*sigh* was hoping to have been able to make this one but yet again the disco is a non runner

The starter on my disco has given up, solenoid not engaging at all. Iv ordered a new one, the workshop manual talks about disconnecting front prop shaft. Is this really needed or can it be swapped out without disconnecting the prop? Its a 3.9 v8. Cheers

cant tomorrow, and my diff lock isnt working so id get stuck 30 seconds in

lol ok yes its a poor effort but theres only so much i can achieve with road tyres

Well i finally got some time to get some pictures of my disco, not sure that anyone is interested but here they are regardless: 1996 3.9 ES nearly 180k miles, filthy, just like it should be.

mine does this on my v8, the solenoid is probably tired and needs replacing

changed 1 rocker cover gasket.. the other will have to wait

whoops. shoulda done a search first: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f38/freeing-up-your-discovery-1-difflock-linkage-59819.html :doh::doh:

id have all my tools but most have been packed away for a garage rebuild. Well working in the snow today i got one side finished.. what a pain! the other can wait till i have a free weekend. Found my 3/8" torque wrench only goes down to 10lb/ft so just nipped the bolts up, it'll do!

Was checking my disco over today ready for the weekend as I may be greenlaning, so for the first time in I don’t know how long I went through the high neutral low box, bit stiff but changed ok. Then I tried to change to diff lock, now its probably not been used for 10 years but I couldn’t...

i'll have to double check my 3/8" wrench as it may actually go lower than i thought. this job is turning into a pain, having to disconnect/remove more than i originally thought and iv only half my tools at the mo

It could be persuaded to burn im sure, the half tank of lpg would make a fair hole though. Anyway, its not all bad new battery and rocker gaskets here, the work continues, it'll be at least half decent when im done.

yeah i hope theres another one soon so i can actually go along

Does it idle ok once its running? Does it start with the throttle open at all?

8nm is mad, dont have a torque wrench that goes that low!

didnt think that would apply on a private sale

great pics, looks like i missed a cracking day out. Hope to make the next one, but looking at the pictures i guess i'll be taking the easy way round a fair bit.

because i loved my old range rover and thought this could be a cheaper alternative.. that and it was a V8 on LPG

fair enough, there was a stack of history so i thought nothing of it, will check but it'd be a bit late if there is an issue :o

bought plenty of cars and not checked the chassis/engine numbers, unless something seems odd i dont bother
