    Gasket changed, now just waiting for one poxy fuel spill pipe banjo bolt to get to be delivered its up and running (I hope). In a male moment of OCD once I had everything bolted back together I was convinced that I had left an oily rag in one of my cylinder bores....but on reflection I am sure...

    Ever since I bought this Disco its been a touch smoky with a small amount smoke coming from the rocker cover cap, of course I had been putting off investigating, as you do.

    Now, apart from all the holes, doesn't your Discovery look good. If you stuck a lump of right angled plastic on the wing it would only spoil its looks:D However a good reason to keep the snokels is that here in sunny Sauf London the chances of losing your wing mirror to idiots trying change...

    Now I have a theory and it goes something like this: The Discovery 1 has a similar place in Land Rover's history as does the 1949 Series 1 but moved on 40ish years. Similar to the Series 1 it is a vehicle that, for it's time, was ground braking, simple to fix, versatile and therefore incredibly...

    Engine cutting out!

    Or a dodgy stop solenoid? Isn't the stop solenoid connected to the immobizer? I could be wrong about that but may be worth a check! My 300tdi auto kept cutting out...usually on the motorway at speed, what fun that was! I basically clean or replaced items on the fuel system..sedimentor, fuel...

    Replacement exhaust

    From the little I know the exhaust system on a 200tdi came with two silencers and a cat, apart from the very early ones (and ones from Japan?) However the favourite mod of most in this parish is to dump the cat and the middle silencer.I think this is what is ment by straight through, I did it...
