    Disco 1 not cranking by the key?????

    Possibly a dumb question, but have you tried locking it & then unlocking it with the remote? All the Discos I've ever had have done this at least once or twice. But if you think that's bad try Jeep, I've just unloaded a 97 grand Cherokee, 2.5td. If you leave it more than a minute or two...

    Considering Discovery 3 2.7 diesel what are known problems

    The 2.7 lump is a joint venture engine made by Ford in Dagenham but designed with Peugeot/Citroen so parts are readily available, same lump went in Jags, Citroen C5 & C6 Peugeot 407 & 607. I used to haul them to the PSA plant in Rennes.

    disco holding back help please

    Another thing to check, there's a pipe that runs from underneath the turbo round the back of the engine to the injector pump. This tells the pump how much the turbo is boosting so that it can increase the fuel supply consequently. Mine blew behind the engine where it can't be seen. Just unplug...

    Disco1 vibrates at 70mph

    Where does the problem feel to be coming from? Front or Rear? I'd be checking the tyres first for pressure & normal wear. then shock absorbers, then all the suspension joints and so on. It may be helpful to you to have somebody follow you to see if there's anything obvious when it happens...

    Disco 300tdi Heater Core/Matrix

    I was contacted today by Disco_Kin who's just down the road from me in Annecy, apparently his heater has just dumped in the footwell as he was coming over from the UK. We're going to have a look at it on saturday, no aircon to worry about (phew) but from what I've been reading it's an arse of...

    Electrical problem

    I once had a similar problem on a Lancia, turned out to be a sticky central locking solenoid. sometimes it just wouldn't pull all the way, the car would lock but the solenoid would stay energised & drain the battery. Took me ages to suss it though. Those intermittent faults are the worst as...

    Injectors 300 tdi

    This might sound stating the bleeding obvious, but the obvious sometimes gets overlooked. Have you checked the cold start on the pump if mechanical or the sensor connection if EDC?

    300 tdi Disco Starving.

    Sorted. Some German dick had put a stock banjo bolt in the tank return outlet on the pump instead of the restrictor bolt it should have had. Scrapper provided one from a dead Citroen, now it goes properly.

    Disco 300tdi Starving;

    Well good news here, Did a bit of digging around on the web looking for replacement injection pumps & found a "how to" on Bosch pumps which linked to a pdf on servicing them. I read through all the bits about the vane pump & the high pressure head & the advance , until my head was swimming...

    Disco 300tdi Starving;

    Checked the boost control diaphragm, & the shutoff valve this morning & both ok. Somebody has already had the anti-theft system off the pump as it's just got ordinary screws holding it on not shear-bolts & the pump has yellow paint marks on it, which tells me it's either been changed or...

    300 tdi Disco Starving.

    Checked the boost control diaphragm this morning & that's ok. With no load on, from idle, if you floor it it whips straight to over 4000 before choking, if you run it up gently it starts the odd miss about 2500 & cuts in & out at about 3000. Everything points to a fuel delivery problem, but...

    300 tdi Disco Starving.

    Could be I suppose, but doesn't feel like it, turbo's boosting, no black smoke. Like I say runs sweet as a nut up til the boost comes on then just runs out of juice.

    300 tdi Disco Starving.

    Hi all, I'm new to the forum but not to Landys, I've got a problem that's driving me nuts. I picked up a '97 Disco 300tdi a few weeks back, no history & I knew it needed work but it was cheap. The problem I have is this, it fires up & idles like a sewing machine (albeit a noisy one) runs...
