    Discovery 2 V8 Measure Battery Voltage using Nanocom

    No, its surprising isn’t it, the drain from the D1 battery causing that amount of voltage lost, but its better than my brothers jag as he found out when he arrived back to the uk and collected his car at the airport car park after just two weeks. V8 same battery.

    Discovery 2 V8 Measure Battery Voltage using Nanocom

    Two batteries with dual charging is a common modification discussed in the forums for Land Rovers with batteries positioned in the the engine bay I believe. And as its something thats not applicable to me, I turned over to another page 😊

    RR classic 3.9EFI bogs when gas is applied

    When once my 3.9 had a intermittent time with it it’s idling I put Redex Petrol System Cleaner into the tank and the issue never returned, maybe using supermarket petrol (which I still use) caused the issue so a fuel cleaner is still used once a year. With my 3.5 a clogged crankcase breather...

    RR classic 3.9EFI bogs when gas is applied

    So, from your attached video we see that the engine at idle of around 1750rpm, then there’s a few blips of the throttle and then after the revs drop slightly below the idle speed, then will increase back to 1750rpm… yes? Also unfortunately i’m confused with your statement “when I apply the gas...

    Help needed looking to by my first landrover

    Of course I expect you have added to your list signs of ‘water ingress’ to your list 😊. Sunroofs, front footwells and the rear door are your starters, and have been mentioned in the disco 1 & 2 forum posts over the years.

    We i’m surprised on Paddocks making an error, I expect they have access to a parts catalogue online in one format or the other just like Rimmer's do, the main dealer parts dept always has way done with their Microfiche slides. Anyway the valve has three pipe connections , so from the master...

    Rubbish but perhaps he thinks you have D1 with air suspension or supplied the wrong item 🤔 Did they ask the model year of your vehicle and if it had ABS or not. If you have a 200 series D1 and which is RHD then the pt number for a pressure control release valve is NTC 6868L although I expect...

    The fuelling for the engine is controlled by an ECU, so cause & effect, find out why its running rich it could be as simple as an iffy temperature sensor.

    The H prefix takes u to the first EFI 3.5 engined disco from Aug 1990 to July 1991. The 3.5 is not the most powerful of disco 1 V8s… but you shouldn’t find an issue going up motorway hills other than pushing down the throttle a bit further maybe, for other hills u may have to drop a gear ratio...

    Its coloured green if its original and positioned on the end of the bottom row of three, also a green petrol pump relay is in the RH footwell. I don’t think the number of doors the vehicle has will make any difference. 🤔
