And for those of you that like piccy's... Here's one of the whole head.. The white circles are where the mechanics have circled 'issues'. The larger circle around one of the pots indicates that there is severe scoring around the whole thing, so something at sometime must have fallen down into...

Ok.. It's been a while since I've posted on this, but I thought I would post the result or the fix. I eventually bit th bullet and took it to the Land Rover agent/ dealer here in Cyprus. I explained exactly what I had done already.. The mechanics seemed very switched on indeed.... One suggested...

Thanks for the update David, I must admit the last couple of days the car has had to take a back seat, weather has been fine but I've got a major task in bringing back a boat from Italy to Cyprus and I've spent the last 4 days planning the route and fuel stops etc. I'm off to Italy to collect...

Hi Mark, no I did the O-rings and washers myself.. i was VERY careful with this, and incidentally.. the old ones looked fine but I changed them anyway. So, Im gonna give your suggestion a go.. probably tomorrow as the weather is good. To make sure I have this correct.. take off cover, turn...

Sorry about that.. It's obviously contagious! Well next time I try and start it I'll try locking myself in/ out see if that makes a difference. So, if you hear the same as me that would imply it's NOT fuel starvation. So my current option is to look for bubbles around the injectors?

Ok, latest update... It's not the CPS. Replaced it and it made no difference. Whilst the car engine was running (I had the car on some ramps), I 'played' with the CPS lead and connector and couldn't get the engine to die. I also checked-out the loom that the CPS connector was integrated into. No...

Before I go tearing the top off the engine again and looking at the injectors I.e.what Markomate2 indicates.. Could the injector harness cause this at all? Again, I would suspect it to be more sporadic than predictive?

One further thing to add.. The non-starting is a constant, what I mean by this is that it always takes 3 times to crank the engine over.. Cranking for 10 seconds or so. On the third time, it starts to splutter and then then it will start to fire. If I turn off the engine at that point, it will...

Thanks folks.. More for me to work with. It's an auto box., can you explain a little more on why the starter relay? I'll look at the crank position sensor wiring

Just to add, the water level is constant too..

It doesn't seem to be, the oil level is constant. The car also doesn't seem to be losing any fluids anywhere, with no smoke out the back at all.. Well only the occasional small cloud after I've been turning the engine over several times to get it started again

Unfortunately I have tried this too.. I've tried leaving the cap off on the chance that the tank wasn't 'breathing' but no luck with that either.. This really has me stumped!

Yes, I have a Nanocom.. No reports of anything wrong. Even if I look at the fuelling inputs whilst the car is running, it's fine and simply drops out when the car engine does, no sign of any issues, nothing in the logs

Not sure which one that is?.. the one I replaced was on the bell-housing. Surely that wouldn't cause the fuel to keep wanting to pressurise itself? i have a fuel pressurising noise every time I go to start the car

Take a look at the plastic shelf where the sun-shields are.. this unit is screwed into plastic studs that press fit into metal 'lugs' on the roof of the car. maybe one of these lugs has fallen out?.. it would imply that the shelf would also be a little loose by one of the screw holes

Hi Folks, Well I've had a similar thread in the past but here goes! So.. the disco 2 is difficult to start. If its previously cut out, you can hear the fuel pump noise and a surge of fuel (from the engine bay) when you first tun the key. Cranking it over for @20 seconds at a time, after the...

Damon spellchecker.. Limassol

Folks, I'm sure you have this under control.. But if you need any help I live in Cyprus, about 20 mins from Limmasol where Nanocom (Black Box) is..

Latest update - problem resolved! ( I hope). Ok, so today I bought a new crank sensor and another new fuel water filter, the local supplier here in sunny Cyprus didn't have the air bleed valve..... So, after changing the crankshaft sensor (which took about 5 minutes) the car immediately started...

Thanks Sierrafery, that explains that one for me.. Must admit I didn't know the difference, mine is a small plastic insert with an o-ring on one end. Hoping its th crank sensor as your earlier post to me.. Car is unusable right now!
