Just did a compression test, the bank that was ****ing out fuel showed 11.5 - 12 bar...the other bank that seems not to be spraying ANY fuel out the spark plug holes is ranging from 4-7 bar ( really fooked to just fooked )!! Tried two ecu's, one modified and one standard, still the same. I...

It might be if the ring are that fooked that petrol is getting past them straight away. The oil that came out was super thin and petroly. i can't be arsed to rebuild it in the winter. Just seen some low mileage complete serp front ended x-bolted tvr 4.0 lumps on ebay

Its not the mark adams chimp, it was the ecu itself, something controlling the left bank of injectors had failed and caused the problem! Noisy it's all four of the buggers!!, after changing my oil fluching out and re filling i still have ****e (6psi) oil pressure on a coldish engine and nasty...

They make a sort of satisfying light mechanical sound, it's like a damped down tap sound. I notice it more in mine since i took the under bonnet soundproofing off

A picture of the video...squirts like a lady i once knew!

Calm down now ladies, it's a mark adams chimp and it seems to make it smoother through the revs and a bit happier to rev and i'd even say the fuel consumption is better! just been looking at the Disco and it's only flooding the left hand bank as you look at the engine...and when i say flooding i...

Got the rhoads lifters in mine, they make a bit of noise but nothing major. I'd even go as far as saying there was a noticeable difference in low down pick up with them

Evil, it's been running cold since the ecu chip and 20am maf have been fitted. A rover V8 that wont even sits at a quarter on the temp gauge!! What do you mean exactly when you say auto choke? Noisy i was aware of the bank firing, i'll check for pulsing while cranking and the resistance at...

All fine on thursday then start up on sunday a struggle and a nasty misfire..odd I agree it's unlikely to be the chip but why would a sensor all of a sudden just faill too? The engine was runing really cold, straight after stopping the inlet plenum (although not expected to be super hot) was...

only got the steve heath basic fault code reader on it that just gives numbers you can reference. The way it was barely running makes it seem like the injectors are constantly open. Its not starting now so i'll un plug the injectors and put led's on the plugs see if they pulse when i crank it over

It's running a 20am maf with the tornado chip. I'll plug in the old ecu and run it without the maf, it might run abit rough but alot better than it is now

All seem good and even if it was a faulty ignition compnent i'd still be worried that it decided to squirt 20 litres of petrol through in 12 miles!

My managemant does work properly, the mark adams fuel chip is set up to actually make it work, also the fault code reader says nothing but if i un plug the fuel temp sensor it shows the right fault code. Would a faulty sensor cause it to over fuel this badly anyway? Seems like the injectors...

I'll do it tomorrow but i'm thinking they may well looked pretty black!

Probably!!

Nice use of the word Honk!, Yeah it's pretty smelly!

Ha, no fuel leaks but over a quarter of a tank in 12 miles is pretty special! Seems like it's overfuelling so much its washing down past the rings and getting into the oil. It would only do about 30mph flat out and was running really rough, it stalled at one point and only just re started...

As title, my 3.9 v8 Disco has just used over a quarter of a tank on a short drive. Vehicle has steve heath fault code reader fitted and a mark adams tornado chip which means the engine management light actually works. But i got no fault code on the reader and no engine light on. The...

A video of a discovery V8 drowning?
