im need ing help solving a reocurring problem. im struggling to get my td5 to start. when i turn the key the only thing that happens is a buzzing sound coming from the footwell / gearbox area. i think its the fule pump i can hear. there is no light on the dash for the yellow engin shape or the yellow coil. when i thurn the key right on the engin turns over normally but doesn't fire up. but if i leave it half an hour, an hour or 12 it fires up straight away. some times i have just been driving stopped to get out and do something and get back in and it wont go.

 

like every one we have had slightly damp weather recently. it happened for a couple of days about a month ago when it had been wet for about a week but for the dry spell inbetween it has been fine.

 

my guess is that something is getting damp and shorting out. possibly power to the glow plugs? but how do i check or does any one have any other ideas.

 

thanks

check for oil in the ecu , what reg is it ?

 

Common fault, although the intermittent-ness of this suggests it could be some other gremlin...

 

See here for ECU loom replacement info... [albeit for Disco but same principal] www.discovery2.co.uk / Workshop /Injector Harness

 

Immobiliser could be an issue... if it plays up try taking the key out, open & close the door, lock it with the button, unlock, open / close the door again and then try to start it. The half hour thing may just be coincidence....

 

Is your battery up to spec? Get it tested at the local garage.... that might not be helping. Also as suggested, tapping relays under the seat might help!

 

Next thing is join a Land Rover forum and try to find someone near you with a Nanocom or Hawkeye diagnostic computer they'll plug in for you....
