Its not a 28mm spanner, its just that bit too small. so im tipping it to be a 29mm spanner. Im going to take my 28mm and just file it out till it fits rather than spend money on another spanner. Cheers John

This is exactly what happens, on Sunday morning I lost about a quater of a tank of gas because the seal didnt seat properly, I did a bit of a daft thing but I poked it with a style from my pda and it sealed, it could have just as easily squirted gas out and blinded me. I have ordered a new...

Hi Discool, I measured the head of the bolt with a vernier and it measured at 28mm so I have ordered a spanner, I will let you know how I get on. Cheers John

Hi All, I did an oil change not so long ago, but I had to use an adjustable spanner to get the sump plug bolt out which I hate because it strips the bolt too easy. Its a 98 Disco V8i Automatic, does anyone know the proper size of the bolt so I can buy a propper size spanner to suit. Thanks...

Looks like its a warn filler as the problem seems to be on and off, I will order a new one and change it. Cheers John

Hi All, I have a 98 Disco 3.9ltr v8i with a 1st generation gas system. The first brass filler I had on the car was faulty so I got a new one and changed it, its been fine up until recently after filling up with gas the attachment from the gas station gets stuck onto my filler and it takes...

Thanks for the answers gents. My Dad has adopted a love hate relationship with his P38, at the moment he loves it more than he hates it but every so often he comes out with "im going to fix whats wrong with then its going on ebay". I smile to myself and think Ive heard it all before lol...

Hi All, My boss is talking about getting a Range Rover Sport. My Dad has got a Range Rover Vogue P38, my question is does the Sport have as much trouble as the P38 or have Land Rover sorted out some of the problems. Thanks very much John.

Thanks for the advise lads, I have just found a local place who said that they can mix me some paint that will match for £25.00 for 1/2 a litre, I will have a go at doing it my-self and if it goes tits up I will have to let a pro do it, but I have done bits before like the wheel arches and they...

Hi All, I have a 98 V8i Automatic Discovery and the paintwork on the bonnett has started to look a bit of a mess. The problem is that the laquer is peeling all over the front of the bonnett and the lettering that spells LAND ROVER has started to come off and it just doesnt look right at...

My Disco has done that since the day I picked it up 6 months ago, im glad someone has finally figured out the problem, The LPG system does have its own ECU thats why it runs so much better on gas, but also the timing is setup a little bit different for the LPG system so whatever you change its...

I have the same problem, everyone can hear the grrrrr outside but I dont get the appreciation inside, when I visit my parents my dad watches me leave just so he can hear the engine go for it, I was asking around and I have been told a stainless steel exhaust would make the grrr even more grrrr...

Thanks very much for the replies everyone, I know the previous owner often changed the oil, oil filter as he did long journeys everyday and when I bought the disco it had 152,000 miles on the clock, I don't do that many long journeys, it does about 12 miles per day to work and back and maybe 50...

Hi All, I have a 98 Discovery 3.9ltr v8i Auto, and its up for its MOT fairly soon, I don't normally worry about stuff like this but I know how tight the government is being with cars like the Discovery and im worried about the emisions being high and it failing its MOT. So what can I do to...

Final Update, Hi All, we have fixed the problem, the heat from the blowing exhaust did melt through the airline for the suspension, we fixed it by getting a couple of connecters from a local company that supplies pneumatic equipment and after removing the middle section of the old exhaust...

Cheers mate, I think rather than spending money I will go the old fashion way with things and check manualy. Thanks again John

Hi All, I have a 98 Disco 3.9ltr v8i auto. Before I baught my Disco I had a 1ltr Corsa and one of the most useful tools I ever baught was a obd2 code reader of ebay, however my Disco wont see the code reader or the code reader wont see the Disco when its plugged in, even though I have a...

Is the drain located near the front end of the car. My Haynes manual does not say anything about it. Thanks John

I replaced the rad a couple of months ago, the petrol gauge is steady and the brake fluid has not moved down below its level mark, so i can say with fair confidence that they are ok and as i said before i had the head gasket checked also a couple of months ago and it come up ok. I am also...
