Because your boring and like a clattery engines :eek: My V8 auto is going fine thanks oh and it sounds glorious with a silky smooth auto box. Same cant be said about my Td5 with a blown head gasket and notchy gearbox :(

Driver training. If a near standard Discovery dealt with what the Camel Trophy could throw at it the weakest link must be the drivers ;)

There are a few groups if you look on facebook they will take you out and about. There is plenty of lanes around us once my V8 is taxed I plan to do a few with a couple of mates I'll PM you on here if anything actually happens anytime soon.

Run 100 shot and you will need a fresh engine. The RV8 engine needs extensive mods to run higher power its not that strong out of the box. Progressive controller I'd be more inclined to start at 15/25 jets then look in to 50s. If your RV8 is healthy its should be around 180hp throwing and...

Am after the rear lift blocks if you are prepared to split? There are bound to be a few other things I could use but its late and can't think of the top of my head.

Mine did the same for months then it finally went taking what I think is a liner with it, I've still not taken the head off to inspect but am expecting serious expense. I'd get it done sooner rather than later in hindsight.

My Td5 would beat my D1 V8 to 60 even though the figures suggest otherwise. D3 should have no trouble am afraid. Gaining simple power out of the V8 isn't easy either, swapping the cam from from a Sd1 Vitesse would give a small gain not as much as a good high lift cam but even though its not...

30 years old Lincolnshire 6 years no claims V8 Discovery 1 £182 p/a Td5 Discovery 2 £188 p/a Crazy thing is the cheapest car I own Alfa 156 is £203 p/a is the most expensive to insure.

Hello Ste, go slap Davo and make him buy Steff's 90 ;)

Mine was up for £1500 never been welded and still solid. 95 (N)Jap import V8 ES on LPG with equivalent of about 85k on the clocks, had lacquer peeling on the roof but everything worked, but only one person inquired about it.

Depends how you look at it, he may have a classic Rover or even a modern one that is worth more than a ropey Disco as there is plenty of Discos dropping under 1k now.

Been a loyal fan of both for a long time. Worked my way up the food chain in quick cars to end up with the MR2 Turbo and Dimma 205, althou being given 2 Discoverys meant something had to give so the MR2 has been moved on and I get my kicks playing in mud or abusing other peoples cars on track...

Look at the tow bar electrics, give them a bit of grief when the lights are on. Its what resolved mine.

Over a 5 year period with my td5 the consumption has averaged 28 hitting 31 once on a long trip from Lincoln to Somerset, I will admit that is a massive difference over my V8 that was doing 15mpg but now has bigger tyres and lift and returns an impressive 11mpg (this is all worked out on LPG and...

I am having this very issue with my Laguna :mad:
