Phew it is dark now, so I can now put the hens to bed and maybe go to bed myself, not with them, obvs!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Ok so you have a dodgy Foxwell. Have you tried live data on it? I have a Foxwell pro 520 and it has helped me out with stuff like this. Mine is set up to be able to work with the whole LR/Jaguar range. Is yours not?

Thanks guys I’ll get it plugged in see what’s going on thanks for your help I’m new to land rovers.

And add to that, that the exhaust needs to be not full of sh!t!!

The short answer is "no". Take the time to ensure the air filter is clear of poop, but as @Anaconda has said, if this isn't a quick fix it may well mean getting a decent diagnostic. To get max power there needs to be enough fuel, enough air...

Quite!! Could well be sensor related, Map/Iat is my favourite. But impossible to be sure without data!

I meant for the under powered comment.

You know what? I have completely lost the plot on this. Which vehicle are you talking about now, plese, pretty please, sugar on the top?? ;);)

Finished the welding on the inner wings, was a bit of a mission. I found a bit which was missed/butchered previously & was letting water in. Ive no idea why they didnt weld it but decided to fill it with silicone. :mad: that was the easiest part...

Well, it would have been nice if he had mentioned the non start was fixed and I could have saved the 15 secs it took me to write my post.

I'm thinking he will prolly sort this without, but that said all D2 owners need at least a Foxwell if not a Nanocom!!;)

Forgive me if I am being thick, but do you mean that the non-start problem was down to the Crank position sensor that you fitted? "so I replaced that and the crank sensor " Anyway, that is one problem out of the way. So it is still looking like...

I fixed the non start problem it was crank shaft sensor. The bloke. Who I purchased the disco from went to slindon off road track and I drove it home and the clutch went so I replaced that and the crank sensor and it started then this morning I...

Starter motor could also be full of mud disrupting the crank sensor reading for your non start problem. Mine was doing that.

Nowt else for it as its knocked off every morning & the feeder is almost empty.

Just had anuvva quick down pour and storm. Was outside finking about taking a cutting oft me hevva and a squirrel wonders along to the left ov me from behind me castle wall. About 4 foot away. He pauses. Eye looks down but dun't move. He gets his...

Thas fake. There's no sky.

Yep, so you remove the oxidisation, but what is oxydised is the clear coat, or paint. You remove tiny amounts each time you do it but eventually it is possible to be killing it with kindness. If you don't have oxydisation, use simple wax type polish.

Eye shudder bin clearer. Eye use polish that lightly cuts then a wax after. So takingva very small kayer oft.

😳

Without pics and other indications, we don't know. It could be some aftermarket thing. Many do come with it inbuilt, but not all. I fitted one not long ago, I bought a trad dizzy and a kit to convert it to elelctronic ignition. It all sat...

If the whole flipping thing is covered in mud I'd start by carefully cleaning it all off. Especially the alternator. It might just be an intermittent short circuit orr a bit of mud cloggin a brush. I agree, I don't think it is the batt either.

I’ve checked all connections and there fine I’ve only just purchased my td5 under the bonnet is very muddy and the alternator is covered in mud I’ve tried another good battery same thing the battery light is on while it was ticking over I took...

Outstanding reply there @Stanleysteamer 🥰 Kev 🤣

What he said

Modulator on the side of the distributor can fail miserably. I had this happen once going to work. Only until an auto electrician found the problem I too was left with scratch bonce.🥴

Its called an ignition control module, "The ignition control module is a crucial component of a vehicle's ignition system. It controls the ignition timing and spark generation, ensuring efficient combustion and optimal engine performance. It...

Your heading implies that you know what the problem might be. Once running have you measured for voltage at the battery? And again with all heavy-draw electrical items on? Should be between 14 and 15 volts. Low battery power can mean that it...

Bit peeved. Having written the whole spiel about how to remove a diff from the front or rear of a D2 to test for play between the crown wheel and pinion. For a French guy, translating the odd specialist word or phrase. He now says that although...
