Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / May 2008Stranded in my 2003 Disco
Gents: I have a 2003 Disco II @ 85000 miles, that's been pretty darn good. No issues until today. We drive into town for a few miles, go to the movie for a couple hours. Come out and drive 1/2 mile and it dies. No amount of cranking will soliciate a pop or start. Just cranks. I checked the fuel pump fuse and it's good..... and I have voltage the the pump fuse, and assume to the relay. Suggestions..??? Is pulling the fuel pump the next step ?? I also preseed the "emergency fuel cut off / restore button" under the hood to no avail. many thanks......

Mike14k Google for oil in wiring loom matey, well known issue that causes misfires & a sudden lack of anything. Quite cheap & easy to fix. If not that, could be the alarm?

If it's a V8 try crank position sensor. SignatureNige, talking utter shite since 1967.

And if I pull off the breather at the airfilter and shoot starting fluid in the intake, it fires for a second. Hence the thoughts of a fuel pump issue. > I have a 2003 Disco II @ 85000 miles, that's been pretty darn good. > No issues until today. So my 2001 DII with 88k and a list of things gone wrong with it as long as your arm is a rougue then, or is the rougue yours...? Diesel, petrol, or LPG? The fuel pump on a diesel DII makes a very noticeable whine from the back end of the car for a few seconds when you switch on. Not so noticable inside the cabin but it is outside.

I may reset whatever has thrown a hissy fit. Worked on my old Merc. SignatureBuzby There's nothing more dangerous than a resourceful idiot |
