    Disco 2 starting issue now a running issue too

    Thank Sierrafery for the e-mail. Thanks Mark, I am in St.Ives, Cambs but the job looks a bit too technical for me so I will probably have the money pit recovered to a local garage:( Either that or pay someone cash to do it. Nick

    Disco 2 starting issue now a running issue too

    Thanks, no EML light on and I don't have any way of reading any fault codes. I will go down the route you suggest, just as an aside why do you think was there no non-return valve in the outlet on the fuel filter? It was the one at the back on the left as you look at it by the way. Thanks for...

    Disco 2 starting issue now a running issue too

    Update, I had bought the spout for the return pipe to the tank from the fuel filter with the non-return valve in it and fitted it tonight as I had it anyway. Took the old one off and there was no valve in it??? Anyway made no real difference, went through priming routine and car started first...

    Disco 2 starting issue now a running issue too

    Thanks your input as always very much appreciated. I see this more as a gradual deterioration of "something" as it started as difficult to start when cold and progressed to difficult to start any time. Then following on from that the cutting out issue. I can see your point but this is more (to...

    Disco 2 starting issue now a running issue too

    Having had starting issues which were only when cold to begin with but then progressed to hot and cold after being left for more than 30 mins today I have had running issues too. The glow plugs were changed about two weeks ago by the way. Went to work this morning, after about a mile the car...

    Morning, There was a similar post a little while ago, a suggestion then was that it could be the centrifugal oil filter. However as i have never heard it myself I can only pass on this info to you, hope it helps in your investigation. +2

    TD5 disco starting

    Thanks for the reply, mine idles fine hot or cold once over the initial misfire. Almost seems like not getting enough fuel until I press the throttle. I am still suspicious that something has happened as a result of one of the two things done above. Would a non oem fuel filter cause an issue...

    Disco 2 Spring a Fuel Leak

    Had the same issue, was a chafed fuel pipe which I believe was a recall many years ago. You have to buy a set of pipes which go from tank to fuel filter for around £100 plus vat from Land Rover. Everywhere I looked on the net it was a tank out job but the garage that did it managed it without...

    Disco 2 TD5 glow plugs

    I think I have a failed glow plug, car difficult to start when cold, misfire for a few seconds and Blue/White smoke. Starts fine when warm. Decided to have a look yesterday but the plugs look a nightmare to remove. Can anyone offer any tips on how to remove them? Rave is not really helpful...

    Disco 2 Misfire then won't start

    Thanks as always for the replies. Update - pretty sure battery is ok as she spins over like a jet engine but won't start. Finally got her started yesterday evening by just cranking for ages and holding the throttle fully open. SLS light no longer staying on by the way. Went out to start this...
