Landy Passed its MOT Whoooo

So Yesterday the landy |Finally passed its MOT.Quite worried about taking it as you know what discos are like
Failed On

Number Plate Bulb
No Anti Role Bar (Taken Of for off roading)
And 2 front wheel Bearings (Just Adjusted)

All in all rather happy so treated her to a wash and polish not bad for a old girl

Quick Pic

I have noticed that its taking a very long time to start in a morning when been left over night aprox 6 secs i counted. i also let the plugs warm up twice to. Once Drivin and runing i can turn it off and and kicks stright away ... like 2 secs then kicks up ? any ideas

Could be one of several or a combo - (it's a Disco remember)

You could check the timing is correct - takes 10 mins

But it does sound like you have air in the fuel line - you could put a bit of clear pipe in the fuel line from lift pump to filter and between filter and fuel pump - you will be able to see bubbles then and narrow it down to where the air is getting in...

Don't forget to check the injector leak off banjo washers and leak-off pipes too ...

check all pipe joins ...

Happy hunting - I'm sure some more informative soul will be along soon

Congratulations!

It looks the bollocks.

Cheers mate!!!!
I was just getting used to the idea of keeping the 110 and then you post a picture like that.
I miss miss my Disco.

Well done on the MOT

It might sound a bit daft but my starter played up over winter clicking etcbut since warmed up its been sort of ok.. so i think it could be that being a bit lazy when not used (cold) etc or possible lift pump might need changeing? i checked the injectors etc there is no fuel leaking etc or bubbles.

This is not a my daily drive as i got a Audi S3... mine below

Nice S3 ...

Try checking your earths, if you've had clicky starter issues - could be the solenoid needs a clean up

How's the battery?

Prefer the Disco though. Looks well smart......I must resist doing that to mine......

Cheers

I had a new battery 2 months ago so its not that ... yea thats a good point will check that ... but does sound lazy just been out to try it . might get a new starter

As already said by Dippy, check your injector leak off pipes.
I had the same symptoms and turned out to be a pinhole in the pipe. Quick repair and it was starting on the button again.

it failed for not having anti roll bars???

This could be a problem... i seem to have accidently on purposely weighed mine in :doh:

Yea mate I removed my rear one and it failed ... I did the same took it off and scraped it lol had to get a 2nd hand one for a £10
