Thread: TD5 ecu help.... Arhhhhhhhh

Anyway now all the Dash headlights are working but there is no fuel pump, So I thought I'd just try my spare Disco ECU and again and the lovely sound of the fuel pump was once again echoing through my house at 1 pm in the morning.


So I have two questions

1. Can anybody repair my Defa ecu?

2. Will the Disco ecu work in my Defa (the ecu is from a manual if that helps..)





Many thanks Ben............

1. Someone must be able to but I dont know where
2. Yes. This is relativley simple. I run a D2 ecu in mine sometimes. The only issue I have is the temp gauge goes backwards! There may be other differences though that I am unaware of. If you have a Nanocom you should be able to set it up.

I thought i was going insane, when the temp gauge went to the red and truck wasn’t even running.

I don’t have a nanocom but may be able to get a hold of one. Anyone?

But it should start even without "setting" it up with a nanocom?


Ben……

Hi Ben,

No it wont start unless the security codes are set at least, then the injector codes.

Worst thing is I was up there on Monday and Tuesday nights helping fix another members RR.

see if anyone more local offers, but depending on when you want it done I could probably be persuaded to pop over.
