As Lynall says, the latest LR disc you can get is 2012, but there are later aftermarket ones which work fine. I have a 2015 disc which finds postcodes with no trouble and works seamlessly. There are 2018 discs out there, but they don’t include the voice command database, which is stored on the...

I’m no expert on this as mine’s a manual, but could be the inhibitor switch that stops you starting in anything but P or N. If it started after you’d jiggled the gear lever around a bit then the wiring to the switch might be dodgy. Hopefully somebody with an auto can confirm/deny? Sorry if this...

Hi Russell, have had to replace sensors a couple of times on mine. They do need to be calibrated when replaced, and the new settings written to the ECU. This is easy with a Nanocom, I assume Hawkeye is similar. As for brand, the advice I was given on here was to stick to Landie ones, even though...

I don’t have the LR spanner that will fit to remove the fan, so I can’t currently turn the crank over to rotate the injector cams. I decided it was worth trying the loom before I started buying or making special tools, even if I can get away without the slide hammer.

Well the new loom has arrived and is in ... and it’s exactly the same! Same problem and the same fault logged, so obviously not a fault in the loom. At least I have a spare now! Odd thing is the Nanocom immediately comes up with the fault as Logged when I start the car up after clearing codes -...

Can’t find a genuine LR injector loom in stock anywhere nearby so have got one coming in a few days. Step one I’ll swap that over and either fix it or eliminate that as a cause. Local independent told me they always fit Britpart ones which are “just as good” but I have my doubts...

That’s a great video, very easy to follow. Doesn’t look as daunting as I thought. Given there’s oil in the loom and sierrafery’s comment on aftermarket parts I’m thinking it’s probably worth putting a genuine LR one on to see if that cures it before getting hold of a slide hammer, etc?

Thanks Si, I’ll set aside a half hour to go through that and then see if I need to take a brave pill!

Thanks again sierrafery for quick, clear advice. Not sure I have the expertise/time/confidence to start swapping injectors so it might need to get done professionally, but at least I now have some idea whether what the garage tells me makes sense!

It was an OEM loom, but not in a Land Rover bag so I guess that would count as aftermarket. Rain has stopped so I pulled the plug, there was some oil in it but none coming out where I made an opening in the outer sheath last year to let remaining oil in the lower part of the loom drain out after...

Thanks for the advice, it’s heaving down with rain at the moment so I’ll check the plug when that stops! I assume on live data I’m looking for injector 2 to have a different value to the others? If so presumably the first step is to just clean the connector contacts and see if that fixes it?

Hi all, Just returned from a long run in the Disco. About 10 miles from home she started to feel lumpy and under powered, and the idle is about as smooth as a bag of spanners. Whipped out the Nanocom and I’ve got “Injector 2 peak charge short (logged)” showing. Looking at search results I’m...

All fixed now. It was indeed the original ride height sensor that had died. Nanocom arrived today so next time I can calibrate a new one at home. Thanks again for all your help!

It was a genuine one that failed last time, straight out the box. Got a refund on it. What make the other side is I have no idea, it’s whatever was on the car when I bought it in 2016

I always have my doubts about Haynes, that’s why I checked here first! Many many thanks for your help Sierrafery I’m a lot happier about taking it to get fixed now. And after my second sensor failure in a year I’ve bitten the bullet and ordered a nanocom so I can recalibrate it myself next time.
