Agreed regarding cheese etc! The non starting thing has put in an appearance every 18 months or so. Always the same, the engine runs for 1/2 a second, as per the WSM, then cranks but doesn't start until unlock is pressed. A couple on this forum have mentioned it too. Too random to track...

Thank you!

No, they are still in France! We have just moved house so can't get back until later this month. Luckily SWMBO had her keys when we got here (to the old house). She's not pleased that her spare Peugeot key is in France! It's our old house keys so they aren't really important. I'm using the...

We are also in 16, but have spent very little time there this year (but just long enough to leave the Disco and UK house keys there😖😖😖😖). Not close to 81 though….

😄😄 Thank you!

Well done! One stress over. Where did you get the fob? Long story, but my fob is in France…..

That is a real shame. This one...

This is the motor, but currently out of stock. I know many have used it. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1408527&cc=0&pt=6920&jsn=3

Similar, Citroen GS/GSA! Flat 4, but that is where the similarity ends I think.

:eek: Mad! I have owned a car which had no head gasket, but it was designed that way...

Eh?? It's a Land Rover;);)

ERR7247 I think. Maybe the ring was thieved from the box. Happened to me on various parts.

Thank you for confirming that. And good luck with your oil pump bolt. Don’t envy you, at least mine is all accessible from the top!

Well, it’s happened again, this time from the cylinder head end, last time from the FPR. The diesel slick behind and the diesel stink made me think something may be wrong!! Luckily I was only a road from home and just got into the drive. The power steering gave up from all the diesel on the...

Great news!

Agreed x 2 !

You are correct! From the LR Diesel Engine TD5 manual: Fracture split con-rods The con-rod is identical in design to the con-rod fitted to the Freelander L series engine. It is a fracture split con-rod. This means that the big end bearing cap has no machined surface in contact with the...

Mine does as above, I checked recently. As far as I’m aware, it’s as built.

As per what Ferry said, but do you have another key fob you can try? Also, if you are very lucky, sometimes if you hold the fob as close to the RF receiver in the roof near the rear sunroof and operate unlock it will unlock. Good luck.

Check out http://www.discovery2.co.uk/Injector%20Seals.html The copper washers can cause your symptoms. The seals will only cause diesel in the oil. They are fairly easy to change.
