Sounds like the pump could be bad, if you have not replaced it. A bad pump will exhibit symptoms like this sometimes and we have even had it happen with brand new, OEM aftermarket pumps. look for power at the fuel pump connector at the fuel pump in the fuel tank (the wire that should have power when the engine is running or cranking over is White and Purple (maybe White and Pink,?). These cars also have a fuel pump inertia switch (a crash protection device, if it fails the fuel pump looses power), located passenger side rear of the engine compartment, just press the button on top of the inertia switch to reset it or temporarily bridge the two wires and see if the engine now starts. Fuel pump relay is behind the right front kick panel at passenger right foot well.

hi Mattperez831. this is all i could find out from the internet. check. crank sensor,Fuel pump, ignition coil is getting hot,. A "main" relay can control multiple circuits, primarily for the ignition.. advise to him was to change the ignition module.. coil pack.. or you could try this link and read up in the forums. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/engine-stalls-while-driving.225636 or this.

The first thing to do is determine if the pump is running. Can you hear it? If yes, then check the pressure with a gage. If it's not running, then you check the fuse and relay. If the pressure is good, then you check for sparks, etc. Do It Yourself Diagnosis and Repair

You should replace timing belt ,timing gears and it will solve your problem

Unless it is from the centre blanking screw,that is removed to set pump timing, there is no quick fix. Recommend removal & service by a diesel pump specialist, Even my RR specialist would not do this repair in house

The oil light is pressure not level. The noise at top of engine is most likely a valve tap. The oil isn't circulation through engine correctly. The problem could be a bad oil pump. Be careful driving the car you could cause major engine damage.

tune up, fuel filter, air filter, dirty throttle body, put good one to gas fuel injector cleaner.

you cant remove the broken key it would be easier to change the whole ignition barrel

Try under the glove box, whether it is LH or RH drive I believe you will find it above your feet under the glove compartment. Good luck.

Sounds like a bad temp. sensor, sender, or wiring.

Hi,I would say that it is the coil-pack that controls the spark to the two cylinders you sied,this is a job that you could easerly do yourself.(if you are good at odjobs round the house. Hope this helped.

Do the lights go dim when cranking? Obviously check the battery first, It may have 12+ volts but insufficient cranking power.If the battery is OK, get under the vehicle and thump the starter solenoid (the cylinder attached to the starter) with a hammer to loosen any internal rust. If this fails, you probably need a new starter motor

Check fuses and relays ! very very doubtful motors have packed up ! also check all plug in connecrors by unplugging them and applying electric contact spray cleaner

yes

fit the hey and there will be a small hole in the housing -slot or pin that you push in /pull out as you turn the key back past accessories position. A dealer service centre can do the job in probably five minutes for you.

may be the spout (where you put gas in )and the line that goes directly into your tank has a hair line fracture?? or it might be as simple as the wrong gas cap??

Sounds like your 'purge' vent is plugged.

Jumped time, loose or broken/skipped timing chain or belt. Missing teeth on timing belt.

the bulbs need to be replaced-the friendly auto parts store guys will help you get the right ones and may help you get them installed-cheers Denny
