You will need the patience of a saint for a while, then you will have a reliable D2 once you have been through this. It sounds that the seller was not very straight with you. This latest problem may be oil in the engine harness to the ECM, check the Red and Black connectors at the ECM for oil. If there is oil there clean it with switch cleaner. there are posts on here that deal with cleaning the harness.

Check the ECU red plug for oil and if there is any clean it with contact spray, also give spray in the head plug too, they could have replaced the loom but it takes time for the oil to entirely leave the harness.... also it can be irrelevant that the injector loom was new if it was some cheap aftermarket cos i've seen cases when they were bad from new( i mean weak contacts in the solenoid plugs)

Looks 15 years old to me lol

Do you have a Nanocom.?
Find someone nearbye who can read codes first.
It may give you a starting point.
Plenty of possibilities as mentioned however I'd be wriggling the loom around the CPS and where the engine harness joins into the main harness just back from the steering box area.

A big thanks to Gazk , Gary come out and hooked up the nanocom ,,, injector 3 open circuit ,
we pulled the red plug dripping with oil ,,
so will stick a new injector loom in tomorrow and flush the wires ,,
NEXT

Sorry to hear about your problems. If you decide to sell, don't do what old mate did to you. Be honest. Break the cycle. Hopefully everything will start coming good for you.

I have never sold a dodgy item ever mate ,, i build Harley`s for some of the nastiest people in Australia ,,

I would never pass on a junker its just not right ,,

I would rather wreck a car bike than lie to a buyer ,,,just not worth it ,,

Geez i sold a car to Roger Rogerson ,,,, Last thing you need is a come back ,,
You end up floating in botany bay
LOL

Have a great day everyone ,, :D

[rob tilbury]

all good ,,,


My wife has been in the car 3 times and 3 times it has broke down ,,,


so she said ,, want to break down today or shall we take my car ,,,,

Thats just not funny
:censored:

[gavinwibrow]

Yeah, but just think, you almost get to have your own personal car.

I had similar with my D2 - ended up with a replaced engine, and
I've spent about twice what you have on fixing the wiring on my RRC/TD5, and it is still not quite on the road. There goes my superannuation and I'll be working until 90.
Who said being owned by a Land Rover (or two) is an obsession. :wasntme:

[rob tilbury]

Just spoke to the mate, it was not so much roger he knew, as the nutter who is now in prison with dementia. Neddy Smith.The mate was in the pub with Warren Lanfranchi, when Lanfranchi got the message Roger needed to speak to him up the road. Roger shot him. No loss, Lanfranchi was a grub. The word is, Smith killed Sally -Anne Huckstep , and shot Michael Drury, probably the only honest cop in NSW at that time. The mate said if Roger goes to the prison hospital, for any reason, Smith will get his revenge.
