Land Rover Repair/2003 Disco codes

Question
Hi, I was recently on a road trip, when about 10 miles after a fill up, suddenly my beloved Disco started hesitating, bogging and pre-ignition pinging. My scanner gave the codes p0305, p1300, p1319, p0308. I was able to figure out the cylinders 5 and 8 misfires, but what do the other codes indicate? I thought I may have gotten a bad tank of fuel, but this probelm persists. Is it MAF? Clogged injectors? Fouled plugs/plug wire? I'm baffled. Thanks for your help.

Answer
Hi Moe,

sounds like the MAF could be faulty but it could be a number of other faults - CKP sensor, or TPS (less likely).  Whatever it is, the codes indicate you may be damaging your catalytic convertor with excess fuel waste.

I suggest you have the problem diagnosed by a Testbook.  Find an independent LR mechanic to save money or go to the dealer for expediency sake and get this problem fix asap.

Best of luck,

JohnMc

Land Rover Discovery. I've had most of the common mechanical failures, altenator, water leaks, wiper failure, door/hinge problems, roof rust, floor rust, loads of electrical problems. Remember, I'm not a dealer or a mechanic, just an owner like most of you.

Owner of a Discovery. I've had many mishaps with our Disco but I still like this vehicle. Talk to a fellow LR owner instead of a dealership rep. I'm not in this for the money. I'm just an owner who wants to help others.
