Someone suggested that the Crank Position Sensor may be to blame as there are no diagnostic codes and engine dies when hot and fails to start?

Have removed the intercooler, doesn't appear to be blocked and I can blow down it ok. Am getting it cleaned out tomorrow, there is a bit of oil in the bottom. The air filter was dirty, so will change that, pipes are ok, no blockages. The water pump has been replaced as it was squealing. The...

Will check pipes and intercooler tomorrow morning as I've only just got the car back home this evening.!

Will try and get those checked this afternoon.

Have put a new filter on. No difference though. 5 minutes after starting the large hoses to the intercooler are squashing themselves then the engine stalls.

Will change it this morning. Seems I have done 10,000 miles since last service just over 4 months ago! Have also ordered a new water pump as it is squealing.

Just started it ok, and drove down the road about 100 metres. So a problem when engine is warm and being faster than 50. Will look into how to test the fuel pump Thanks for the reply.

It's when its warm. it ran for about 7 minutes, then when I reach dual carriageway, did 70, go to roundabout then it stalled when I started to go round it. Other times it just stalls on straight roads. Seems to be when I go over 50. I had to get recovered last night. Wil nip out in 5 mins...

Hi everyone, I have a 1996 Disco 300 TDi auto that has just started stalling at the most inconvenient places! It seems if I keep to 45 then it does not want to stall of its own accord, but when I drive more that 50 and up to 70 it just stalls. I then have to wait for about 20 mins for something...

Hi everyone, well, after getting 3 inches of snow last night, the first time i tried to start this morning, it fired up straight away!! So that’s the end of continuous turning over, and then finally starting without the use of glow plugs! It’s going to start first and every time now. I’ll...

I'll take it for a run tomorrow and then check to see if the plugs are on after the engine has warmed up. The compressor seems to be in the way of #1 and didn't want to remove it, so I have left changing it for a bit, although if I had put a new one it it wouldn't have made any difference...

Thanks for the replys. So they go off after the engine is warm and not just after a set period of time?

Hi, I have a disco 300 that’s become been a pain to start. The old owner said to always turn on the glow plugs twice before starting. Been trying to find out why it always takes ages to start when cold , but always starts when hot. After noticing that glow plug #4 was pumping up and...
