Hmm based on my readings about the system and it’s parts and diagnostic availability I think I might just take the easy route and replace it with a mechanical fuel pump! Really wishing right now it had just come mechanical from the factory. The headaches it causes are not worth the alleged ~10hp...

As of a few minutes ago the truck has started again. I wish I could be completely confident about what I did or what changed before it started but I think you could be right, as I did move the wires around the cut off solenoid soon before the pump started buzzing again and the truck started. It...

A couple of other observations to add: 1) the fuel pump no longer buzzes with the key in the run position as it used to. I’m not sure if I’m the previous instances where it wouldn’t start that the buzzing was absent though 2) Potentially unrelated, but when I put the key in the run position...

Hi guys, I have a 1995 Discovery 300TDI, automatic with the EDC diesel pump. A few weeks back, after having been parked up for around a month it began having intermittent starting issues. It would happily crank but not fire. Usually turning the key completely off then back on again once...

Hi guys, I've got a bit of an odd problem with the AC in my 95' Disco 1 300TDI (automatic so it has an ECU rather than manual diesel pump). The air conditioning will work periodically, but once the car has been driven for a while the compressor clutch will stop engaging. If I turn the car off...

Cheers! Will try the easier stuff first then investigate pump timing if I still have no luck. The only work not done by myself while it was in his care was some wheel bearings and an ABS sensor which were replaced. Although I can see that it has a catless downpipe and EGR deleted, so it looks...

Yep I will! There’s nothing worse than searching a forum and finding someone who’s had the exact same issue and either never posted the fix or worse, just said “Sorted now”. I’ll make sure not to be that guy! I’ve ordered a new lift pump, fuel filter, and air filter. Hoping that will sort me...

Hi guys, I've recently ended up with my dad's Land Rover Discovery 1 300tdi Automatic (so has EDC pump rather than manual pump). The vehicle starts first time with the smallest puff of smoke, idles fine, and doesn't have any check engine lights. When driving it's smooth, no smoke from the...

I’ll make up a little plate to cover the hole it leaves. I’ve remove it in the past and haven’t had a lot oil leak out of it so I think it should be fine.

No matter how good the tools are, crawling under the truck to remove 8 bolts in tight places will never be quicker than undoing 5 fully accessible bolts holding the half shaft in. Especially with power tools! As far as I understand, the rear half shaft isn’t integral to any suspension components...

Hi everyone, The centre diff in my 96 Discovery V8 auto has broken in such a way that it is now permanently locked. Eventually I will get around to replacing it, but before I can do that there’s some trips I’d like to do in it. Would it cause any damage if I were to remove the shorter of the...
