:(
My Disco has been having starting problems...
About a week ago after going through a car wash then went shopping & 1hour later came back to the car & the engine turned over fine but would not fire. I tried intermittently & then phoned RAC & popped back in the shops to see if I could get a new key fob battery. having put in the key fob battery it started 2nd time so I cancelled the RAC thinking the problem was sorted.
After that it commonly took a couple of attempts to start the engine - but it always turned over.
Today at the shops again I had the same problem & called the RAC again & again after ~ 1/2 hr of intermittently trying it fired up - so cancelled RAC again.
Once home I checked the spark plugs... Pretty sooty, but not evenly sooted :? I brushed them all off with a wire brush, reinstalled my 1/2 used LR OEM air filter (having removed my uncleaned K&N :lol: ) She fired up (2nd time) and I took her for a fast roads spin & everything seemed OK.
I used the car a couple of times & the engine started OK, but my last trip the engine stalled at a road junction :shock: I wasn't able to start it & ended up having to put it in neutral & push it across the road to sit it out of the traffic flow and next to the kerb (quiet streets fortunately :shock: )
A chap who has had mechnic experience offered to have a look thinking it might be a leak in the air inlet system after the MAF but could find nothing.
There is a strange whirring/ buzzing noise that can be heard from the cabin when the ignition is turned on which I have not noticed before. It seemed to be associated with the silver unit with the green sticker on shown in this picture...
Any ideas much appreciated :D
Or any good Land Rover mechanics near Blackpool???? The main dealers are a bit far from me! - Mine is normally serviced 45 miles away :(
I am now booked in at "Land Rover Specialist of Preston Ltd" tomorrow morning for them to run diagnostics :'( - anyone know anything about them?
Cheers
Mick
