^^^^ That's the one^^^^

I think reading the blurb it has been recommissioned as such, i.e. the £1400 service inc. new exhaust & tyres so seems ok on that score. Belonged to an old boy who passed away. Just thinking about oil seals in the engine / gearbox and the like.

There's a v8 Disco 2 for sale near me, 59k on a 03 plate. It looks very tempting and seems very, very tidy from the pics, usual droopy headliner. Got a full service history and recently had £1400 spent on servicing / exhaust. Been stood for 5 years though. up for £4000. Very tempted to go have...

Thanks James!!!

I really want to do the job properly, so its gonna be a heads off & new core plugs in :rolleyes: Now thinking ahead, will I really need to have the heads skimmed before they are re-installed??? Initially I was not gonna remove the heads as when I did a compression test a while ago the reads...

You wish you hadn't started........???? Under the Disco today lining up the transfer box for installation, I've had quite a few oil leaks near the back of the engine so I thought I'd clean them off and make it nice & clean for later on when I put everything back together. Just shone the torch...

Cheers Chris..... Its all in the great plan :rolleyes: :rolleyes::rolleyes: Once its all back together & the g/box & t/box are back in and running ok, the engine is next for a refurb - well the top of it. Then all I've left to do is brakes and a little welding (I hope) before MOT time.

Erm....I measured the old oil that was removed from the sump = 6.6litres came out! I was asking if that was normal.

No, when it was running it engaged fine. I was a bit worried though looking at the colour of the fluid its not been on the road for about 5 years before I bought it so I was surprised it being so brown. Hopefully at weekend everythings going to be put back - Transfer box, new manifolds &...

Whilst I've been rebuilding the transfer box I thought I might as well do a Auto box drain & replace the filter whilst the exhaust & cross member were off. Now I've just drained the sump of oil and removed said sump to clean it off and repaint the outside face as its rusty as...... :rolleyes: I...

I put it in the wanted section but, Anyone in the North West preferably Manchester -ish got a spare near-side V8 exhaust manifold part no. HRC2469 that they're not likely to need??? took mine off today and there's a 3 inch crack in it. :(:(:(

Hello, just removed the nearside manifold of my v8 Discovery and it has a huge crack right down the centre. anyone got one they're willing to sell??? Needs to be part No. HRC2469 as that's what's stamped on mine. I'm in the Oldham area and looking to pay hopefully not more than £50.

:eek: Then it could be ok as it is then? I just don't remember it being as 'notchy' as that when I removed it. Ah well, live & learn. Must admit it frightened me a little, I've read the print off the manual keep thinking I did something wrong. I'll put the cover on then now & .......gulp! summon...

No one any ideas :(:(:(

Shoot me now :(:(:( think I've done sommat wrong somewhere??? Just before sealing it up & putting it back in I thought 'I'll give it just that one more once over' Everything seemed fine, was very smooth going from low to high, diff lock on, diff lock off..... Then I just happened to turn the...

Hooorah!!! finally got it rebuilt and ready to install, but before I do I'm gonna drop the ATF & filter out of the main gearbox, then reattach the transfer box. The question I have is is there any issues in doing a dummy run by just installing the xfer box filling it and then after putting the...

If its a hole in the radiator, which looking at that photo I can't be certain whether there is a hole in it or not, you'll need a new radiator.

^^^^^ What he said!

Well managed to strip it down completely and the dog teeth on the high gear are absolutely knackered. There's bits chewed off quite a few of them and one of them is nearly non-existent. So it seems new high gear time to me, the low gear has hardly any play and the teeth on it show no wear at all.
