After doing some poking around on the net, I discovered that you can buy unleaded fuel hose on ebay for a few quid and use that to replace the metal hose. Looks like i'm gunna be busy this Wednesday, I have a half day off roading experience my wife got me for Christmas and in the afternoon...

Hi All, I have a 1998 3.9ltr V8i Disco 1, I have a small fuel leak from the pipe off the fuel filer, please see the image attached. I have had a feel along the pipe and its only a section of it thats is damaged, is it possible to cut out the damaged section of the pipe and replace it as...

Cheers, will order some new ones tommorow. John

I have done some research and as far as I can tell the difference is esr 1223 - this sender has a plastic top - Tdi models from KA065557 onwards prc 7129 - this sender has a metal top and is for earlier models - 200Tdi models upto KA065556 Have a look at your chassis number and compare...

Hi All, I have a 98 3.9ltr V8i Automatic Disco, I think I have some bad Lambda Sensors, my question is New ones from Island 4x4 are about £90.00 for 2, is there a chance I can clean up and test the old ones to see they are actually faulty. Sadly my 98 is not OBD2 complient so I cant hook...

My friend has got a Qashqui and when it snowed he couldnt get it going he basically said it was a toy and no where near a 4x4. I have asked the same question about my Disco, should I get something smaller but lets be honest, there isnt anything you can't get into the back of the Disco, no...

Hi All, I have a 1998 3.9ltr V8i Automatic Discovery, I have an OBD2 code reader but my Disco is the model that come out before OBD2 connections were in every vehichle and it wont connect to it. I think I think have a Lambda sensor failure, without the computer I cant find out which one it...

Hi, You may have tried this already, 1. Locate the screader valve on the fuel rail it looks like the kind of valve you find on the tires. 2. Remove the valve cover, get a rag and press down on the valve with a flat headed screw driver. BE AWARE of fuel spraying out of the valve under...

Hi All, Dont worry I still love my Discovery, wouldnt trade it for the world, but a couple of weeks ago when running on petrol she was missfiring, loosing power and making a popping noise between 1000 and 2000 revs, but when running on lpg she ran fine with no problems at all.. After we...

Looks like problem may be solved, tonight I ran home with the MAF sensor unplugged and it ran like a dream on both petrol and lpg. One last question to finish this off. Can I run the Disco with the MAF sensor unplugged until the new one arrives. Thanks John

I did my-self a favour and got a mobile cb, when im using it it goes on top of the console with a speaker mic that clips to the sun visor, when I have done it goes back into the house, at least then no one can pinch it.

He He I think Sheila likes that idea, I miss my baby though, looking forward to seeing it again tommorow and getting that good old man smell, oil, petrol, sweat n beer. :)

Hi Tids, I would get a can of intake and carburetter cleaner or brake cleaner, I wouldnt use thinners. John

Hi Don1, Sounds like a plan, how do we disconnect the gas though? do we use the valve on the gas tanks? John :)

Evening All, I have a 1998 3.9ltr V8i Discovery Automatic gas converted. When running on petrol the engine backfires between 1000 and 2000 revs, after 2000 revs the engine doesnt backfire as bad and doesnt feel as rough. When I pull up at a junction or roundabout the engine stalls or I loose...
