Hello all !!
I was at asda in my 300 tdi disco 96 plate and came out with the shopping, loaded the disco up and it just did not want to play at all. After 2 hours i gave up and got a pull home.
After much investigating I found that the voltage to the Fuel Soleniod is not 12 v its only getting about 6 volts. When i runn a wirefrom me battery directly to the soleniod the fuel is back and the engine runs.
I was going to leave this wire in place and fit a switch but then i realised that i can not stop the engine with out flicking the switch off. I would rather wire to a switched wire all ready in place.
I tried to go off the cigarette lighter as this id dead when no keys are in, but has power when key turned - but the voltage was not high enough - when i cranked the engine the voltage droped completely away no power.
Does any body have any ideas where i can pick up an switched live, preferbly in the engnie bay, that will have enough voltage to open the soleniod then cut the power when i remove the key ?
Many thanks in advance
Paul
