Hi everyone, Thought I would update you all.Threw caution to the wind about a week ago a took Leroy for a couple of nervous miles....came back in one piece.Took it to my good 'mechanic' friend and left him with him for a day.Collected today and was told to just keep driving to blow out the...

Hi,forgive me but I can't put my hands on the manual at the mo but if memory serves me right it was 1050 Ohms.It could show as 1.05k if the meter was set to that spectrum,I guess.Mine has about 4 settings.Anyway my reading off the throttle sensor came out somewhere near 5.94 ???.So whatever the...

Time for an update.So I fitted the throttle sensor,put the battery back and hey presto....nothing.Same as before.So I dutifully put the battery back on charge and tried to think outside the box.I felt as though I'd exhausted the electrical side (probably hadn't) so I thought I'd look down the...

It's good advice,thank you.One of the problems I've had is coming into the problem after everyone else has had their paws on it.I had to assume that the previous owner(4x4 garage,wouldn't spend any more time on it as it was a p/x) had done the stuff they said (leads,plugs,petrol,air...

Thanks for those links...I have a nice collection building up under 'Leroys' bookmark page.The aim,apart from actually getting to drive him,is to learn right from the start.So much.....:eek:

FOUND ONE:rofl:Yay...Should be here in a coulpe of days.£33+p&p on E-bay.Finally,I've been seeing potentiometers in my sleep....Let you know what happens when I put it on.

Well I've removed the TPS and checked the ohm value on the connectors whilst it was out of the vehicle and they don't come anywhere near the spec in the manual but it could just be me not reading the meter properly,they were nowhere near 1050 that it stated.So the thought is get another one to...

Will I have to perform a sacrifice?....PM,the penny has just dropped.Thank you.

Not sure if this pic helps with identifying the engine (I've already bought and sent back a crank sensor that doesn't exist on this one)Always learning,well trying.

Thanks for the reply,the forecourt had used 'Easy start' at some point in the past with some success,however,once I went back to collect it was a no-go even with the 'easy start'.I shall search/check regards the tps.Thanks

Good evening everyone, I said hi a couple of weeks ago as a 'newbie',just to let you know I'm in for the long haul.Quick synopsis.Bought Discovery 3.9 V8 EFI 'es' about a month ago.Bought it with 'Intermittent' starting fault from a 4X4 garage (They's taken it in part exchange).Took it for a...

Well it started well enough for me to take it for a quick spin,decide I liked it and hand over the cash...the it decided to be intermittent.Not moaning though,it did exactly what it said on the tin.My motivation will be to hear that beautiful sound once again...

Hi everyone. Well I'm new here and new to the Landrover Discovery.My baptism is full on as I have just bought a 1995 Discovery V8i ES.Listed as having an intermittent starting fault (as well as 6 months mot and a very nice inside and out). Well the fault is now more constant than intermittent...
