2001 Disco II Shuts Down
The other day my wife was driving her 2001 disco II , and it just shut down on her. It would crank over but not start. she had it towed and when she got it home it would start in the driveway. So I drove it yesterday started fine drove it 5 mins or so and the manual and sport mode lights started flashing as well as shifting weird. about a min later it shuts down and wont start untill the vehicle cools down. This vehicle has driven like a dream up to this point.(no weird noises or any indication of a problem)? Thx

I know the battery is old (05) and was very corroded. It still cranks over no problem but is due for a change for sure. Thx, you eased my mind a bit. I just thought it would be somthing major. like i said the thing shifted like a dream up untill that point. Thx again.

Crank shaft sensor or throttle position sensor are likely culprits too. Both are cheap and easy fixes. TPS is more likely to mess with the transmission.
Both parts are less than 100 bucks. No stress. Take it to a good independent if you do not feel confident after the battery swap. I had an independent put in a CSS for two hundred. That was reasonable for me because I did not have the time and I needed the fix done in a day.

Gonna test the alt and change the battery tomorrow. Thx for all the advice. this is my first disco. Just a little more electronics than im used to.(not the same as my old bronco. lol) I just got the repair manual for it today off ebay. My dad owns a repair shop so luckily i can do the work myself.

Crankshaft Position Sensor,you could check to see if you have any spark to verify.You probably won't find one for too much less than the dealer. I'd replace it even if that's not your problem. It's not too hard to replace if you don't mind working in tight places.
