Thanks for that pwood999 I’ve changed the sensor now let’s see how it goes ,I’ve got my fingers crossed .There was a cam sensor fault code stored this time also a fault code for the knock sensors which I believe could be connected,time will tell .

Thanks pwood999 for posting that my car is post 1999 I’m not sure if the same applies.

Well my new sensor arrived today and I have fitted it what a PITA that was It was all done by feel as the plugs are under the water pump.Jackie came out when I was halfway through and said how’s it going “ I feel like a gynaecologist “ but it’s fitted the car does sound a bit smoother I think...

Thanks for the reply ,I we took the car out today and it ran fine .I’ll try the cam sensor as I’ve ordered it ,the trouble is in the past it will run fine for a month then you try to start it and it just turns over leave it for 10 minutes and it’s back to normal.

That’s SPOOKY I went out this morning disconnected the crank sensor cleaned the two halves of the plug replaced the orange silicone seal reconnected it and gave it a coat of silicone spray.The car starts and runs fine at the moment I’ve got a new CAM sensor on the way .

Thanks Henry ,that was my first thought the crank sensor so I changed it a month ago but I had the problem again yesterday.This time there was a fault code stored related to the CAM sensor.

I’ve just had a look at the cam sensor ,should it have a metal fork like bracket with a bolt through it holding it in position,if it should my fork part is missing it’s a 1999 Thor engine ?.

She thought he was pretty good as well .

My Wife Jackie thinks you guys are magicians anything that go’s wrong with the car any odd noises or warning light ,she says ask your friends on Landyzone they will know and you normally do ,I just told her about your post “I told you they would know “.

Thanks for the reply ,the battery terminals are tight .The fact it starts when it cools down was one of the reasons I thought it my be the sensor ,I’ve found some new old stock on eBay for £150 and I’ve ordered one I’ll check the connections when I change it .

Hi Folks I would very much like your opinion on an intermittent fault I have on my 1999 4.7 Thor engined p38 for the last few months it would very occasionally be quite difficult to start this would occur about once a month. I’d lift the bonnet have a look to see if anything obvious was wrong...

Hi Folks I am considering buying a Discovery 3 diesel is there any particular faults they suffer from ,I’ve noticed that there appears to be 2 engine types the 2.7 V6 and the 3 litre V6 which is likely to be the most reliable and is one particular engine easier to work on .Sorry about the...

Hi Folks I am going to look at a Discovery 2 later today with a view to possibly buy it ,the guy tells me the rear door locks are giving trouble apparently one sticks and one is faulty (his words ) is it a common problem for the rear door locks to give trouble ?.
