Hi Guys, Thanks for all your advice. Spent 1/2 a day yesterday getting access to the ignition module, rusty bolts etc. Cleaned up the earth connections and renewed the cement on the module. Cement was still soft so I don't think it's been overheating, on my Classic it was very dry when it...

No mate nothing as of a few days ago, I'll check again tomorrow, but the filler cap is hissing a bit after it's been run for a while. There wasn't any smoke today but it still ran rough, frustrating. If the leak is on the oil side then I have some work to do, and being off the road not easy...

Willing to investigate anything and rule it out. Engine temp took ages to get to 75C, thermostat should open at 88C so think it's stuck wide open. Over the weekend going to unbolt the amp & coil now I know where it is, clean up the earths, test the amp 3-5k ohms I think, and re-bond with high...

Had another go today, found the amp which has 3 wires so just need to find out how to test. Double checked that the leads were in order. Cleared fault codes anyway, none were showing. Ran really rough from cold, but got better as it warmed up just not right though. From cold the MAF reading was...

I'll have another look for the amp in the morning, thanks. Smoke is blue I think. Definitely no 2 stroke. Only thing fuel wise was to add STP Ultra to 60l of petrol, when the problems started as MOT was due. Drove like crap to the garage, but when I restarted it to show the problem it was fine...

Hi Guys, As it says I have big problems, from cold it turns over for a bit before firing up, when it does it's ok for maybe 10 secs. Then it starts to misfire very very bad, clouds of smoke and really stinks of fuel. Can't even reverse out of the drive before it stalls. Fires up again but...

Hi Guys, Went out the other day to check things out as suggested and couldn't get in. Immobiliser light was on constantly, central locking not working. Got in using a key and the green cl box was full of water, removed it, got it open eventually, dried and then cleaned everything I could with...

yes but the tanks were removed a while ago for the sills to be welded. Everything is still connected but turned off, so petrol only.

More hunting like 1k rpm+, but at low revs feels like it is misfiring a bit. Brakes are fine but I'll check the servo as suggested. From what I've read tick over is set by the ecu via sensors, but if I'm quick I might be able to vary it by hand. Got a tin of easy start which would do the job. I...

Hi Guys, Got a problem with a 97 disco V8. Starts fine but within a mile or so starts to hunt and sometimes cuts out. Always starts again and if you put your foot down pulls fine under load, and will rev smooth as anything at high revs when not under load. I've checked for air leaks etc as...

Shameless bump guys, desperate!!. Fitted lock but still left with relays clicking when I try to start. Does anyone know what might be the problem please, also could it be the safety bit on the auto box that stops you starting in gear. If so how do I test. Thanks for your time guys.

Thanks for your replies and help so far. Bit further on today, just a couple of issues left. Fitted s/h green box, central locking now works and it appears to disarm immobiliser, well lights go out anyway. Problems today are because I didn't see the locksmith dismantle the disco, s/h parts...

Thanks for the reply, sounds like I should be ok. Didn't have any problems before I lost the keys so I assume spider is ok. Take care of your keys guys, right pain in the wotsit and wallet to get sorted.

Hi Guys, Managed to lose the key and fob for my 97 Disco V8 Auto. Long story with lots of no shows, but eventually a locksmith turned up took seconds to open Disco but sadly no keys inside. He's cut a key by hand which works in the door locks but not the ignition. Weather has been horrible...

Well had the tuning guy out (Motolec) and everything is as it should be on the electrical side, so got to be the fuel pressure regulator as HC's go off the scale when it turns over. Tries to start but can't quite make it. Will have another look tomorrow but it's well awkward to replace so might...

No idea mate, not a problem for 2 years and then after an alternator change nothing but. Going to ring the supplier of the coil & dizzy and get some test values from them, got a months warranty left so if anything is duff then I can get a replacement. If they check out ok then I'll call the...

New coil & dizzy fitted less than 2 years ago (still under warranty) but it's possible. I'm suspecting wiring as I never had a starting problem before, and it's a big coincidence if they suddenly fail.

Done the plugs, re-fitted and no difference. Not even trying to start. Will have another look in the morning:confused:

Removed all the l/h bank and they are stinking wet so that's the first problem. Going to do the others now. Hopefully that will be it. Cheers Wooks

Well aware of that problem mate, definitely true. Don't know if they are wet so will check, but there's not even a cough or hint of firing which is odd and there's plenty of fuel so .... Off to remove a couple of plugs, will report back shortly.
