Other what have u done on ur disco today

Fitted new front and rear crossover valves for the D3 air suspension, the rear one is not a job I want to do again

Nothing....it all works perfectly

New wiper blades all round, been washed meticulously looks mega

Even picked up a washing machine in it ha, immense load space!

Added spacer blocks under the rear air springs and re calibrated the ride height with nanocom - rides much better now its level again!

Sat looking out over the garden, waiting for the storm to hit fully. Then go out in the Disco puddle hopping....

Be aware that even Discos are not immune to storm damage.

Our winds are now keeping steady at 74 mph but are due to moderate to 56 this evening.

Or falling trees or bits of ...

Llanrwst seems to be getting it bad.

Not so bad in Staffs. Some gusts but not 70 mph winds.... I'll stick the straps, chain and chainsaw in the back...

Not today as I’m working but over the last week I’ve done the “option b” bypass on my shuttle valve which led to me having to bleed the entire break system...

Disabled the EGR.

and drained/refilled the auto ‘box oil.

on the list next is engine oil/filters change (once the spanner’s arrive) and dealing with the leaking power steering pump then off for a TD5 Inside remap on Sunday!

Interested to hear how you get on with the remap, considering it for my td5. How many miles has yours done, it’s a bit newer than mine..

I think my truck has already been mapped (Prior to my ownership) but I’m not sure, it goes like off a shovel as it is but they are supposed to be the best and have happy customers all over Europe and they are doing a mapping session not that far from me so thought why not go for it.

mileage is just approaching 170k but I’m not going for all out power, it’ll be biased towards economy but able to boot it when needed/wanted.

Minehas a bit less on the clock (95k) but could do with a bit more grunt and some economy would be nice!

Good luck with it

Thanks @02Disco2, I’ll update my build thread after it is done.

Painted me calipers!



After

Drove to work

28.9 mpg according to the computer, not bad for an auto

came home in the Toyota, took dog out in the disco, Heated seat, boy it felt good!!

Greased the UJ's..
checked for slop in the props, none found!!

Narrowed down the rough running to a crank sensor that is cutting out when hot..

so a new one will be ordered.
