    Difficult to start and then stops when idling

    Ok, tomorrow I'm gonna get a new non-return/bleed valve and a new CKP sensor. I'll post the update tomorrow

    Hi gazman, you suspect this? I did check this non return valve.. Seemed OK, want stuck at all

    Sorry forgot to add that.. Yes I did when I changed the fuel filter

    Difficult to start and then stops when idling

    I thought I would give this a new thread as a couple of previous inputs were caught-up with another, which I didn't want to hijack... So.. I have a Disco 2 Year 2000. The car is very difficult to start, when you eventually get it going it doesn't seem that smooth and if you let it idle for more...

    Disco 2 Glow plugs fixed, still not starting great.

    Nope, no fault codes. Crank speed may be getting low cos I've given the battery grief today trying to start it so many times. I agree wrong thread/topic, but I guess it does seem to be a starting problem now

    Ok just taken some nanocom readings.. Engine started after a few turns this time (surprising) and the readings were: Engine speed - 764 average Coolant temp - rose steadily to 46.7 before engine stopped Fuel temp - rose steadily to 39 before engine stopped. The engine ran for about 5 mins before...

    Well I do have a nanocom, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for whilst watching live data.. I.e. What figures are wrong and what are within operational spec. Still seem to be getting air purging squealing ....

    Disco 2 Glow plugs fixed, still not starting great.

    Well, changed the injector o-rings and copper washers today.. Lucky I had bought a slide hammer removal tool as not sure how you would have got them out without it. Anyway, no difference to the starting and idle running problem! However, when I eventually got the car going and took it for a...

    I hope this hasn't hijacked benh999's thread... I added my comments because I thought it may help but thanks for the addition of the last two comments. I did a lot of work on the oil cooler side of the engine 3 weeks ago, took everything off and to pieces.. Found a home-made oil rad in the...

    Sounds very similar to how mine started off...this MAY be linked somehow, but mine first cut out whilst idling almost immediately after I had driven over a very steep hump of earth.. Off-road (as most of the land is here in Cyprus)

    Three amigos fix

    I did the wiring mod on mine about 3 weeks ago.. Now the 3A's have gone! It definitely would have come back by now. But I would suggest if you can.. Check prior to see if the stored faults show that it's an electrical problem otherwise the wiring mod will not resolve it. You will need something...

    Kinda got the same the problem with mine... Although I have previously been chasing the route of fuel pump problems because the pump was noisy. Today I've bought a replacement set of O-rings and copper washers to fit on the injectors. Mine has starting problems, this has progressively got worse...
