Hmmm! think I might just leave it gathering dust in the garage then. I ain't gonna be working on it for at least 6 months after surgery, which I can't have for another 2 weeks due to having to self isolate (covid rules). Just so frustrating when I've come so far :mad::(:(:(

Asking opinions really as I'm at a crossroads wondering if there's any point carrying on.... I've been working on my Discovery 1 v8 for a while now totally refurbing it, jobs done so far... 1. New top end engine-wise inc. Cam, sprockets & chain, lifters core plugs cylinder head gaskets. 2. All...

Could possibly a height ride sensor???

Never done this myself, but I've heard some folks heat them GENTLY with a heat gun which brings back their colour???

Firstly I'd check all the earthing straps just to make sure they have a good contact with the body and haven't broke or are rusted up.

I think the adjuster is actually not in the centre consul, its on the underside, where the cable goes through, unlike the Discovery 1.

Have a look at this, around 8 mins onwards, however if ya rebuilding the whole vid is a good reference.

That's ridiculous, there's still loads of websites advertising unlocking codes for the Hawkeye?!?!? So what happens when you purchase one and then ring support for the code??? :eek::eek::eek:

You'll need to have it plugged in to a diagnostics machine for the fault code to be read ;)

Ohhh!!! That might come my way in Cheshire, I'll look out for that one on ANPR! ;)

We live & learn. :)

Thanks :)

Ah right, ok so any rated fuel line will do, what diameter would I be looking at? would normal hose clips do to connect them up???

Hello I'm asking for advise again (hand brake sorted now thanks to Jamesmartin) My fuel lines (metal parts are very, very crusty) What would be the best way of replacing them? New ones are obsolete so it looks like its make / adapt your own, Would rubber fuel pipe all through from tank to...

:rolleyes: Oooops, does it need to be disconnected from the other end?

Thanks jamesmartin, but the shoe isn't on yet, I've tried it with shoe on, shoe off...... its the spring on the cable its soooooo tight, I can pull it back about 1cm but that's it. It won't pull back enough for it to clear the small gap that where the end of the cable (ball) fits in the lever????

Am I doing something wrong???? Changing the brake shoes on the Disco and I unhooked the cable from the shoe end that connects to the offside shoe. Can I get the bugger back on?!?!?!? Tried all sorts, but the spring that you have to pull back in order to get the cable into the end of the brake...

So frustrating for me, totally rebuilt the top of the engine & the only thing stopping it running is a little tiny sensor similar to a bloody radio knob!:mad::mad::mad:

IF, if you can find a new one. As said before they are obsolete & like rocking horse poo to find second hand and if you do they are ££££ I have a similar product on order and will have to modify it to fit. I've already tried one from a P38 which was a cheapy, but either it was a duff one or the...
