97 disco cranks but will not start

I’m not sure pulling the heads is the ri way to go. That’s not going to help identify why you’re losing fuel and/or spark or whatever.

You need to keep looking. Fuses, cam & crank sensors, sensor wires, multi-function unit etc etc.

The dealer can get the EKA code. I would call a different dealer. And if that doesn’t work, you can order a new fob that will come with a programmer and new EKA code.

He’s trying to fix this on the doner vehicle he is taking the engine out of. Why bother, it’s a huge waste of time.

The only risk with the Disco 4.0 is a cracked block and that is pretty darn rare. I agree, trying to get it to run not a good use of time/resources. Maybe a leak down test, but that is as far as I'd go to verify the viability of that block.
