    a foolproof method of filling the TD5 with coolant? I can't manage to avoid airlocks.

    I've drained and refilled mine about 3 times and have followed the procedure you have, then taken it for a 10 minute drive, after which the level has dropped, but while still warm, so there is still pressure in the system, I've slowly and carefully released the bleed screw until what has always...

    A flaw in that plan, by “nowhere near you” I meant we are in our place in SW France where I have a Landybarn where I can play with the Disco when I eventually get through wifey’s endless list of jobs…. (to start on the Disco’s endless list of jobs). When we’re in the uk we do pass your area now...

    You are welcome - we all want your Disco to be working again the way it was when it left the factory. If you wanted to spend your money, you could have the injectors tested/refurbished, but from what I remember of your Nanocom recordings, the injector balance wasn't bad, so the green injectors...

    That’s not good, from the point of view the PO was prepared to mix injectors. Also, none of the bolts on mine were too tight. I’m assuming you don’t have a 10P engine, then you should have all green top injectors. In theory, you can “just get” a green top injector and use the Nanocom to...

    If you check post 151, Fery said to switch to ignition position 2 then pump the throttle 5 times before attempting to start after the MIL light has stopped flashing. What a question!! As the cause of the problem is not yet fully known, it is impossible to say with certainty what will happen...

    I have only just changed the injector seals on mine and it is not a particularly difficult job. I spent more time than probably necessary cleaning the seats and general fettling and being very over cautious, but it is about a 1/2 day job. There is a very good description here...

    Yes, I agree, but we seem to have been led to believe the fault only occurred with the new ECM, which is what I had been assuming, but it seems to have been present before, so it's now a "new" fault to trace, not the original ECM failure.

    As we seem to have confirmed the fault was there to a greater or lesser extent with the old ECM this would probably exonerate the new one. This would point, as Fery said, to injector seals, very common, etc.

    Well, looking at AD004, the ECM was “seeing” your throttle input (your right foot!) but not responding to it which is odd. Also you have just said this issue only appeared after your original ECM failed points to your new ECM being the problem. What do you know about it? Was it remapped, was...

    Briefly, nothing interesting on starting procedure, I just turn the key, no throttle, it starts and I wait for the oil light to go out. Throttle response is immediate if necessary.

    Pressing the throttle is suggested for diagnostic purposes only - to get a recording of Accel. 1 to 3. which could give a clue to the problem. It may be worth looking at RAVE 18-1-18 and 18-1-19 particularly the bit in green on 18-1-19 which says replacement ECMs are configured for 2 track TPS...

    If you press the throttle, the Accel. values should change in the recording which could give another clue. I am currently using exactly this oil in mine...!!

    Disco 2 Auto Disco II cranks but will not start 3 Amigo's + M&S flashing!

    I agree with Fery, it is a shame the throttle wasn't touched, maybe you could do another recording blipping the throttle when the fault is present and after. I compared your Accel. voltages with some recent and historic recordings I have for mine (throttle untouched) and there are some...

    Unfortunately, I believe it is the Nanocom which is incorrect and I flagged it on here and reported it to Nanocom too. I think the “error” has also been noticed by others.

    Yes, I think you will need to get a recording of inputs fueling, particularly when the fault is present.

    Disco 2 Auto Disco II cranks but will not start 3 Amigo's + M&S flashing!

    I think what you need to do is get a recording of "inputs fueling" from start-up when the throttle is not working. Refer to the Nanocom manual, https://www.nanocom-diagnostics.com/downloads/preview/nanocom-evolution-software-hardware-manual , and follow the section "Diagnostics files" page 15...

    OK, looks like you are making progress. At least the card seems to be recognised now. I'll try to get back with what I have done to record a few minutes of live data and get it onto a PC. I'm not sure what your computer knowledge is, so if I pitch it too basic, I apologise. I must also say...
