Guys, i need to get your thoughts before i start buying any more new bits. My 300 tdi auto discovery has never had any problems starting and fires instantly on the first rotation of the engine until the recent temperature drop, however over the past few weeks it has been struggling. When it...

Hi Roverland, just a shot in the dark request but i'm hoping you may be able to help me. I have been talking to Davee on here and he told me you offered to sell him your spare auto EDC 300tdi No.4 injector with sensor back in January. I dont suppose you still have it do you? ..........Mark

Hi Davee, yep still got the problem.... i've phoned everyone breaking disco's on ebay ove 30 different people over the last couple of weeks and nobody has one, or will split a good engine, the details of your guy would be great, i'll PM you and get them .........Mark

This just gets worse!!! the guy on ebay sold the injectors to someone else and now NOBODY will split an engine and sell me the injectors.......... i'm getting desperate!! can anyone help?? I can't believe that everyone with a Disco 1 with EDC can be so vulnerable like this...

He says he can probably modify the injection pump to work with the 'duff' injector. but just found a guy on ebay with a set off a 168k mile vehicle so they need a once over before fitting, he says i will need to use my own sensor wire and that it just 'slots in' can anyone confirm this to be...

Just Spoke to Diesel Bob, no good..... not available and not serviceable! not looking good at all!

Latest update, the guy who did the diagnostic said, 'good news and bad news'....... good news is its the timing sensor on No 4 injector (ERR3337 i'm told, with the other three being ERR3339), bad news is you cant get them...... he was right! tried everywhere but either discontinued and no stock...

Bit the bullet and booked it in for Rovacom diagnostic, need it to get me to work and back so £35 seems well worth it, i'll keep you all informed!

i emailed all the guys breaking disco's of the same age/engine /auto box, and gor one for £20, brilliant! all thanks to the Big Lad..... this guy is a genius!!

Hi Big Lad, glad you're about, you helped me with the throttle pot problem earlier this year. yep it is EDC, already swapped the MAF last night with the spare i bought when i thought that was my problem in Feb, and disconnected the throttle pot and cleaned all the plug connections. just the...

went to start the 96 disco 300tdi this morning, waited for the glow plug and engine check lights to go out and, weird, glow plug light went out ok but the check engine light went out but came straight back on again?? started ok though but has no power up hills. It was all fine when i switched...

had the same prob, changed the throttle pot after lenghty discussion and advice on here from "Big Lad" and problem solved.

Now explain this one!! The wife told me the problem was getting worse to the point it was 'unbearable', so i bit the bullet and booked it in with the local land rover lads for a diagnostic check ASAP (Tuesday this week is the best they could do). It's a bit like waiting for a dentist...

that would be great giftedboy, much appreciated

Didn't realise Nanocom of Hawkeye were suitable for 300tdi.... but i've noticed a couple of guys in Wolverhampton, not far from work, i'll try to contact them

Just been studying the wiring diagrams following on from Giftedboy's comment earlier, cant see any wiring that links the throttle pot and the MAF, only a black link wire that links up most sensors and terminates at the EDC unit

No, not checked the wiring yet, thought there would be problems all the time if it was wiring, and as the problem only happens when throttle lightly applied might not see a fault when static?? yes a second hand potentiometer..... these things are like gold dust, probably because they are a...

Latest update guys, changed the Throttle potentiometer this morning, guess what..... no different. Still got the engine light flashing at me as soon as i let off the pedal slightly. So its not that or the MAF, anyone got any ideas where i might look next???

I'm with you Dave, process of elimination looks like the only way, i'll keep you informed! ............Mark

Can't be anything too fundamental, went straight through its MOT yesterday, so i guess that would rule out 'faulty' brakes and wheel bearings?? or would it? :confused:
