Dear All have now got it working. Having looked at the diagrams and confirming my wiring was correct and that the winch itself worked off the car i then shorted the POWER cable from the battery to the winch and it worked .The ISOLATION switch allowed volts to pass but no current . As the...

Sypher Thanks .I have wired it correctly according to your diagram.BUT i have not connected the earth wire to the motor ground wire just bolted it to the winch body inside the contactor enclosure. And it works as long as the contactor does not touch the body ground. I am going to take the whole...

PS Bought mine from Winch Solutions on wed ,arrived today £35 plus VAT plus postage. There are no markings on the body. Testing the contactor on the car i have used a charger to supply the live with the neutral on the bumper .Have not connected the power wiring as yet .

Landyman The one you shown is almost identical to mine .The difference is the control wire terminals yours has spade connectors and mine has screwed connections . The two screws on the body are earthed on mine .and are only 1/4 inch long . You only show one wire to the centre connection is this...

I call the whole thing a contactor and the individual coils in the contactor solenoids . No pictures as yet. It works as long as the contactor body is away from the car body.Tested on the bench and all appeared OK but I did not connect contactor body to the neutral when i tested it .Which is...

Help The old T-max ewi12000 packed up ,Have bought a new contactor and put it on .However the contactor only works when it is isolated from the disco body.When fixed to the body the solenoid works then drops off and then continues to chatter on/off (Both in and out). Control wiring i;ve used is...

Next one to tackle is there is still very little torque at 0 mph.Engine stalls at 2500 rpm when in reverse.As engine has power normally in forward gears could this be a KICK down cable problem restricting the accelerator movement / injector throttle ? Will dissconnect it later to see if it does...

There the ones from the turbo to the intercooler and intercooler to inlet manifold

Dave My symptons were exteme loss of power ,ie had to be in low range just to start it moving .Tried all sorts .Then for £20 changed the Turdo pipes between it and intercooler and inlet chamber .I did have to re-do the hose clips because they had tightened onto themselves and not the hose.Only a...

Littlelandi Was the engine primed correctly when water pump fitted ,Did the cab heaters kick out the hot air after pump replaced ? My disco has proven very difficult to prime after draining ,It took 5 mins of mains water pushing through the heater matrix before it primed correctly.This may...

Nerdos have been thinking about this for my old 300 TDi disco 160,000 miles .What i was wondering as well was can the Intercooler be bypassed altogether .Loss of cooling against increased air pressure .Perhaps someone might help us

Dave My 300 TDi M reg would not reverse off my drive in a morning except when in LOW range.Then would not pull at all .speed had to be built up slowly .Also would not pull away at road junctions which was quite bad . It would still travel at 70 mph and 3000 rpm on a straight road. All cured by...

Done it .Changed all Turbo discharge pipes from turbo to intercooler and from intercooler into plenum chamber.Initially heard turbo whine and big inprovement but today I put new jublee clips on pipes and there was an even bigger improvement . To recap on what i've tried cleaned sedimenter ...

Felix For me the pump was not repairable .I think i had 2 problems .The first was the drive key had gone which allowed the pump to slip on the shaft and prevented the full oil pressure from being developed resulting in lack of steering assistance .This i think lasted for some time ( a year or...

Landy Thanks for the reply What is the TORX ,If it is the BOSH boost pressure adjustment under the seal i have tried this to no avail .If its not please describe further cheers

Thanks for the advice Sprintmaker. Will put a clear plastic pipe on to see if fuel does actually flow back to the tank cheers

Shorty and Danny Thanks for the reply Have removed IP top (Screws needed an impact screwdriver to loosen) it was clean and the diaphragm did move up and down but took more effort than i expected though can be done with fingers. I did alter the OFF idle boost by 1 1/2 turns to see if this...

Help anyone ?

The inhibitor switch stops the engine being started in gear (only P and N ) I think it works inconjunction with the "anti theft device " Just thought i'd make that clear

ENGINE STARTING PROBLEMS Below is a summary of what the book says about failure to crank 2. Is automatic transmission inhibitor switch faulty or gear selection linkage incorrectly adjusted? YES - See AUTOMATIC GEARBOX, Repair, Inhibitor Switch, NO - See Electrical Trouble Shooting The...
