Hi chaps, its not mine, but I thought I'd make us guys on the forum aware, just if there's any chance of getting it back for the owner

There's also this company, but they seem quite dear https://boltonbits.co.uk/landrover/discovery/discovery-1.html

The bay of E sell the full kit including the surround if you look hard enough, I toyed with the idea a while ago. If I can find a link I'll post it. They also do rears too

After the last 18 months I've had, what with my back needing major spinal surgery to cure 3 rupture discs & having nuts & bolts replace them, then nearly turning up roses through bloody Covid, then suffering the after effects of it by getting a blood clot in my lungs and again nearly karking it...

I wouldn't give what its currently at.....

There are a few things that govern the running speed.... Throttle position sensors, temperature sensors, idle controls etc Could be the reason its running fast. The tapping as Discool said could be minor like the manifold bolt being loose / injector problem, which are quite minor to Camshaft...

If as you've said, 'I'm not technically minded' I'd agree with your head & walk away. As Marjon says its a long way and you're already in a bit of doubt about it. There are better ones out there, you just have to look really hard & consider your budget for buying & maintenance as even the...

Sounds like its running rather fast to me, even if thats a cold start? and yes its very noisy.

Could you post up the video of it, might help....?

How many miles has it done, what year is it, has it had any work done on the engine / any history with it??? The tappety noise could be a sticky Hydraulic cam follower tappet, or a worn camshaft, which can be a common occurance on a higher mileage V8 (i did mine at 75k). Or even possibly a...

Its in the £600 tax bracket too! :eek:

Thank you! Its not looking good to be fair, but ya never know....

Stolen overnight 7/8 - 8/8 Green Land Rover 110 TD5 in Green. Reg T99 SHG. The roof rack is distinctively that the rear panel has “Defender” etched into it. It was taken from the docks in Liverpool. Posting for a friend.

There is quite a good write-up on this site, on how to do it. I'm thinking of doing something like this myself soon as the fuel filter is so rusty trying to rmove it will undoubtably result in the pipes breaking. http://www.rustylandrovers.com/2017/03/19/discovery-3-9-efi-fuel-line-replacement/

I went for my 1st jab 2 months after my Pulmanory Embolism & no one even asked about my past recent health. I mentioned that I'd had Covid related PE in Jan & they stabbed me anyway with the AZ jab. Had no ill effects so went for my 2nd one at the beginning of the month & no effects from that...

It is possible to do it your self, I have done it with my D1. You will need to strip the barrel down to its componant parts i.e. the wafers. I had a few spare barrels so I nicked the wafers from those too so that I could get a proper match to the key, You just need a little patience to select...
