Yes, did indeed getting in the 11 volt range, dropping to about 10.18 after 6-8 cranks

Im really starting to hate this car! New fuel pump fitted, still not starting, cranking away, and cranking quickly, still no codes on hawkeye, m and s lights flashing when cranking too Could it be a fault with the ignition key switch? Any ideas?

Thanks Sierafery, Again! New crank sensor didnt help, so i have a good one here as a spare for anyone who needs it. No codes on Hawkeye, so i assume its a fuelling issue, im going to drop off the filter and crank her, i assume i should see a 'gush' of fuel, as opposed to a 'flow'? Gordon

THanks Andy, They may be just coming on as i crank it, I'll order a CS sensor tomorrow and see how it goes ta

No LEDS on dash, tried priming but no avail, fuel pump whirring away, although when cranking, the green m and s lights are lit, ive never noticed that before, as shes usually an instant starter cheers

I parked Disco 2 up the other day, going fine. Came out next day and cranked away, but isn't starting, new battery fitted and still the same. My first though was crank sensor, as inj loom, inj seals, are recent, red plug is dry, fuel filter is recent too. Is there any test protocol for...

Go for Genuine engine mounts, i had FOUR pattern ones fail, spent hours and hours chasing vibrations that were caused by new faulty pattern mounts

24 or so from my auto, thats a mix of driving in town etc. You might consider a prescription for Prozac as well, lol!!

I had seals go after after a few months, i used pattern one instead of genuine, moron!" I had grey smoke, an oil dribble coming from the front seal, and it took an extra couple of turns to get her started, i reckon i was getting a back blow of pressure from the combustion chambers or something...

Be a hell of a racket, i drove a car a couple of miles years ago with no exhaust or manifold, loads of odd noises, but no damage, apart from deafness!! No ill effects at all Wear muffs!

Did it lessen the harshness of the ride? Ta

Can see your confusion, wasn't the clearest post I think i now have it sorted, the ignition switch didnt seem to be returning to its rest position after starting, If i start her, then turn the key back a couple of degrees after letting it go, all seems ok I'll know better tomorrow with a few...

Hi All 2001 D2 Ace, air etc td5 for a few days, my wipers/stereo/ heated seats / and a few other things didnt become 'live' when starting, but did when switching on. A few starts and stops, and they worked ok None of the above now work at all when running, but do work when switched on...

Injector seals? Have you dipped your oil to see if its rising on the stick?

Hi Sierrafery, Thanks for your help on the wastegate thread. I got it sorted in the end. Turned out it was the injector seals, must have been causing some sort of blow back through the engine. I had replaced them about 6 months ago, but didnt use genuine parts, Britpart failed again Anyway...

Buy another one, keep the one you have and then go daft with the other one

Fitted an OE injector harness just now, sad to report it made no difference I split the grey harness connection that sits beside the ecu, it was also full of oil, gave it a clean with break cleaner too cheers

Had a look at the connector, Its certainly not wet, but there is an oil like dryish residue there, I'll fit a new OE harness later today, so at least that will rule that out cheers

Will do Thanks again Gordy

Did that 6- 8 weeks ago, Not OE, although i might go OE soon Was about 40 quid from and independent, the one before that was an ebay special, lasted no time at all, the very plastic sheath had melted Perhaps an OE is an idea
