quick, I read the tire posts easy on the jets gang! new disco series 1 owner and i have kelly 255/70/r16's which don't appear on the guide! from the guide some rear fender mods needed for 245/75/r16's which would be 1cm or 0.4 inches greater diameter than the kelly's so, are 255/70's just the...

northstar you the man!

Previous changes to speedo to KMH from MPH look to have been done by yanking the instrument bezel off above the steering wheel shattering the clips in the rear and rounding the screws off, as well as shattering plastic around one of the screws. Anyone know where I can source a Disco 1998...

had the cluster off and can't see any smoking guns. so i have sourced the old mph cluster to check an other tacho and see if it is simply the tacho coil which is my best hunch for now. related to post on fuel consumption next will be to actually check idle, need to figure out how to use a...

thanks guys that helps a lot. from the latest details, much appreciated, I am on the bottom end at around 25l / 100km. Will experiment with this further. Sorted tyre pressures though aim to do the chalk test but they were soft on the run that caused this. Urban is killer and I do go trail...

result! it ain't the alt...12.6 volts key out and marginally over 14 idle. can't see it being belts as it's not erratic when running so slip or slack for the mo i am ruling out and the belts seem ok, not sure of tensioner etc but that's a post check just for having it right. strange is the...

yeah i think i am splitting hairs, think points check and dist clean up and it should be closer to the mark...i also can't think anymore in furlongs, litres, gallons, mpg, kml's brain break! I would like to know of advice for tyre pressure with Kelly's 16 safari hpr's for road and trail if...

ricc, looks like you were on the money. I believe it is the alt that sends the ac signal to the tacho. I guess check the alt works correctly first, should be a matter of running the engine and checking batter terminal volts pick up post ignition. It does seem to work linear with acceleration...

thanks ricc, time to learn how to navigate RAVE!

tank is 19.6 uk gallons so we are in old money owners manual defines 415 miles on constant 75mph, that would be around 21mpg it seems i am somewhere more like 24mpg which doesn't seem to far out as who can stay at constant 75mph. have an airport run in a few weeks and it is around 500 click...

of course, these are owners manual figures so may be a bit off and 13 years has passed since new but it still seems very high consumption. tyres. I have kelly's and unlike the standards i believe are good for 50psi as per mould markings, could someone out there with 16" radials + kelly's define...

made me laugh too! this makes me cry though.... at constant 90kmh a full tank is good for 847 km at constant 120kmh a full tanks is good for 664 km at urban a full tank is no good for 454 km i am losing at least 150 km on highway driving! where is the best place to start? plug gaps? idle...

1998 disco v8 not highly critical unless i get cruise control working and then i can cut out at 5000 rpm which would be more like 3500

1 cubic foot of gasoline is 16.98 litres a cubic yard is 3x3x3 cubic feet or 458 litres 8 furlong in a mile, so 33636 furlong is 4204.5 miles or 6727.2 clicks my car would get around 2500 clicks on 458 litres, so i am miles off of headtesters mark!

i like that! you should be reported to brussels / strasbourg for even mentioning furlongs and feet!

My tacho reads around 900 rpm with key out and ignition switch at off. When i turn to battery on pre ignition point it jumps to around 1400 rpm. When engine idles it reads around 2100 rpm. Are these tachos adjustable in anyway? Is it pulses or voltage driven? Was possibly interfered with...

Newbie here, had a disco 98 V8 for about 3 weeks now. Can anyone advise what sort of mileage I should be praying to have? Currently, and as I am in Spain it is km and euro though gas is cheapest in Europe, I am getting around 400km from 100 euros on the highway - about 75 ish litres...

Hi all! Just got a Land Rover Discovery series I, V8. Never had so much fun with a car ever! Was meant to be a good car for the wife and kid, she is so scared to drive it 'cos I luv it so much. Have lots of questions that I will be starting to fire at you folks out there if you can lend...
