    V8 plug leads

    hi phil If you have a d2 then there is no 'dizzy' the leads disappear into the coil packs , one for each side and yes it is a pig of a job , especially if you have lpg fitted which can raise the inlet manifold.

    plug leads replacement

    I had to replace my coil packs and leads and because I have lpg fitted it raised the inlet manifold by 30mm and I couldn't get to the packs. Ended up having to get lpg specialist to remove lpg system and inlet manifold to replace. Stupid thing is they are 'remote' coil packs and can be placed...

    Air suspension problem

    It is an electric pump , I'm not sure which fuse it is. I still say the garage should sort all faults before delivery, the compressor is about £200 I think .. Andy

    Air suspension problem

    if he is a landy dealer I would get him to sort it before you take delivery. Its a new one on me that the ride height sensors 'learn' what position they are in. If the bags are leaking (which is common and fairly easy to remedy) it should still rise when started. you should hear the compressor...

    Help?

    what symptoms are you getting ? what made you get diagnostic check done. When mine went I first had a problem at about 2500 rpm where it wouldn't rev past this.(felt like a rev limiter / fuel starvation) the MAF sensor cured this. I then had a 'shudder' 50mph in top gear. this turned out to be...

    water leak

    I dont know what engine you have but the water pump is behind the pulley on mine 4.0V8 disco , you could have a gasket gone , I take it you have checked for obvious leaks around pipe joints etc and the coolant level?

    What's wrong with my Disco...if anything?

    I think that if you have changed all 4 tyres then it will feel different to drive and the grip will be different.

    Gas conversion

    usually if its on fire the owner is out and waving frantically that it is a gas conversion , a badge or sticker would be useful but i look for the filler as its quite obvious.(to me as I drive an lpg car) I have seen an orange cylinder strapped down , but not until the fire was out and we...

    Gas conversion

    Hi BoB no is the short answer. Each fire authority is independent and there is no 'universal' data base we can access. As long as the system is fitted properly its probably safer than petrol tanks. Much tougher construction and safety valves if pressure is exceeded ie in a fire. Once its...

    V8 reliability?

    :hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi:hysterically_laughi 2 words that dont go together that said the noise and the grin factor make it worth while but be prepared to get your hands dirty.

    Gas conversion

    not going to get into the pros and cons of lpg but I will say that I have used medway dual fuel and found them very good.

    Checking pressure air suspension

    neil not sure about airbag pressure but i'm fairly sure there are different shocks depending on if you have ace? were correct ones fitted? also if old shocks were very worn it could be the ride is now as is should be but you were used to the old shocks Andy

    Help?

    Hi I have a v8 and I suffered the same codes , my problem was twofold The mass air flow sensor (about £80 and fit it yourself) and the coil packs and leads (£200 and a pain to fit, especially if you have lpg fitted) the 191 and 194 codes could be a lambda sensor fault or just too much...

    Cruise control and mpg

    I have to agree the cruise control is quite crude on a d2 I can get 16/17mpg (lpg) without using cc and it goes down to 13mpg using cruise. coming back from devon on friday I came off cruise to let someone pass and then hit resume and pulled out to overtake. I had cruise set at 65 and my...
