Sorry didnt add image

Hi All, I have a 98 3.9ltr V8i Discovery Automatic. This morning I woke up to a couple of little problems. Number 1 is I believe the Solonoid on my LPG gas system is a magnetic switch or so I have been told that is what it is and I believe that it is sticking causing the engine to simply die...

I topped up the wind screen washer fluid, checked the oil and power steering fluid then did my daily top up of my antifreeze, I have the usual V8 problem leaking head gasket, at the moment its nothing major I just have to top up everyday. Im looking forward to the summer so I can replace he...

So its just four bolts that hold it in. Nice one, I will get that done on Saturday. Thanks very much John

Hi All, I have a 1998 Discovery 3.9ltr V8 Automatic. The near side head gasket is leaking (it has been all the time I have had the car), so I have finally decided to get the work done. I have a week off soon, I have found a place that will skim my head and supply new gaskets and new bolts...

Hi All, I have a 1998 Discovery 3.9ltr V8 Automatic which has a leaky sunroof. The old seal seems to have streched and is misshaped, so I have ordered a new one off ebay, paid about £22.00. What I want to know is how do I get the old seal off completley. Is there a way I can take the sunrood...

I was quoted £35.00 for my heads skimming from a local place, I looked on ebay for the gaskets themselves and they were about £30.00 each, I would do the work my-self to help keep any costs down. My gasketts are leaking but at the moment im just having to keep my expansion tank topped up with...

lol the daft ones usually work and it will get a laugh with the lads in the pub.

A few people have mentioned new plug leads to me, I know the ones I have on at the mo have not been changed for a few years so maybe that is the next step. Cheers

Hi All, I have a 98 3.9ltr V8i Discovery Automatic, now she has got 156,000 miles on the clock and I highly suspect the head gaskets have gone because I have to top up with antifreeze every morning. I am used to this my problem is now that its raining and when im trying to top up with...

To be fair, he has never had any serious problems with it, I know his airline burst for the air suspension when his exshaust pipe was blowing but thats about it, its just the noises from the compreser and other components he doesnt like. He has let me drive it a couple of times and the...

My dad has got a P38 I think its a 2000 plate, I think he wishes he stuck with the Discovery, he says the P38 makes too many strange noises, although he does like the air suspension, how do you get on with yours. John

I got them from a local place to where I work the Distributor Cap was £13.50 and the Leads were £25.00 for the set. Have I had my pants pulled down lol

no probs, just ordered them should be here tommorow. Thanks again John

I have a question on changing the leads, I know they have to go in order for the firing sequence from the dizzy cap to the plugs, but does it matter which way round the leads go or is it the same element on each end of the lead. Thanks John

I will get them sorted over the weekend, thanks for the help everyone. John

Hi All, I have a 98 Disco 3.9ltr V8i Automatic, I come to start her up on Sunday to go and do some shopping and it wouldn't start, so I went through the fault finder in my Haynes manual and on the rave cd and in the end a good squirt of wd40 around the dizzy cap and coil solved the problem...

One more thing to add to the above post, when I pull over, turn off the engine and re start the engine, I switch it streight over to gas and it runs fine. Its strange. Cheers John

Hi All, I have a 98 Discovery 3.9ltr v8i with a lpg conversion. I have a problem when switching over to gas. I wait until the engine is warm as always (otherwise she backfires and stalls) then I hit the switch so I can change from petrol to lpg, I run the revs over 2000 then drop them gently...
