Hi,
This is my first post here, although I have referred to the site regularly for advice.
I have owned my 2003 Double cab for 5 years and have used and abused it for general use and heavy towing.
It recently destroyed its transfer box and believing it may have also needed clutch, flywheel and gearbox, I have bit the bullet and bought damaged 2002 TD5 disco 2 auto with the plan to convert defender to auto.
I have fitted Disco engine with uprated Ashcroft torque converter and disco box which is now sitting in defender.
This was really straight forward with no special mountings required.
I changed disco engine loom with defender and connected to original defender ECU.
I have not connected any of the gearbox loom yet as my intention is to use Compushift stand alone ECU to run gearbox side.
I got to the point of starting engine today but came across this,
Turn ignition on - usual warning lights plus foglight warning light and indicator warning lights(start dim and get brighter) all come on - engine turns over but will not start.
This was a running engine before fitting to defender.
If anybody recognises these faults, I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks Phil
