| FBH starts even when warm outside |
|
Hello,
Recently I have fitted a winch to MY16 disco 4 and after that operation everything works fine except FBH starts running when the engine is warm and the temperature outside is well over 10C. I can also smell the fumes in the cabin :/
The car battery was disconnected when I was fitting the winch.
Do You have maybe any hints what to check?

You could start by having a read through here?

I already did. I just thought maybe somebody was going through that and has a quick hint before getting diagnostics tool and starting to look for a fault.

Exhaust fumes inside the car is a high danger issue due to carbon monoxide poisoning, at the very least keep a window open until you have sorted it.
Check coolant and oil temperature sender wires have not come off or loose.
I can’t see how fitting a winch can cause fumes from the fbh to enter the cabin, are you sure they are coming from the fbh and not the exhaust?- cross over pipe maybe!
Have a read of this to see how the coolant temp sender can effect starting, one can only guess what a poor connection or broken wire can do, i.e. make the ecu think it is below 5c when it is 20c.

It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
