OK on the Rave. I have a Hawkeye but it has not helped in this problem. Hoping someone can steer me in right direction eg Ignition switch, solenoid, a relay, or ECU perhaps OMG........... Not really sure where to start. Thanks Dave

Hi all. D2 TD5 Manual, 2001. Having not been used for six months, with all that wet and cold weather, tried to start Landy. WOW !! The engine turned and started immediately on key position 2, ie Should have been ignition only.... Also making an unusual noise from running engine, so switched off...

OK thanks folks for all the help. I can travel home to South Scotland in a couple of weeks, without worrying. Get to the bottom of the problem then. Cheers

OK you may be right. Even if my box has the mechanism inards, I presume there is no way it could be engaged if there is no mechanical selection lever ? Maybe a call to Landrover, with vehicle no's etc, might get me somewhere, but with the Disco now 16yrs old, I suspect they will not be too...

Hi, Good question. I have aways assumed that my Disco did not have "Diff lock". There is no manual selection for this. It has the selectable "hill descent control" HDC system and also the automatic "anti lock braking system" ABS. Both these work using the braking system if wheel spin is sensed...

OK perfect. Thanks for taking the time to help me folks. Clawing underneath then, when I get back home in a couple of weeks. Will update forum in due course. Many thanks.

Thanks for nice clear pic. I will give disconnecting the plug a go tomorrow. It's getting dark here anb bloody cold !!! Can you tell me which way the switch is meant to work. Eg If switch shorts or opens the two wires for the light to be on or off ?

OK. Jacked up front o/s. Engine off, handbrake on, gear in neutral. Wheel turns ok several revolutions, with a little effort, but turns just fine. Is it OK to drive home (300mls) with this Lamp still on ?

Hi, Thanks for getting back. With caravan disconnected, the light remains on. In fact it is now on all the time. No other lights stay on when ignition on checks have completed their time-out, and all other functions are normal when driving without caravan. Ie no "3 amigos" or any other problems...

Disco 2 td5 man, 2001 After a year not towing I coupled up my caravan. Checks all lights etc, all good. Climbed in Disco and was confronted by the "DIFF LOCK" indicator on. I had never ever seen this lamp on before! Driving seemed ok so towed van 300mls, with light continually on. Read to ceck...

OK. Hope you are right in regard to the injector washers being the culprit ! Would be really anoyed if my things to do work list do not cure fault. Thanks for help. Will update in a day or so when work completed. BTW It's been snowing here today, so may be more than a day or so ...

Update. Ok took disco for test drive yesterday. Absolutely fine for around 20 miles mixed driving. Then engine died on me. Purged fuel, lots of cranking, eventually started, limped home with a further 2 stops in 2 - 3 ml steps. Bull by the horns time !!! Started work to :- 1. Clean sensors, MAP...

OK folks. I hear what you are saying in regard to Injector washers etc. Update. This morning, under bonnet, swapped over a few compatible relays, Lifted and reinserted most of the fuses (non were blown) and cleaned contacts for all these with Brake cleaner. Wiggled all the wiring to any sensors...

Thanks for suggestion on Hawkeye defaulting. Got a host of things to check tomorrow. Particularly wiring to various sensors eg Inertia Switch, Crankshaft Sensor, Wiring going to ECU, etc. Will also check all relays, fuses,and Air Bleed Valve. Fingers crossed xxxxxxxxx Regards DaveMac

OK. Tried priming/purging fuel as per manual. No change. Repeated a couple of times. No joy. Engine starts reasonable quickly after this but after approx. 8 mins, tickover goes rough for a second or two then engine stops. Priming seems to make starting a bit easier, but still needs around 10...

Thanks for info. I have been priming as follows :- 1.Turn on ignition. 2. Immediately press accelerator pedal quickly 10 times. Pump then runs on and off for approx. 5 mins, with engine symbol coming on and off several times, along with occasional Water symbol flash. After 5 mins pump stops and...

No. Does not seem to make much difference when I try to start it. A few days ago, during all this, it did start immediately I turned key, but afraid this was just a one off. I will prime the fuel lines again today and then leave overnight before trying to start tomorrow. Will report back here...

Have tried running fuel bleed sequence before starting, but does not seem to help starting. Starting after cutting out takes a lot of effort from the starter and I always feel the battery is about to give up before it fires into life. Lots of cranking !!!

Hi folks. Disco 2, TD5, 2001, RH Drive, UK, 101k mls on clock, genuine (Had since new.) Background:- 6 months ago, had to change Fusebox/EU unit (under dash, right side) due to well known water ingress problem. Cleared all problems and car running great until very recently. Now, with no bad...

Hi folks, Anyone with the dreaded "starter click only" problem, take note !! My Disco 2 TD5 2001, starter was playing up a few weeks ago. Got basic solenoid repair kit from www.reparkitsuk.com , (excellent service BTW) for £8. Got starter off, a real PITA, took me 2 hours. Anyway on inspecting...
