Now Sold I am selling my Discovery as I need something Diesel. **Please note - I no longer own the wheels in the photographs, it is now fitted with white 16" steel wheels and 205r16 tyres. There are only 4 wheels, no spare.** 1994 3.9V8 Discovery. Silver Approximately...

It will look really good until you get it dirty. Then it will annoy you!

My Disco is perfect for you in every way. Except it is a V8, has cloth seats, is in Yorkshire and is 200tdi spec. Not much rot though!

Hi Paul, Yes, I still have it. Mark

It passed in August like that. It is bolted, not riveted if that makes a difference?

I have one with a fine crack on the inlet pipe. It's this one, if the link works. AIR BOX - 3.9 V8 - LAND ROVER DISCOVERY - 1997 - AMAZON 4X4 BREAKERS | eBay

I think you are right Mr N! I think, as much as I love the V8, I am going to have to get a, whisper it.... diesel. I hardly go anywhere and the fuel bill is annoying me!

You're not wrong :D

Piccy time, Here is what I see after 5 minutes idling and around 15 mins of driving: (I really need to clean the interior!)

Is this temperature sender for the gauge: Discovery 1 Thermostat & Temperature Sender at www.rimmerbros.co.uk I'd completely forgotten about feeling rad hoses. I'll try that as soon as I get chance.

I have a different gauge to that. I'll take a pic after a bit of driving later. It is graduated like the fuel gauge but rotated 90 degress. It's the fuel consumption that seem a bit low, even for this. Am I right in thinking the ECU ignores the lambda sensors until the engine is at 70...

How long should it take for a Disco 3.9 V8 to get up to operating temperature? And where would this be on the gauge? I can drive for 20 minutes and it won't be at the 1/4 mark on the temp gauge. It only really gets near the middle on a motorway run. I'm wondering if my stat is...

Do you guys see any noticeable difference when using CO2 compared to normal gas? I use Hobbyweld 5 gas, but it is expensive, and the bottles seem to leak. I have a few 5kg CO2 fire extinguishers in the garage, as I use it in my aquarium.

Interesting, I didn't know there were variations within the 3.9. I thought the 200/300 was just a trim level.

Bugger! I think I'll either elongate the existing mounting holes for the coil, or drill some new ones an inch or so back. That way I don't have to bugger about with wires. Thank you all for the info. EDIT - or weld in some good metal to the arch then put it where I want. I should...

Hmm, have I bought the wrong airbox then? The one I bought looks like this: It won't sit flat, and the bonnet is being pushed up at that side.

No its definitely a 3.9. Hopefully there's enough wire to shift it back to where it belongs. Unless, it used to be a 3.5?

I found a pic of how mine is:

What's happened to all the pictures?! Anyhoo, after buying this truck, I finally got round to servicing it today. Spurred on by ridiculous fuel economy. I changed the oil, plugs, leads, distributor cap, rotor arm, cleaned the hot wire, and ditched the nasty cone filter for a proper airbox...
