Help please - TD300 Disco cutting out/not firing up

Apr 06, 2008 4 Replies

I have a 96 TD300 Disco, with increasing frequency it turns over but doesn't start or cuts out as I'm driving. If it cuts out when I'm driving I can recover it byturning the ignition off & on again. If it decides not to start from being switched off it can take many ignition off & ons - but it always goes - eventually. Any ideas please???

I'm guessing and I'm no expert but it sounds suspiciously like fuel cut-off solenoid or maybe the wiring thereto?

If it's got an immobiliser, then that's a favourite bet. If not, then it'll be one or other of bad connection in the ignition switch, the wire to the cut-off solenoid on the pump, or the solenoid itself.

you need to have a read through this item to discount the usual suspects.
