Help to fit a dump valve please!

I do know a dump valve can be fitted to a Discovery 300 Tdi.

I know know it has been done and an example video can be found on YouTube.

I know of a place that sells and fits them to a Discovery.

But do you know how pointless it is?

I had a dump valve on my Impreza WRX, hated it on that and wouldn't dream of one on a Discovery. As you put your foot down it wheezes off slowly in first, go to change in second and it makes that sneeze sound, rattles towards third and again that sneeze. Honestly, it'll sound ****, the combination of diesel rattle and posers sneeze..

But, if you must make a fool of yourself, do it in style and fit one of these dump "valves"..

The dump valve is for a diffo vehicle, and the signals or protocol will be totally diffo, si I'm afraid that its prbably not gonna work.
There might well be a way, but you'd have to chop the electronics and do a load of crap like that.

The kit is universal so it just needs to be connected to one of the three wires going into the throttle sensor. but i dont know which one.

My sons got one on his focus st and it sounds cool, so cool he got a 60 quid fine because it attracted the attention of two traffic cops on bikes who looked across and saw him move off without his seatbelt on, hehehehe.

Its meant to preserve the life of the turbo, but on a diesel landie ffs, better with the lolly pop sticks.

Well actually, I remember ONCE fitting two lolly sticks to each wheel!

The idea was to make a sound like a Lancaster bomber.

It didn't.

It made a sound like four lollipop sticks tied to a bike and rattling in the spokes.

The idea didn't last long.

Nor did the lollipop sticks.

Cardboard and a clothes peg was good too.....not so good in the rain though

I have just found out that one of the three wires will have a variable current between 0 - 5volts. and thats the one to connect to.

Betcha you played marbles aswel, and built the airfix kits, and the ultimate, the bogy made out of pram wheels with a rope to steer "somebodys washing line".

We also used to slide down the coal bings on bread boards on the ferns, and raid the dentists garden for crab apples. Got me going now so you have.

We used big bits a carboard for sledges.....the brakes on em wernt very good though

Why?
It is a waste of time, space and wont give you any benefits. :doh:

If you attached a fairy liquid bottle to it, you could blow some bubbles while wading!

Dump valve = attention seeking. :baby:
