Sounds like something is wrong with the electrical side of the ignition.

22900013A:
It could be running on oil...if you cut the fuel off it burn sump oil, would do this if its a very worn engine.

Steel, diesel's don't have an electrical side to the igntion.... a diesel is a CI engine... Combustion Ignition - works by fuel being compacted/compressed rather than the fuel being ignited by a spark.

Also means that any Land Rover diesel (bar the TD5) is very, very easy to hotwire!!!! - even if fitted with an immobiliser!!!!


The only electrical thing is the fuel stop solenoid...
Usually a sign of faliure if engine does not turn off when the key is removed.

If it does this again then remove the wire with the engine running - should stop straight away.

Might also be a dodgy connection on the back of the ignition barrel.

If the Landy refuses to start again.....

Try running a wire straight from the fuel solenoid to the battery and try again - would highlight/isolate any possible problem with the wiring... if it starts then problem possibly found.... if it doesn't keep looking.

There are lots of other possible causes too....
(will post tomorrow as off to bed now - sorry)
