I know, but I think ive got to try.........

Ive just got a phone call from my 71 year old Mum who says her 97 P38D "hasnt got any power". She said "I was driving home from Diedres, (or whatever her mate's called) about 20 miles away and the temperature guage shot up into the red" im praying she stopped driving at the point but, oh no...

Ill stirp it down again and have a look in the morning. Unless something has dislodged itself when I put to top on, it all looked present and correct before reassembly.....

Hello All, Yesterday my 300tdi had a fuel leak from the injector pump throttle shaft so after a bit of research and as the replacement parts happened to be on my doorstep, I thought to myself. "I can tackle that!" Ive reassembled it and now I cant get it to run right. Ive managed to get it to...

Just bench tested both starters and they are both knackered. The one that was fitted engages but doesnt spin...hence the click.... the one that came with the replacement engine doesnt do anything. New one is on its way. Well done lads.....

This is a straight like for like swap. Its a manual too so there's no inhibitor switch getting in the way. I haven't bench tested the starter motor but it came off the old engine which I was using daily so I know its good. The starter clicking is a new thing. It wasnt doing that at first, not...

Hi, Ive just put a 300tdi engine in my 95 Discovery but I cant get it to turn over. The black, brown and white connectors that go through the bulkhead into the cab are all plugged in. The fuses are all intact. The battery is charged and I can hear the starter motor click on the turn of the...

Big gold stars for both of you! The car is now back in business...... Ive never had to the EKA in the seven or so years ive had this car....everyday is a school day as they say.... Cheers fellas and Happy Easter!

I should add, im using key two but ive just dug key one out and found the little metal terminal on the circuit board is missing, so i cant use that............. What can I do?

Ive just got into my 97 p38 diesel this morning but i have the engine disabled message on the dash and also i cant resync the key. When i left the car last night i noticed the remote locking wasnt working but that might be because i had the battery disconnected recently and never got around to...

Well, it all seems like a good idea in principle but scratch the surface and it becomes more effort than its worth. As my diesel one it currently running so well, although it looks atrocious, I think I would be better off spending my time and money tarting that one up than taking on such a...

Check the small hose that connects to the nipple on the underside of the air intake manifold and goes up to a little black box of tricks on top of the passenger side wheel arch. If that is blocked, split or is not connected the car will become very lethargic..........

Hmmm...................... I think ive talked myself out of this GMC idea already......... I was hoping that using an engine so simple as an NA V8 would just require power to the stop solenoid and starter motor, an adapter plate and away it would go with a few less electronics to worry about...

I have an option on a very tidy low mileage 2001 4.6 Vogue in the what I consider to be the right colour combination but the Thor engine is boiling over in it. I took a spark plug out of it and sure enough it looks like its been steam cleaned so i guess the liner has gone in it. As the car is...

Maybe it was just that mine were bright yellow,, they just looked silly to me. I had a Disco Safari some time ago that was standard suspension but just sat beautifully. I guess it just hadn't been worked too hard before I got it.

"Nah love, side steps won't go through the Mot!" :rolleyes: On a serious note, whats the recommendation for new springs and shocks? Id like it to look purposeful without looking naf. I used to have a 200tdi with a Britpart 2" lift kit and that looked naf to me. This 300 has got more iron work...

There seem to be many schools or thought surrounding lift kits but one reason I wanted to fit one was the mother in laws dodgy hip. She can just about get in with standard suspension. A lift kit should make it impossible for her ........

The diameters are equal. I had actually fitted the rear springs to the axle before I noticed the shocks would have to be upside down. The springs seemed to sit quite happily in there. Maybe it is a dumb idea and flogging this lot to buy the correct ones is the right way to sort this. I am...

I have a set of OME Springs which were sold to me some years ago through an acquaintance of a friend of a friend as a set for a Discovery One. I have just found they are for a 80 or 100 series Landcruiser....... Groan...... They have Devon 4x4 part numbers being: D44R Rear Springs D44F Front...

THAT IS SHAMEFUL! I really should have been able to answer that myself. Indeed a wiggle of the earths and the starter connection and off it went. Thanks fellas!
