Thanks for the replies, my baby daughter has arrived into the world & so I've given up tying to find the time & got someone else to do it. The pipes are "rusted to bits" but Landrover have made them all obsolete. Anyone know where I can get a full set of flow & return pipes, plus sender unit?

I'm not been able to have a really good look yet, as it looks like I will have to drop the fuel tank to see whats up, but my 3.9 v8 disco 200 has just started throwing fuel all over the floor... Its comming from somewhere between the fuel pickup at the top of the tank & the fuel filter under...

getting them out is easy, getting them back in... that can take a few attempts :)

keep looking is my advice... my L reg 3.9 V8 disco was £1100 a couple of months back (the LPG conversion was already fitted) It has very very little rust, its almost perfect inside, It just has a couple of very small dents in the body & the window rubbers have perished (but dont leak). to...

cool thanks mate, I've just found out how overdrawn I am at the bank so I cant see me doing anything any time soon now. but soon I hope :D

So in your humble opinion (I'm not going to take you to court lol) will a 3.9 efi disco 200 be ok, or would you have worries about doing it (IE if it was your pride & joy, would you do it)

I could call you lucky or unlucky with the final outcome... you pick :D

Sounds like the demise of a head gasket to me... the pressure in the cylinders went straight through the cooling system & the weakest thing went... the top of the rad in your case.

I'm with Teflon, I have a 3.9 V8 disco that has been on gas for about 10 years, (I've owned it for a few months) it’s done 140,000miles & purrs like it was made yesterday. I know the previous owner, so know he hasn’t rebuilt it. It also doesn’t have an oiler kit fitted to it...

Ive had a look on some other land rover forums (yes they do exist, really they do :D ) There is talk on them about damage to the valves (I assume in the engine) if you reduce the back pressure in the exhaust by removing the mid section. Now I know that 2 strokes require back pressure &...

Ok, if its going to wind the misses up it may be a step too far,she's driving it more than me at the moment. Is there an option for a happy medium, if it was as loud as a TVR for example I would be happy, its just silent at the moment. I may as well have a doosel, I just want a bit of V8...

I know I’m being picky but the front connection is a flange connection & I don’t really want to cut the flange off in case I ever want to reverse the upgrade. But I guess I may have to unless there is an off the shelf solution. Or I could make a new flange up & weld it to the new...

I want to remove the middle silencer on my L reg 3.9 Disco (200). Anyone know if a simple replacement pipe is available & if so where from, I’ve had a look about & totally failed to find such an animal,. This is despite the fact that according to a mate who has the “discovery customisation book”...

sounds like it could be the timing chain to me

give the pipe a very good clean first though (... any dirt on it & the joint will leak!
