Sat waiting for 40 mins for fuel. only to put £2.00 in. Found I had drilled a hole through filler pipe. :mad: :mad::mad:

Check your cyclone breather aswell. they always tend to leak some. If you don't know it's the plastic thing sticking out of the rocker in the center. good luck with it.

by the looks of it you have deposits above the head gasket on the head its self. check your injectors leakoff pipes and rocker cover bolts. Best way is to use an engine de greaser wash it off wait till dry then run it and you will easy find where and what is leaking.

my front prop has the slide at the box end. you can't be a spline out as it will only go in one way. I know this from bitter experience. It must slide easy tho. Steering whilst engine off has upto 70mm play hold a rule to the side of your steering wheel and measure the play anything upto 70mm...

Check leak off pipes on injectors. Then take them off and get some one to turn engine over. If fuel squirts out very rapid then the injector its coming from is goosed. crude but easy way to check them. All pressure should be going to the injector on start up. A little leak off and I mean a...

That's a good MOT test. Mine failed on 26 Different things. Took one at a time soon got through. Start with easiest. New fuel filter. only a few quid. maybe back lights will only be bad earth. ABS Sensor. don't know what that entails but sounds easy if you source a new one. CV gator. Bit more...

compression good heater plugs new. think one of the injectors might be leaking off a bit to much. Not that bothered really. no issue. replacing the van this year. But thanks for the info.

Well didn't know that about easy start. been using it on my old escort van for well over 18 months now. only in the mornings. But I keep using it every day till it gives up the ghost, (Which it won't) Just keeps going and going and going. Agreed only a snuff of it. Not had to use it on the disco...

Is she working? if not try easy start. if she fires up you have a fueling problem. If cam belt snapped did you check valves see if any were bent. Anyway hope you got her working.

Sound a simple fix. My mate had this only happened on inside lane. It was down to the ruts in the motorway from lorries Waring it out. Having said that we put on a new ball joint on the a frame. still same problem with the worn out carriage way. but it seemed to stop the swaying whilst in them...

check this one out. needs attention but it says up north. bin price 250 but if not bid high enough make him an offer item number : 320870806237 good luck.

lol if she does break it must have needed fixing. So I don't mind really Wouldn't have bought it if I couldn't play with it. Anyway it can only break so much before it become a new vehicle lol. Onward and upward.

Well sorted air leak in fuel. ( sender unit and sedimenter) sorted fuel leak on lift pump. Replaced with new. changed all filters. oil change. Now before this was done She wouldn't start properly, just turning over then a rough start. Now I go out in the morning and she starts on the first...

Same happened when I bought my disco 1. Bought New pump. easy replaced. When took the other one off the shaft fell out. couldn't see what would have held it in. So just chucked it. Should have stripped it to see how it worked and put together. Then I could be more help to Myself and others. lol

Lift pump on my Disco was leaking out of small hole on the side. Took it off to change it and there was fuel passing through into the engine. Didn't notice a rise in oil But that. could be due to the fact I had an oil leak anyway through the breather again. So sorted all that and now she runs...

Got one but I had jate rings so just used them. Part connects to steering box. Just measure length you will need go buy some, easy jobby

On the smaller issue of the hand break button mine did the same. Ended up getting a pair of pliers and pulling the knob off. Comes off easy enough. just left with the rod and got to push it with my finger. It hurts but until I can finish rest of the jobs. It's low on priority list. Sorry Can't...

Well at last Car is sorted. ended up being both the sedimenter and the sender unit. Cut the plastic away from the metal pipes on the sender unit and conected rubber hose straight from engine bypassing the sedimenter. Must have had a slight leak for ages as I have never felt it perform as it is...

replace it. only a few quid.

wont be lift pump if once running its ok. prob leak somewhere draining fuel when left.
