Mr Noisy do you still have the alternator? Turn out the one I was going to get isn't the right one. Have is got any part numbers or anything on it so I can cross check? Cheers!

Cheer s for that guys but managed to find them on another forum before i had chance to read my replies :)

Yeah the cab heater works pretty well. I'm going to take her to my local garage see if they come up with anything. Said they had a few things they could check and only charging £40

Hi guys Anybody got a viscous fan clutch (err4334 if i remember correctly) for a discovery s1 v8 3.9 going cheap? Around £20 if poss Also an alternator for said vee-hic-ool for around the same? I am in hersham surrey Many thanks!

You say that but I imagine there is somebody somewhere with such mystical 'powers'! Only problem is being self employed and having already spent a fortune on this damn thing £15 is alot of money at the minute anda garage would defo break the bank. I think I will try change viscous unit and try...

Yeah the level is pretty stable when cold, havent noticed any fluctuation and there are no leaks that have made themself known yet. (The passenger floor is mouldy but it is near to being under the passenger seat not under the dash which makes me believe this is just down to faulty door seal or a...

Is it the same or different on a v8? Because i have bled it and bled it and bled it until i have started bleeding! I am hoping that the steel seal worked, i have been unable to find a test kit to test for combustion gasses in the coolant but the oil seems fine, no milkyness or discolouration...

Could this cause overheating? I have read just about every article i can find on it, only one suggests it could cause overheating. The only bleeding process i am yet to try is using a pump to create pressure in the system and force air out

Hi guys, Got a disco 1, 3.9 v8i, non air con model Bit of a run down so you know the background- Bought the car with an overheating issue. Flushed the rad, changed the thermostat (stuck closed), everything else seemed fine so topped up the coolant slowly to avoid air traps (i know they have...

So after much fettling looks like you are right and the head gasket has gone. Been reccomended steel seal. Bought 2 bottles and will do it once my new rad plug arrives- stupid plastic one snapped!!

Hey man sorry me again- did exactly as you said and there was a bubbling sound, so i left the caps off, revved it a few times over about ten mins, lots of bubbles came out so kept going until there was minimal Bubbles then replaced rad cap. Topped up along the way, revved again, still bubbles...

Ahh no worries cheers mate! So best way to proceed- open expansion tank and rad filler, top up, run it For a bit or should i take the return hose off expansion tank and then run engine until its ran through the system?

Cheers everyone thats great. Well i checked the waterpump (just got home now on the back of a recovery truck!) I'm Guessing it is okay as there is no play and no noise coming from it. Where is the other plug then on the t stat? Cheers

Hey guys How do you know if your waterpump has gone? Ive a disco v8 1995 auto. Changed thermostat and coolant and now overheated. Could it be fan/ air in system? How would i check what the issue is? Thanks guys in advance
