(looking for and checking earth points!)

The CKP is located on the upper side of the bellhousing - above the starter motor and below the fuel pressure regulator (which can drip diesel onto the CKP if it leaks).

There's some info on the wiring to the CKP here: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...or-wiring.html

Maybe worth a check.

Hope you get up to Arkaroola - the Bararranna Gorge Walk is great!

Good luck!

Another stab in the dark - try going for a drive and once above 40Kmh use the cruise control only - ie don't touch the accelerator.

This will tell you if the electronic throttle pedal assembly is playing up. If it runs fine on cruise control then it's faulty.

Hi Simon,


I did have an FPR leak for quite a while and suspect that the CKP may have been well and truly drenched (it was leaking for quite some time).


Thanks for the link - now I know what to look for.


Do you know if the removal/refit of the CKP is a straightforward job of are there some tricks/pitfalls to be aware of?


Cheers,


Franz

I had a injector loom that caused missus but had no oil in it. Unplugging and plugging in again fixed the problem once. The second time I bent the connectors closed a little to make them a tighter fit and ordered a spare harness. Third time I put my spare harness in. All without any oil in the harness.

Happy Days.

The washer or lack of it sets the air gap.

Edit: I wouild expect a low output CKP sensor to cause more than just lumpiness - such as hard to start and poor running at mid-range revs. Some other vehicles' CKP sensors become susceptible to heat so work again when cooled with a squirt of WD40 or fizzy drink but the TD5's seems very reliable by comparison.

Other than a failed injector, is there something else I could check?

Replug the loom connectors?

On the Disco, the CKP, is not the easiest to get to or even see. (Defender is a lot easier) I think the Disco one you need to get to from underneath. If you feel up the drivers side of the bell housing up towards the front of it and maybe 3/4 of the way up to the top you should feel it. From memory it has 10mm bolts holding it and if you take it off the washer is vital. I have had a flakey one and it logged a CKP fault though.

Hi Tim,


I found it and was able to reach it from the top (I'm used to the contortions from having the FPR in and out 4 times of late :-)


I unplugged it and sprayed the male and female plugs liberally with contact cleaner - the FPR had been leaking on it for a while - made no difference.


Rocker cover off one more time - change the loom again and if no result, flat top back to Adelaide with a suspected crook #2 injector.


Cheers,


Franz
