Three week back when we had heavy snow in Aberdeen my Disco started ok in the morning as it usually does and after getting half a mile it began to splutter. I managed to get it to the road side before it stalled completely. The AA were called who arranged for it to be taken to a local LR specialist rather taken to a stealer.
Upon arrival at the LR specalist it started ok and then stalled and could not be started upon cranking. The LR spealist a couple of days later said they would have to replace the Injector harness and engine harness as instructed from a help line that they use. Since then they replaced the fuel pump and the Disco started ok, but hen stalled after 10 mins, so that ruled out the fuel pump. They are no further forward, but now have the wiring harness in and are unable to fit it as the mechanic who deals with this has been on holiday and will be on another weeks leave next week which would mean another few weeks before they could install the harness.
I have now contacted the good old AA who will now arrange to Relay my Disco home from Aberdeen to Glasgow and I will fit the harness myself which is no problem as I have previous experience in doing this and will have the time to carry out the work anyway as I have a weeks leave.
I also have a Nanocom diagnostic unit which should help once I get it running again and monitor the fuelling. But should the harness is not the cause and I am assuming it may be a fuel issue anyway ie: pressure regulator filter or air entering the system.
The fuel filter was replaced a couple of months ago and Redex diesel injector cleaner added to a full tank of diesel fuel 1 week before the problem started.
Any further suggestion would be of a great help from Disco TD5 owners who have been through the same experience
If all else fails it will be the Viking Funeral. ( 1 gallon of petrol and a match)
