Definitely go back to the single factory set up , use the wiring diagram and go through a process of elimination. See if any of the wires are melting or extremely hot to touch

out pottering around today and visited a friend, was in for a cuppa and a blether about 2 hours in total, came out to landy turned key and nothing, completley dead, stuck jump pack on her and she fired up straight away, drove home about 5 miles...

Oh and I’ve found the ideal spray booth ! Forget building it in the garage! I’ve just been granted planning permission for an extension on the back of the house replacing my conservatory which we seldom used for a 8x6mt kitchen / family room, so...

Thankfully in the UK and most of Europe, there are charging facilities almost everywhere now. We have a 300 miles range EV, so only need to use public charging when doing road trips, when finding somewhere to charge isn't a problem, if more...

The best bit is I only noticed your location AFTER leaving the last post and it occurred you might find EV's a little more challenging. 🤣

In Kenya, you need the twin 90L diesel tanks of the Landcruiser to give you 1000 plus kms of range… to be on the safe side! 😆

I admire what you are doing Ali, but lordy these EVs are a bit of a pain! Proper range anxiety.

Nodge and I have been musing about the idea of a Freelander EV. We agree it would make a great base for an EV conversion project due it's relatively light weight, the way the boot cubby could be extended to the fuel tank position and it's height...

count the threads left out from the locknut on the wastegate rod, if there are less than 12 adjust it to 12 and see then with F2 removed but if it's a noticeabe difference with fuse removed than with it in place replace the wastegate modulator...

Sounds like a plan 👍

Radius arms are wider on the disco, measure between the brackets on both axles.

I hope it's OK re re-open this tread, because I have a similar question regarding axle identification and rather than start a new thread, I thought it better to post on here. I own a 1998 Defender 90 300Tdi station wagon. It has disc brakes...

Of course, Landrover temp gauges in the dash are hopeless at actually measuring temps! 😆

Aye - several ‘projects’ over the Years, at least latest one doesn’t feature a total loss lubrication system🤣

Warm welcome Slo

Well, after a few Years in the wilderness I’ve returned to LandRover ownership - this time it’s a 2010 Discovery 4 HSE, like I don’t have enough grief in my life! It has some, errrm, issues to address - AC is fubar, brakes are interesting, the...

I had Magnecor ‘blue’ on the V8 when I bought it. It also came with 5 sets of plugs, two brand new so I think a number of plugs chops had been done! Although no misfires at the time, a couple of plugs ends felt loose to me. I then had a drama...

I always fit NGK plugs and I've never had an issue. I'd recommend not to buy Champion plugs as their quality is terrible in my experience.

Im very happy to say that she is running!!!! after all the money and time its turned out to be the black plug on the ecu hadnt been clipped in properly and on the last time i parked it up it mustve just wiggled out. when i went to test the cables...

Not the best pic, but will update profile when she is running and able to be moved for better angles.

Hi there all. It has been a while and have finally started taking things apart. The weather , time and family have been stopping me. But sun is finally out and I have some time. I took the tappet covers off and removed the plugs. Turned it by...

+1, no MAP.... only 4 sensors: MAF, FT, ECT, TPS

Here we go again :rolleyes:. Look if you couldnt sort the "small" problem on your D1 then how are you going to approach a D3 with all its tech? Buy a Jimmy and have done with it. J

Thanks Phil. The old one seemed fine, it was more the 8 contacts mounted into the cap that seemed scored and ‘secondhand’. I’ll keep an eye on it!

A new cap and rotor from SimonBBS sorted this issue, so all good there. The Disco is running nicely, but I think I’ll flush the rad (ie take it out) and refill with 50% coolant / distilled water. I’ll also take the under guard off to get at the...

The Milwaukee grease gun has a little button you push to bleed the air out nice and easy to use, it is especially useful as some of the trailers I have to grease up use three whole cartridges of grease.

I'm almost certain that here is no MAP sensor on this system. The ECU uses a full range throttle potentiometer to determine a load signal. You will need to check for flash codes. The 14CUX ECU was a primitave unit so if you have an engine light...

Hello, I received purchased a 1994 Discovery 1 with the 3.9 engine. I have quickly fallen for this vehicle and enjoy driving it. Recently my check engine light has come on. I checked the MAF sensor and now suspect the map sensor might be the...

Looking again this morning, is all of that mess only on one side of the engine? If it is, I would be putting money on a split manifold here, that is a LOT of oil and soot there so I don't think it's a recent failure, I expect it's been like it...

I have a Bambulabs X1c and it is excellent. The AMS allows it to print up to 4 colour models. Baby Groots anyone? The milwaukee box was printed too.
