suppose you need to have some protection on the line to stop it from happening again? Just need to...

I do know that. It was a joke mate.

I thought I checked it but probably not well enough! Will replace it and see if that works. Thanks

Fuel leaking from the cross member/ top of the fuel tank. Dropped the fuel tank and checked the lines which are fine. Replaced pump for a new one because I noticed the fuel line o ring not quite right. Still leaking and have no clue? Enlighten me before I light a match and drop it in the fuel...

Some have used 10 ml copper pipe and compression joints. Is that a bit of a bodge job that will last a short amount of time?

Thanks for the advice. I’m assuming it’s not necessary for MOT but would quite like to get it sorted. Got another Discovery for parts that I haven’t even seen yet so maybe I’ll get lucky. Coming back to the midlands to visit family so could pick up the pump if I need it. Thanks for the kind...

Thanks MJI

Thanks! Yeah I have the EKA because of immobiliser/ BCU problems

Just bought a discovery 2 td5 and been doing a bit of maintenance. Changing filters, oil change, plugs etc. Topped up ACE fluid and noticed it pouring out of the reservoir because it’s obviously been taken out of commission. Want to sort it out, probably more hassle than it’s worth but I like a...

Good advice! Just need to find someone with a nanocom in Orkney

After lots of unplugging BCU, ECU, unhooking battery It opened with the fob and fired up. Took it for a short drive, everything working... Got out, tried to lock it and fob wouldn’t work and it didn’t start again....

Done that too.

I did initially give the battery a good charge. I’ll get the EKA tomorrow (hopefully). I did buy 2 discovery’s, the other is for parts but apparently does run. Not even seen it yet. Good idea?

Came with only one key/fob, no security card. Going to try and get EKA tomorrow from Land Rover customer services. Tried 1515. If I unhook the battery for a few hours and try again with the fob it works but then stops after a while??

Thanks! Can tell I’m a newcomer
