Just had a similar issue with my P38 Range Rover. Cause was a loose vacuum line. Apparently the fuel pump is on briefly when starting, then stays on while there is some manifold vacuum. With the vacuum hose off (cruise control for me) no manifold vacuum was seen so engine only ran a few seconds and stopped with lack of fuel.
Fixed the vacuum line and problem gone.

This vehicle sitting maybe 3 years, put battery in and fuel gauge says 1/2 , so crank over, motor turns and fires and runs 2 seconds, then dies. Can't get anymore life. Try ether and , yes fires a bit . Put gallon more fuel in, makes. O difference. So obvious fuel problem. Which fuel line connector should I undo to determine where fuel is getting to? And where is it located? Or any other hints ?

petrol goes stale in 3 years. you would want to remove all fuel to start with from the tank

Yes agree with intrade, drain and replace fuel.

And check state of fuel filter. 3 years with no fuel moving through it could cause it to block.

yep fresh 91 gas & new fuel filter , bleed new fuel at the end of the injector rail . pump will only run for about 5 seconds when ign is turned on so do it couple of times .

Wouldn't 95 or 98 be recommended for disco? Best to check.

Thanks Adam on to it tomorrow , I want to undo a fuel line to determine if fuel is in pipe under pressure. Tell me where or which pipe I can undo without interfering with high pressure injection system
