hi all, how easy would it be to swap my manual gearbox for an auto in my Xreg discovery 2???? its a 4.0 v8 with lpg conversion. is it just a case of changing gearbox over, plugging it in and then swapping the ecu? or is there loads of electrckery to deal with? cheers, jon

i hope i have better luck too, fingers crossed. if you know anyone that may want a bit of a project please let me know, the disco has been looked after it just needs a new head.. £2250 takes it mate

nice idea mate but ive had it with the f*$"ing thing, its took too much money... i must be a glutten for punishment but the wife has borrowed some dosh of her dad and weve been out and bought a 4.0l lpg disco 2............. to be honest, im well impressed so far and i hope it stays that way. i...

ive seen that the 15p is set up differently to the 10p on the radiator etc but i imagine that can be modified to suite. the egr should'nt be too difficult to sort as the egr removal kit could cure that, it's just the electrics that may cause dramas. i now remember that putting my injectors in...

hiya ratty, i know what your saying in your last thread... im totally gutted with my td5 at the min however i do have a couple of ideas blowing through my mind and was wondering if you could help. is it possible to transplant a 300tdi into my disco td5? i know there is a lot of electronic...

just short of 400 quid which at the time i thought was a good deal, more fool me eh

ya'd think so ratty but it was done by one of my mechanic mates so ive rubber dicked myself big time mate...... wish id gone to a proper garage and payed full price then it would be under warrenty

changed the water pump cos i thought id got a bad circulation of cooling system but also just for peace of mind. it does have air-con and i did have heaters to full while bleeding. ive been out first thing this morning to check and top up expansion tank and ive had a drive round to get up to...

my previous head was porous so i had another good head sourced, pressure tested and skimmed (i know your not supposed to skim td5 heads) but this was found to be good before and after pressure test and skim. i have recently changed the thermostat and water pump and ive bled system as per the...

hi ratty, engine was running when system bled, i followed all the correct advice when bleeding but for some reason the matrix is gurgling and the top hose presurising. head and gasket done about 8 weeks ago

i had head pressure tested etc when gasket was done. im starting to worry again now as ive spent roughly 2500 over the last year and the f*$king thing still aint right. im in mansfield, north nottinghamshire

hi fanatic, just done that and all is well. been scouring the forum for answers on bleeding the matrix but nothin yet. all im getting from anywhere ref my dramas is that the hwad gasket is at fault but ive just had it done

ive given up on the idea of putting a sardine tin fuel cooler on. ive now got another big problem, the cooling system is over pressurising big time. in the past ive had the head gasket done, another head put on, injector O rings and copper washers, new thermostat, flushed radiator and ive...

cheers ratty, im looking at swopping mine over and using my mates 53 plate as a template to copy the hoses. hopefully this will work
