On the way home yesterday arvo going over the Alfords Point bridge, the Disco stopped then restarted on the move at 80kph and the water in fuel light and hazards lights and engine management warning light came on, so i pulled over.
I thought i would just reset the car and then check the fuel filter when i got home, oh no i won't, just 500mtr down the road after resetting and getting on my way it happened again, so i found a spot to pull over again, just past the Alfords Point exit under the overpass out of the heat, to check the fuel filter, nothing in the way of water in the fuel, but apon restarting the car, nothing, she wouldn't start, and the hazard lights were still flashing too, no amount of resetting worked
We phoned our roving mechanic to see if he could help and in the meantime i thought i'd try a few things, pressed the inersia switch hoping it maybe that, nothing, tried resetting again, nope, tried draining the fuel filter again and resetting, nope, nothing, so i figured i'd get comfortable and wait for Peter to arrive, lucky i didn't, he phoned us at home 3 hrs later.
It turned out to be the fuel filter sensor (i hope) not being on far enough, tried the draining the fuel filter again but also tried pushing the sensor a bit harder and it seemed to go on a bit further
Got back in the car turned the ignition on the hazard lights went off (first good sign), let it prime the system and bingo, she fired up first gowhat a bloody relief.
I am going to have it checked to see if it was the sensor and not something that fixed itself.
Anyone else with a D2 had this happen
