Chasing your commission rather hard aren't you??
You can take the solenoid out, remove the internal core and put it all back and if that is all there is to the immobiliser it should start.
The only problem is that, being auto, you can't stall it to stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is an answer as to how to do that but for the moment it escapes me. It probably involves a valve to cut off the fuel supply as we used to do in the old days. As a farmer friend of mine used to say, when he wanted me to stop the engine on his old tractor, "pull its cock and make it stop!"

It's a question.
It can only be answered if the vehicle is owned by the original poster.
Hopefully they own the vehicle.

The stop solenoid isn't really needed, you could remove the innards to eliminate it. Easier to check for diesel flow into the pump by loosing off the union assuming the engine turn over on the starter? Have you checked if any diesel getting to the injectors.
I had trouble with an Edc pump, no one seems to understand them and a specialist told me he couldn't do anything on the immobiliser built into it. I sold mine for spares. If the engine doesn't crank then that's another issue.

Easy systems to rebuild and as far as the electronics go they are just as simple.

So how do you know the engine is immobilised? is the engine check light illuminate, I don't do diesel but the issue has been mentioned in the past, more than a few times, so a starter, below are a couple links there are more via (Google) which appear to me to be more informative with D1 diesel EDC system and its electronic-mechanical relationship, plus a diagnostic kit maybe required.
Unfortunately there are D1 owners that get confused between the three immobiliser systems that were fitted over the years.
Disco 1 - 300 tdi auto (the dreaded EDC) won't start...
Morning folks, I recently bought a 1997 300tdi auto (EDC) as a non-runner, with the intention of it taking over from my current 300 auto (also EDC) when I retire it in the new year due to the rot getting beyond reasonable repair. Anyway, the new one spins over but won't fire, initially it was...

Disco 1 - Edc problems
I've written about this before where a common problem with later D1 autos is that the diesel doesn't get to the injectors and all other fuel tests are OK. All the threads I've seen have gone dead or the injectors and pump have been replaced by parts from a manual, or the vehicles were scrapped...

Would you like to expand on how easy they are to repair? I've been on this forum a few years now and never found anything.

If they were easy then there would be a few reasonable prices reverb units on the market.
Its a shame that as its the hart of EDC system for the auto D1 diesel it hasn't been done.
Perhaps its another floored LR system fitted to their vehicles as they all seem to have at least one.

You haven't yet replied, would you care to share this info to help all the auto owners on this site?
I think he's gone
I get the feeling he is BoB's Minime.
He has exactly the same "I know it all and there is no other way of doing it" attitude.
