Thanks Kev, tried most of that already.......still no joy! Have got a friend coming over next week......hopefully he'll have better luck!!! Thanks for the help anyway!

Hi, It's a 3.9 Efi 1993 Auto. Fuel pump is suppling fuel up to the fuel rail, took the fuel line off to confirm. Also there's a strong fuel smell when cranking it over. Tried the foot to the floor method.....no effect. It will try and fire but won't fire up. It feels like the injectors...

Hi Guys Started my Rangie up Sunday, started first time, drove to the bottom of my drive....it stopped and hasn't gone since. Have a spark at the plugs, fuel to the rail....tries to fire but won't run. Tried a different ECU and replaced the fuel relay....still no joy! Any ideas???!!!

Ok, so as mine starts after 3 cranks but runs lumpy for about a minute and smokes, then clears and runs fine for the rest of the day could be a faulty glow plug? Can I test them without taking them out?

Hi Guys, What symptoms would I get if one Glow Plug has failed??

Did you leave the rubber seal fitted and just fill the gap between the glass and frame with mastic? How long has this lasted?

Having taken out completely my rear sunroof and re siliconed it back in on my 300Tdi Disco which cured that leak it has now started leaking through the glass to frame seal. Land rover do not supply a replacement seal for the tilt and slide type roofs and none of the pattern parts boys have one...

I have an oil leak which is at the base of the dipstick tube on my Classic Range Rover (approx 1977 block). Should there be an O ring under the retaining lip which the small forked retaining bracket pushes down on? Once the bracket is removed, should the tube just pull out? Any advice would be...

Hi There, Just had to re seal my rear sunroof. 1st I cofirmed where it was leaking with the aid of Gaffa tape by tapeing the glass to frame and found water was still getting in so did the frame to roof and that stopped it! Removed head lining, which wasn't as bad a job as I'd thought it...

Cheers Stig, Thanks for the info and hopefully will get my Disco suitably prepared for it's next MOT. Cheers again. Martin;)

Cheers for that. Guess I'll have to play by the rules then! Bizarre how many variations of opinion there are!!!!!!!!

I've asked 3 well respected garages now and they have all said the same thing. Ditch the cat! It'll save money, the car will go better with no detrimental effects and won't effect the MOT! I guess I'll try it!

That's interesting as "Twisted performance" and a local garage near to me say it's not a requirement for the MOT?!?!

It is about £260 for the front pipe from Paddocks. It should be a simple job, there are as I remember only 5 bolts (3 at the manifold end and 2 at the back join end) I guess the only time consuming bit might be getting the rubber mount back on.
