Don't know whether this will get seen by sierrafery,but here's hoping. His posts regarding the sorting of the IDM and BCU modules were extremely helpful in my tracing and eventually fixing the self same problem. Without his input, I would never have found out where to begin-I have also learnt a...

Eureka! Fitted the fusebox back this morning and reconnected the battery. All appeared well,so inserted the key and turned it with fingers crossed. Turned a bit more and the engine fired up along with all the door locks clonking as they unlocked-big relief at that one! Checking all the circuits...

No,the pcb tracks were good. The corrosion was around the base of 3 of the big flat pins on one of the brown connectors at one end of the unit and water was present across some of the tracks in the vicinity-bottom right attached pic. Hopefully I've caught things early and my affords will be...

Many thanks for your suggestions and the attached circuit diagram,which I found most illuminating! Today ran through all the usual simple checks,fuses etc-all checked ok. From some leads I got off this site,I then checked the BCU for corrosion/water ingress-all was good. Next on the list as the...

It's a long time since I asked a question on here,as since getting some really helpful answers 5 years ago,all has been well with my Discovery TD5 (year 2,000) Millenium Edition. So,to today's problem! Used the vehicle this morning and on arriving home,locked it with the fob in the usual manner...

Hi all, I'd appreciate help with the following please.During driving today in my TD5 Disco,dash warning light for water in diesel filter light came on.Ok,so changed filter and thoroughly cleaned and dried plug and sender unit on bottom of filter.Before connecting everything up,did the...

Hi Del, Fixed it today-it now runs as sweet as it ever did!The prob was the injector harness.I checked the ECU plug and that was free from any oil contamination,but i cleaned it anyway with some special quick drying solvent i have which does'nt attack plastics.So to everyone on here who...

Hi, Thanks for that.Popped by my local Landrover man today and he put the fault reader on it-No.3 injector open circuit.Said harness was likely prob and said,as you did,to check ECU plug.Got another harness from him to try,so as I planned a service this weekend,we'll do that as well.Hopefully...

Hi, Try Docklow Land Rover Services just outside Leominster towards Bromyard on the A44.I have used them for over 20 years and there's not much they dont know,plus they dont rip you off. Regards-Adrian

Hi again, Many thanks for the response.I live in Herefordshire.I have been using the vehicle for a couple of months.While driving it yesterday around 35 MPH I suddenly became aware that it had lost its customary smoothness.On experimenting,I discovered that once above 2,000 RPM,ithe...

Hi everyone, This afternoon my daughters Discovery TD5 engine Discovery year 2,000 (Millenium model), suddenly started to run slightly rough-not the sort of roughness associated with an injector out,but between idle and around 2,000 RPM it definitely had lost its normal...
