I was at the NEC Classic Car Show last weekend, most old cars in nice condition have a classic following, even Marinas, Allegros, Vivas etc. A nice D4 is desirable today if you're brave enough, so I reckon in 10/20 years a tidy corrosion free example will definitely attain classic status but may...

Lots of these Discos being broken unfortunately. Matching seats should be easy enough to find.

On the edc the stop solenoid is superfluous. I had a similar intermittent fault and was advised to remove the innards of the stop solenoid. Didn't solve my problem but I never replaced the parts, engine still stopped normally. I never got to the bottom of my woes, use the vehicle for a few...

Interesting to note that the op doesn't seem to have been online since June 23rd. Posts were strained to say the least, some people never appreciate the help they receive on this forum.

Just another query on this issue: old farm Disco is away but i still have the option of taking off a few more non mechanical bits. I'm getting the keyfob and the green ecu which lives in the passenger footwells, and I've already got the electric window ecu which was close by. Dash is nice but I...

I'm more than happy with edc on my "good' Disco but the fear is if something goes wrong with it, no one seems to be able to understand the electronics. Therefore everyone dumps that more efficient system and reverts to a manual pump and injectors.

I also like to think my motoring is relatively green. Since 1998, I've owned only two daily cars, both super reliable over about 340k miles (Xsara and Octavia diesels) I'm retired and total annual mileage is now about 10k between my wife and I, and this includes about 3k miles in my Discos and...

I never really investigated as it always came back to life after a couple of days. Anytime I used it recently, just left it running and that worked for me as it was only used a couple of hours per month. It's sold and off tomorrow to a new extreme off road life, buyer has a manual pump for it...

Stanley; stop solenoid innards have already been removed, not needed on the edc. Stop/start has always been for occasional maintenance on a farm, just a few times a month but since this first happened, I haven't been able to rely on it. Recently I've just keep the engine running for the few...

Engine always cranks, good diesel supply to the injector pump but no further. I've looked extensively on all the edc threads, never seen a wiring mod for edc, plenty for non edc. Am I missing something?

Main issue is that it's intermittent in my case and it only occurs after a lot of stop/start use. I haven't been able to replicate it recently. After a few days it will start and run normally. This Disco has now been sold for breaking but I'm getting the pump, injectors and immobiliser ecu back...

As I understand immobiliser is quite easily bypassed on most 300tdi manuals. On later ones, I think there are connections on the pump which can be altered. Later autos are different, this is the problem I'm referring to.

I've written about this before where a common problem with later D1 autos is that the diesel doesn't get to the injectors and all other fuel tests are OK. All the threads I've seen have gone dead or the injectors and pump have been replaced by parts from a manual, or the vehicles were scrapped...

I'll probably be breaking a 96 Di with grey seats (blue fleck) in reasonably good condition. Easiest way would be to remove the covers and foam bolsters. I'm waiting to get it transpirted home from storage and could take photos then but this may take a couple of weeks.

Advice was to check the wiring very closely going to the xyx switch, did the garage actually do anything? I'd be taking a second opinion.

If the vehicle is otherwise sound, pity to scrap it. I would have thought there would be interest in such a project at more than scrap value.

Pity there's a sea between us, I'm in NI and reluctantly selling our disco as a breaker. You should find one easily enough anyway.

I paid strong money for mine, chassis and underside had been blasted and painted. Not what I'd have done but I can clearly see how good the chassis is. Check inner wings closely for rust, I found some when I removed a wing but I'm just going to clean it out and protect with dinitrol and gear...

On my Edc, fuel wasn't getting to the injectors when I cracked open the pipes and I reckon it was an immobiliser fault at the pump or the green ecu in the left hand footwell and that's difficult to resolve. Hopefully it will be something easier, I would start by checking for fuel going into the...

Afraid that post gone dead mid 2020 and the op didn't bother to tell us what was the solution. I notice "thank you" wasn't in his vocabulary either.
