Hi all, Just noticed today that when I stop the rangey, the servo hisses from where the master cylinder mounts, I presume this is not normal and means a leak in the servo diaphragm, as as far as I'm aware there isn't a gasket between the master cylinder and the servo? Anyhow before I strip it...

This is a full LPG kit I removed in 2010 from a running twin carb rangey with the intention of fitting it to mine, however I think it would be a shame to spoil my rangey as it is a very original 1971 and I don't drive it every day so don't really need it. Anyway It includes an Emmegas Vaporiser...

Just another quick question, Has anyone rebuilt their early V8 oil pump using one of the kits to give more capacity like the later engines? Mine is still the early small capacity pump and seems in good condition, is it worthwhile upgrading? Cheers,

Hi all, Little problem with my 1971 3.5, I decided to replace water pump, as I was doing the rest of the cooling system, snapped one of the bolts and had to remove timing cover, found that the chain was slack (only 41k on engine!). My question is, is it best to replace the just the chain, as...

Time to sell the Freelander, I bought it for my mum about 2 years ago from its original owner with suspected IRD/VCU Issues at 90K, I replaced the VCU with a genuine GKN New unit, and a recon IRD, receipts are included with sale, these have only covered 7K in the 2 years we have had it. My...

My 3.9 has a slightly irritating issue that makes it splutter when hot and running on gas, its fine when engine temperature cold-warm but when you've done a 3 hour run then hit some traffic its a bit spluttery when your pulling away almost as if the mixture is to lean, however I think its more...

Have got a 2001 TD4 Auto, 96K on the clock, its developed a bad flatspot at about 2500rpm and is generally lacking in power to be honest, engine has had recent full service inc. fuel filter, turbo filter, air filter etc. EGR is Blanked, Vacuum hoses to the turbo actuator have been replaced as...

Hi all, Just fiddled with the timing on my 3.9 (don't ask me why, it was running nicely!) I set it with a light to 5deg BTDC as suggested in Haynes for a 3.9 high comp with cats, It then seemed a little down on power on both petrol and gas, I now have it set at about 8deg BTDC, seems back to...

Hi all, Just got the excellent rovergauge software working with my 3.9 disco, Just a few points of note. I have the correct base idle (set using tacho in rovergauge). But when the engine is idling warm I only see Stepper motor values of 3% to keep it at its target of 700ish, is this normal or...

My 99 3.9 Disco 1 always loses a little coolant from the header tank, it seems to want to settle about 1/2" below where the + is for correct coolant level, the header tank is a replacement clear one, is this something to be worried about (i'm paranoid about liner/block failure). It never seems...

Just a quick question, I have just replaced an engine on a 2004 freelander TD4, I fitted the complete engine with all wiring etc. from a 2002 Model. Anyhow have just about finished the change, wasn't to bad at all, now I notice that there is an extra sensor in the intercooler hose (2004 model)...

Hi all, Just in the middle of fitting new cats + lambdas to my v8, bit of a pig of a job really, as expected all of the downpipe studs snapped, as expected! So I have the manifolds off, have drilled out and re-chased the threads on the manifold, that was a good couple hours of fun! I'm nearly...

Hi all Just a quick one (hopefully). My mates diff has just packed up on his disco, I have an assortment of diffs all of which are 10 spline FTC1709 from early range rovers, Will these fit a 10 spline disco axle? Cheers, Olly
