Start with the inertia switch, on the passenger side firewall, under the bonnet. press the big rubber button on top. They are known to be touchy.

thanks mate i have done that,no differance,if i unplug that will that rule a faulty switch out

From the engine wiring: check in pass comp fuse box: Fuse 24, fuse 14, ign relay R211
Eng comp check fuse 13, (inertia sw), link 8, main relay R100. This relay switches on the fuel pump and other functions when the inertia circuit is operated. If you temporarily earth terminal 86 of the main relay this bypasses the ECU's switching-on circuitry. It is a small blue/red striped wire to the ECU. Check for 12V at terminal 85 and terminal 30 of this relay.


I remember researching this before and working out how the anti-theft worked. There is a simple "transit plug" under the dash somewhere which bypasses the anti-theft. Look for a blue/red stripe wire in a loose plug and earth it. The wiring diagram on my laptop doesn't show that bit but it's in RAVE somewhere.

My money is on the main relay under the bonnet. Try looking at the yellow relays and see if they are identified. They are a known failure item. Check their terminal arrangement, you may be able to swap relays. Bridging the main relay, terminal 30 to 87 will also energise the fuel pump circuit.

Does the red flashing security LED go off when you try to start?

[lewy]

with key removed,light flashes,key in ignition light goes off,when you wind engine over light off.

have the eka code d d a v,please explain

Don't know if this will help, but it's worth a try.

Had simlar thing happen to my Td5 in the middel of nowhere. Fixed it by disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes and reconnecting it. Seems to reset what ever system(s) that caused the problem.

Lewy, just spoke to Dale who filled me in. Not much knowledge of the V8, but if the immobiliser is activated the alarm will trigger and light on dash should flash when you try to turn key to start.

The Lock/Unlock with the fob, using EKA or a Nanocom/Rovacom or similar will reset the immobiliser. Disconnecting the battery for several minutes will let everything power down and reset but the BCU/ECM will stay in an immobilised state if it has been triggered. That said as the alarm doesn't sound I'd look elsewhere first

From what you've posted and told Dale it sounds to me like it might be a heat or wiring problem so the inertia switch, relays, fuses etc would be first thing to look at.

looks like she is on the back of a truck to darwin,will let everyone know what the problem is when fixed,possible crank angle sensor.now 30 odd hrs in camoweel,hmmmmm

Bugger X 2!

Catch up on sleep - may not get much on the bus. :(

[dmdigital]

Hope you get home soon. Not a good feeling seeing the Disco go off on the back of a truck :(

And the winner is,crank angle sensor:),Thanks to all those who helped,particulary tony ireland land rover townsville Who explained over the phone on a weekend how to enter the eka code.Bundalene who was on the mobile somewere near tilpa,moral to the story,Don't turn it off at avon downs on the barkly.

Yep - at Avon Downs only step out to let it out. ;)
