I never got as far as replacing the leaking fuel hose on my D2. A guy knocked on the door asking if it was for sale, so i put it through an mot, it passed, so i sold the car and gave him the new pipes to put on himself.

Or some garden hose. That's what the Disco 2 boys suggest slipping over the fuel lines that go from the fuel tank to the filter and engine bay that sit on top of the fuel tank and wear themselves through.

Modern cars are great and all that, but you can't beat a good old fashioned pressure guage!

RESULT!!! Changed the sensor....Happy days, ALL GOOD! Thank F**K for that! I knew it couldn't be low oil pressure, engine was pulling like a train, NO smoke, no oil leaks, nadda! £32.73 including the sensor, a 24mm 1/2in Impact hi torq Deep...

Good luck with your treatment. My mate is just getting over bowel cancer.

The M57 does have a dipstick, 2 in this case :rolleyes:

So, it does have a dipstick?

Daft to add oil without checking the level :rolleyes: It's likely to be the sensor or connections.

Only a dipstick wouldn't pull the dipstick (if fitted) in the first instance. :vb-groan2:

Last time i saw an engine bay like that was after changing my oil and filter at work on YFO and when i got home, about ten miles later noticed some wiffs of smoke from under the bonnet. i opened it and found the bay covered in oil because i'd...

I was just watching a video on Youtube of a guy changing the oil and filter in his early 3.5 V8 Range Rover. The filter on his engine was lower down and screws upwards, you know, like on most normal well thought out engines... Has anyone looked...

To be fair my problem was Redditch Sainsburys, Worcester Sainsburys didn't bat an eyelid when i filled up both cans. She was an annoyingly ill informed jobsworth! It was no real problem as i was in Redditch seeing mates and i work about a mile...

Have you found getting them filled can be a problem? I tried to fill two with diesel before covid and ended up having a argument with a woman from Sainsburys who kept trying to inform me of the law in that you can only use a container made for...

Massively over fuelled probably due to a ****e remap by someone who has no idea how to remap a car properly. You can almost guarantee it was a simple laptop at side of the road remap and not put on a dyno to actually check its performance and...

Then just go for it! You probably won't regret it :cool:

Here are some specs: https://www.neal.scot/101/101data.htm I reckon if you are worried about the mpg you probably shouldn't buy a 101. Mine still isn't on the road yet but when it is i'm going to be in total denial regarding the fuel economy...

Did they come with cruise control then? My old '96 Disco 300TDi had it but it never worked. Apparantly it worked somehow, off the vacuum system. Someone pointed out the pipe that ran along the bulkhead that looked more like raw edge protection...

Extra choke cable. ;) Of course add it to the throttle side

I had a hand throttle on one of my 4 x 4's. It used a ratchet mechanism that released the throttle as soon as the accelerator pedal was pressed. Apart from slowing down on motorway inclines, it worked very well.

There are "aftermarket" cruise systems out there, but you would need one that uses a cable on the throttle, not one that connects to an electronic throttle.

That reminds me of a chap i used to work with at the bull centre. We had an old 1977 SWB S3 diesel which we had to use for towing the horse box to occasionally go and fetch or return a bull. It had the old hand ratchet throttle. It didn't give...

Does anyone know if the early Range Rover came with cruise control? I've recently purchased a 1977 101 with it's original V8 still in it and was wondering if the early Range Rovers had cruise control, if i could install it onto my 101?

+1, I think the 101 is just right..

Get away with ya madness. He wants a propa motor! :cool:

Split the difference...101

Welcome to the club! Nice looking Landy! Is it erm, part Landy/weather station?

PERFICK!

A bit before my time... I'm more Andy Pandy Hector's House Stingray Thunderbirds Mr Ben Camberwick Green Trumpton Chigley

WORLD FRENCH DAY????????????????????????????? Now then, how do i turn this emoji around to face the other way? ✌️
