how easy was the mechanical injection conversion? out of interest

I had a set of Ring 4x4 spotlights years ago on and old S2a they were really bright and looked a lot like a cibie, were about £50 the pair but that was about 10 years ago and havent seen a set in long time but worth finding a set.

Hi everybody on a part find does anybody have a spair No 4 inhector for a discovery 300TDi Auto with EDC part No ERR 3337 (the ome with the wire) new, recon or used? the sensor in mine is US and this part of it dosent appear to be repairible (unless anybody knows otherwise). Have checked every...

slept sitting in the passanger seat (old recaro not comfy but proberbly great for the spine!), Had and old riding coat so would wear that and place the opening at the bottom over the old smog stirrer when engine was on so that it would heat the sair up inside the jacket. was not great but...

Lived in an old 64 swb s11a for a few months when i was 18, problem was the few months included december, january and febuary in north scotland, would wake up every couple of hours freezing and have to start the engine to try and get the cab above freezing then switch off fall asleep and repeat...

Hi guys, have upgraded the front nrakes on my 300tdi auto with 110 calipers and vented disks, thing is now I have a set of the old 4 pot solid calipers and was wondering will they bolt on the back axle to replace the 2 pots. I know i would proberbly need a brake bias valve to get the front rear...

Hi all, yesterday my wife informed me that the Check engine light had came on on my 300tdi auto with EDC, The light has stayed on since regardless of what the car is doing. switching it off and re-starting does not make it go out. Acording to her the car still is still running and driving OK...

110 brakes sounds like a plan mate, cheers. As for removing disks from hubs my trick to do it with air tools or without is to re-attach the hubs to the wheel once i've removed them then you can put your weight on the wheel to hold it and the hub in place as you remove the disc bolts with the...

exactly, my missis used to have a renault clio for a while it had only done 11,000 miles and I was replacing a subframe due to rust, then there was the back brakes and handbrake that would only work for about 2 months between rebuilds, compared to that the disco's a dream. here's a thing how...

Agree with you on that one, was looking at replacing mine but to get anything newish that will do the same will be about 20k up, so decided to hang on to it, I mean, for 20k I can rebuild the old girl twice.

could do but going to replace the calipers anyways so may as well upgrade if I can, vented calipers are cheaper than solid ones anyway.

I know it sounds like overkill but I tow a lot and also I like to drive it a bit quick. It's a personal thing always like my cars to stop on a sixpence, I fitted grooved and drilled brakes and fast road pads when i got it but i've always felt they could be better, as do get a bit of heat fade...

So you've just had the wheel bearings done and now the brakes are iffy. So whats been touched, they would have disturbed the calipers to do the brearings so check there, My first suggestion would be that they had the calipers off and have'nt blead them properly so try bleeding them. whilst doing...

If this helps I have a 300tdi with factory roof rails and cross bars, my cross bars have the pins and the rails have the holes, my dads got an early TD5 with factory rails so i will check his next time i'm over.

Hi guys need some help, planning to rebuild/replace my braking system and was thinking of converting to vented brake discs, is it as simple as replacing the calipers, brake discs and pads with the vented type and bob your uncle, or is it more involved, my disco is one of the last series 1 300...
