Well I am looking for some advice on my 1995 3.9 v8 Auto. I have had 6 tdi's but this is my first v8i am Im experiencing some problems Ive not entcountered with my tdi's. There are a few faults and not sure if they are linked or if she's fooked! So I'll list them and see where it takes me.
Fault 1 - While driving when the engine is warmed up the "check engine" light pops on and the revs drop to zero then straight back up and the light go off. When this happens you can hear a relay under the steering wheel.
Fault 2 - Immobiliser cuts in, you have to pull over arm then disarm and start it again. This I know to be a common fault and requires a bypass behind the stereo.
Fault 3 - Engine loses power as if there is no fuel, give it a few mins and she starts again.
Fault 4 - Ocassionly while driving it loses loads of power but still runs, feels like its firing. Pull over give it a min then turn it over and it runs fine, and couple of times its worked its self out.
Fault 5 - As with every Discovery it likes "marking" its territory. She is leeking engine oil which I believe to be at the top of the engine but will jet wash to locate the leak.
Are any of these fault likely to be connected?
Now the starter motor does not work on the key and is on a seperate button. The twin towing electrics dont work either. Doubt these would affect it but thought Id mention it.
Hope someone can help
