Hopefully i won't need another one for a while, i'll add you to my contacts just in case. Been driving her for a few days now and smoke is all but gone. Thanks again Graham

hey bruv . salvaged turbo has been sourced, fitted and Disco is now prepped for dust off !

Have sourced a salvaged turbine and fitted it today ( 150 notes ) been for a quick run round the block and all seems fine, with the exeption of some smoke from the exhaust. I'm asuming this is from oil that's found it's way past the turbo and into the intercooler. I'll go for a blast down the...

Done all that, sadly turbo appears to have expired as there's about 5mm of play side to side and the vanes are fouling the housing . I see you're in maldon, know anywhere localish who can exchange / recon it or anyone i can trust to sent it away to ? I've seen a few on ebay but you never know...

grey . I'm pretty good with a spanner, restoring a series 2 at the moment.

quite light. smelled a bit oily.

Help, this Disco is the first turbo i've had so i know very little about them. En route to my brothers yesterday,couple of miles out i lost power on acceleration :mad:, I coaxed it in the last couple of miles and left it for the day. Fired it up for the return journey,engine sounded sweet :) but...

Just sold my 3.9 Disco but on a sensible run (55/60 mph) i regularly got slightly over 200 miles to a fill ( twin 37s under slung ) If you have single point gas injection, rather than multi point , you can tweak it yourself. On the vaporiser there should be a brass screw with a lock nut on it...

nice one . cheers

The disco still pulls fine and the clutch dosen't slip. I'm guessing it's clutch related but i'm no expert. the noise is also there in low range Any...

My apolagies for jumping straight in with a question last night. I've been on the forum for a while but until now had nothing go wrong with my Disco so i just sat around reading everyone elses threads ( it's amazing what you can learn without asking a question ). Once the 3 amigos have left my...

hopefully, it's driving me nuts. my MOT has just run out and i'm without a vehicle, unless i breath life back into the old series 2

I appreciate this is a common one but if i replace a (suspected )faulty wheel sensor will these damn lights go out automaticly or do i need to get them cleared ? I'm new to this forum malarky so i hope i've done this right cheers G :confused:
