    V8 disco 1 - what about?

    I agree, it does look OK on the face of it, plus I've never had a "legendary" V8 before in a car and fancy the experience (I had two in the garage, but never got around to fitting them!!). I guess as long as it is looked after properly, fluids and filters changed regularly then it should be...

    V8 disco 1 - what about?

    Had a 300tdi Disco for a few years now. My wife got interested in one as well. Been to see one locally - Chassis looks OK, boot floor, sills, inner wings all OK. Nice smooth and quiet engine with mileage at about 100K. The sunroof doesn't leak. Am I missing something? What fuel consumption...

    Power after Fuel Injector pump change?

    OK, not a problem with the Cruise. It does now run far better though, as I also got rid of the 4th EDC injector - this was causing it to run on 3 cylinders intermittently. So hopefully once the new injector is tuned it will go to "normal" or better, but run more smoothly and be less sluggish...

    Power after Fuel Injector pump change?

    Just converted the Disco from Fly by wire to cable controlled injector pump and got rid of the Electronics. Used an Ex Defender pump I think. Will it be slightly down on power as a result (it is an Auto)? I seem to remember reading somewhere that it will be, but can't remember where. Anyone...

    Not really new, but...

    I've been lurking on here for some time. Got a 300Tdi Disco and a lightweight. Just been offered a Mk1 Disco with immaculate chassis and running gear, sweet 200Tdi engine and completely knackered bodywork. In Surrey.

    Steering Box Overhaul/Replacement

    I was speaking to one of the rebuilders in the week and they said that a possibility in the case of regular malfunctions is the power steering pump sticking and then over pressurising the steering box, causing the seals to fail. Not sure how realistic a reason this is - be interesting to hear...
