It may be running but is it making any air. If the piston seal is worn you will get very little pressure.

Madness, obviously they don't actually want to sell them.

Yep, sounds the same @Arctic2, ordered one, thanks. Maybe the speed to the ferry wasn't to good on the motorway last time. Could it be, that one of the other tensioners could have caused deterioration and would need change as well?

Yes, you can for test just the ride heights might be a bit different but if you connect it and the compressor will not run like with the original you know that's it. If nothing changes you should swap the fusebox... what ever you swap disconnect...

Hi everyone, Yesterday i did a small check on my Disco's Td5 and I went to check the oil contamination on the wiring loom, as I replaced the injector harness with an "improved" version lately. long story short: It is impossible to plug the loom...

Hi and welcome! Lots of good help and advice on here. There’s good write up in the members projects section of a disco 2 V8 project too which might give you some inspiration.

I'd be checking around the air tank to make sure the air supply to it hasn't been popped off? A good clean up needed then and a thorough examination of air lines and airbags. 👌

Today I will be mostly resting. Been working hard for a few weeks, now exhausted. And it will be too hot for the next few days to do much. Cold beers at the ready in the fridge for this afternoon.

Not true. I has a baff regularly ----- at the start of every season. Me oinker takes the second baff, we is environmentally aware, don't waste water. (But he complains that he gets out muckier than when he went in).

Will do. More tomorrow since I dont think I will have the time of day to fix it today. well isnt that true! Biggest ive had in a while xD No problems for the updates, I spent ages looking for similar knock questionaires and all found that theyre...

It's a puzzle for sure. Interesting! Thank you so much for letting us know as you go along

Oops thought it was oil pump, but try with oil pump skew gear and dizzy out first, On the rollers you can get flat spots but not as Loud as your knock more a tap But knock is twice as fast as a single valve operating unless it’s banging top and...

lift pump is out! i havent checked it with the drill with it in. That might be worth a shot to rule out that wasnt in the wrong way to begin with. I think head removal is imminent, i need to redo all the gaskets anyways at this point. Im glad I...

That’s a well thought out test, and you found the knock with dizzy in and lift pump , so keep going and remove ancillaries one at a time , ( lift pump lever on wrong side of cam poss) until sound stops, as you’re in so deep now not far from head...

Sorry i shouldve mentioned, i took out the fuel pump! So that leaves us with: Oil pump Skew gear Dizzy Rollers Followers Push rods. ill check on the rollers. i have the engine pulled so i can easily see now. Specific signs i should look for...

So, update on the tuning front, preliminary of course: Mocal oil cooler, Mocal thermostat, Goodridge braided hoses -> only need to be delivered and installed (the old one is leaking) Tubular manifolds -> the original ones aren't tight anymore...

there is a little bit of side to side play in the conrod on the crank. but nothing in the Z direction (up and down). theyre just solid in there and i cant get them to tick or wiggle.

The previous owner had ripped this car round a field before I had it , had to remove tons of mud . When I opened the eas box its covered in mud stain, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Can you do a straight swap for the SLABS ECU, plug and play as long as it's from a disco with air bags?

have a look i technical archive for Wammers post on checking compressor. It could be duff

On a different forum someone explained the outcome, because they knew someone who did something like this, and they said it was fine, just less acceleration.

And yet I am not increasing the fuel economy with differentials, which I have explained so many times now I have lost count. It is like you didn't read anything that I said. Which once again proves my point about this place...

Morning All. :D Scorcher here already. :) Have a great day. :D
