Is this the same wire that does the revcounter? The rev counter was playing up and then stopped working a while ago

Right, bypassed half the loom to hardwire the fuel pump, so now there is plenty of fuel pressure. Tested the voltage for the injectors and its 0.1v at best, so they arent opening. Any ideas? Thanks

Firing order is correct, spark is working, timing isnt out, will not run on EZ start. Fuel relay pins all showing about 1v iirc. Its been 3 months since its moved under its own power. I just want it to drive... The petrol might be off

Its not the pump thats the problem. Well it is, but its not the main problem. The issue with the pump is that its getting 9v instead of 12v, but when given 12v it still isnt running. Will check the relays and the ECU too, just in case. Even will ample fuel pressure at the rail, it isnt firing...

Okay, heres what my mate whos helping me has said. "The first thing we noticed was that the fuel pump isn't running So multi meter on the pins. Getting about 9v at the fuel pump. (Is this correct?) Tested the fuel pump with a 12v sourge direct to the pins, and the fuel pump runs. Therefore...

Right, did a proper bodge to try and get it to run. Recharged the battery, hard wired the fuel pump to another battery. Lots of fuel pressure, turns over but doesnt run. Spark is working as it should (but timing is out) I guess the fuel injectors arent opening, so ECU?

Thanks. Ive had a look and theres no fuel pressure and the fuel pump isnt making a sound. Started to unscrew the fuel pump, but the last screw is rusted solid and Ive not got a drill. Soaked it in WD40 and will try again tomorrow. The fuse isnt blown, so either the pump is dead, or theres some...

Finally got it back from the garage with a battery flatter than the netherlands. It took over a day to recharge it, dropped the battery in and it turns over but doesnt start. Garage told me theyve fixed the spark, but now it wont fuel. Ill check the fuel pressure and see if it runs on EZ start...

Can someone confirm the correct part number for the ignition amp? Or even better, a link to the correct item on ebay/etc? They seem pretty cheap so Ill just replace it Thanks!

Superb, thanks. Ill ask for my old bits, bit if not then those bits seem cheap enough

Even better, how do I bodge the ignition amp and drive it away?

Well Im going today to pay the bill and push it out of their yard so I can get it on the weekend. Thankfully theyve decided not to charge me any labour, so just for the sparkplugs, which is kind of them. So, has anyone got any useful links to what all the wires should be doing? Ill start by...

Ide love to fix it right infront of them and drive it away. Ive got a multimeter, so Ill test everything. I suspected one or more of the wires feeding into the coil, personally.

They litterally said "Yeah we've given up on it mate"

Agree completely. Started by changing plugs, really? All 8 of them have failed and it wont start? Im in 2 minds about paying them. On one hand theyve spent many hours on it and changed a few things, on the other hand, customers pay garages for the service of fixing cars, which they havnt done...

Ill have a look at the ignition amp. Ive not seen the relays or the wiring myself, but Ill probably head down on wednesday to pay the bill and push it out of their compound, so it can be dragged on the weekend. Is an ignition amp expensive?

They started by changing all 8 sparkplugs. Then they said the distributor was broken, and they said they couldnt find another, so I sourced one from a local breaker (cost me £80). Then they said the ECU got wet (wasnt leaking before) and it was blowing relays, so they dried it out. Then they...

Help/advice needed. 3.9 V8i manual discovery 1996. Before Xmas it decided not to start. It turns over, very nearly fires, but doesnt. Im at uni so have basically no tools at all. EZ-start makes no difference, so its a spark issue. I bought a sparkplug to test it, and it sparks once when I first...

Hi, thanks for your response We arent too concerned about the route to get there, google maps can do that (incliding avoiding tolls) but we do need advice to find the interesting bits in the Pyrenees (you wouldnt get a caravan there, hopefully!)

So my friend and I plan on doing a trip this summer to the Pyrenees, and we'de love some advice regarding the route. We're planning for 3 or 4 weeks, and we'll either be going in my 1996 3.9 V8 Discovery, or a 200tdi manual Range Rover, if Ive made the switch by then (hopefully, because it...
