Can any1 tell me why my v8 3.5 landrover discovery wont start it started the other at the first turn of the key and sounded bang on 1 hour later i went to move it and again it started at the first turn of the key but it didnt sound right it was as if it wasnt firing on all the cylinders ive got a spark at the coil and also at the plugs and also petrol up but it still refuses 2 start it is trying but just not happenin all the spark plugs have been cleaned and basics have been checked ,althought im not sure if this will make a difference but it is runnin rich

SOURCE: Landrover discovery wont start but battery is good

This usually is the starter, especially if your truck has had an oil leak going for a while as the oil will run down into the starter and cause it to intermittenly fail. Also check your battery terminals and make sure you have a good connectivity.

Hi,
Judging by the problem you have a 1.8 petrol engine?,if it is they used to over fuel on start up ,you can try changing the engine coolant temp sensor as this is the usual cause ,if not then some more info on the vehicle would be usefull.

SOURCE: i connect a 1997 landrover discovery computer to the 1994 landrover discovery and it won't start.

if it is a mems unit , it will need to be programed to the key fob and alarm . (there is no way round it).

That is a AC compressor problem.
It may be no compressor oil in that compressor
