Hi guys - please don't berate me - trust me I've done a few searches and can't find the solution.

I'm helping a friend who has a immobiliser issue. We've decided to go directly for bypassing the unit and I read somewhere that the immo isolates feed for fuel solenoid and starter motor. Its a discovery 2 by the way circa 1999.

Have proved out the feed for the starter motor with a cable touched to the battery positive. All I need to do now is route this to the appropriate side of the ignition or starter relay. Can anyone help as to the easiest route for this?

The fuelling solenoid is proving a wee bit harder to trace. I think its at the rear of the engine on the car's right hand side right at the rear of the block. Is this what I should be looking for? If so it seems to have a plug with two cables going into it. I'm guessing its a switched pos and a neg?

The notes I read on bypassing this indicated that it was a single cable with a female spade connector required to provide the feed.

Can anyone please help?

Thanx!

according to the haynes manual, the fuel relay is in the fuse box in the engine compartment,
R1 bottom left
there also a fuel cut off switch on the bulk head which youl need to get in circuit

and( it says) the pump is accessible through the the access panel in the floor of the boot floor

Ah - ok thanx. Not worried about the fuel relay (I think). My proposal is simply to provide a seperate feed through to the fuel cutoff solenoid. Is it true that it is on the actual fuel pump? If so would that be the electric (lift) pump or a proper injector pump???? I'm reckoning that this would negate the need to include the bulkhead shutoff (although understandably less safe to leave this out).

il stand being wrong

but a relay is a seleniod,why would there be two,

the inertia fuel cut is on the bulk head, bout the size of a cig lighter with two wires coming out of bottom

if you take a feed to this it should energise the fuel circuit

ps buy haynes manual it got wiring diagrams and everything

Would be a bit harsh to say you were wrong exactly but a relay is a term used for a device which uses a coil to activate a contact whereas a solenoid generally performs a mechanical function. The case of a starter solenoid is an exception as ever...... In this case the solenoid I refer to would be opening the fuel shutoff valve.

I would have to look at a wiring diagram to see whether the switch at the bulkhead was wired before or after the cutoff at the pump in order to determine whether it wil do what I need? If you have a diagram in your hands then I should appreciate an answer as to that! If the positive feed goes through the bulkhead switch and then to the fuel switch then it doesn't help me sadly. If, on the other hand the feed goes first to my switch then that's where I need the feed I guess.

As for buying a haynes manual - if 'twere that simple I shouldn't be on these forums. We are in Spain........

and moving a contact isnt a mechanical function ?

the crash cut of isnt show a diagram

but the feed to the fuel pump i a white and yellow wire and runs diect to the pump from the RELAY under the bonnet, ie no other seleniod
send me a heck for 20 quid and il post you one

going for bath

sorry yes it is it controls the feed to the relay

......... Err no!

Enjoy your bath!

Ill send you a heck for a seleniod , but I dont want a solenoid

Oim t'inkin it was a heinz manuel he was offerin' me'self!

Ya can't beat a point of guinness fer feckin up a good converstaion can ya? Hehe!
