Runs faultless .

Does this show up as a fault with diagnostics e.g. nanocom?

The spade connector on the solenoid can become corroded or loose - a clean with some solvent and a tighten with a pair of pliers generally fixes it. Oh, and provided your Disco isn't a personal import from the UK or from Japan ( which have an ECU nanocom can interface with I think) go back to the 'specialist' and ask them to show you where they plugged in to your disco - that should cause some red faces because the only plug around in a normal diesel disco is for the airbags.
