I was following the workshop manual, and it said "note the location of each injector". So I wrote number 1-4 on a piece of card and started to put them on in order. I took out all 4 but then i got confused as to whether 1 was the bumper end or 1 was the bulkhead end :|... I "think" I have them...

Salvage retention rates vary with different insurance companies but as you're the third party they may work on a "rule of thumb" type thing, so it may be negotiable. Generally the lower the category the higher the percentage to retain. It's not common to give you a cash-in-lieu if the vehicle is...

total disaster of a day attempting this :(. I started at 9am, finished at 5 with no breaks and I've still not removed a single head bolt. It appears I do need an exhaust manifold gasket too!! I've snapped a couple of bolts, thankfully I think I can get them out however the cylinder head bolts...

I opened my bonnet, looked around the engine bay, closed it, and walked the 5miles to work... :(

thanks for the quick responses and link! it's sort of putting my mind at rest, at least until next time I open the bonnet when I get home from work later lol. I am in Liverpool, I'm sure where ever you are you'll hear my cries when I drop a socket into the block or somethin. I'll do some...

yea looks like it's head gasket, can feel air from somewhere when I put my hand down the back, can't pinpoint exactly where it is but it seems to be head gasket. Gutted, well out of my depths, only had the thing about 2 months and maxed my credit card out buying it lol... oops. Does anyone know...

really enjoying reading this thread and seeing the progress. I have enough trouble changing the oil lol. Keep up the good work!

nah it's happening on tick over :( still can't find the fooker :doh:, gonna have a proper look this week. Performance seems fine, just irritating.

cheers guys, I'll check out the above. I am thinking head gasket but the water/oil all seem fine. At the least it's put my mind at rest so I can continue to use it whilst I investigate/save money.

Hmm I seem to have developed a ticking noise last Friday. It may be air escaping from somewhere but I can't for the life of me find it. It's possibly at the back of the engine where I can't get too. It's quite loud/annoying when I'm pottering through town. I've searched on here and as a process...

lol very original Steve :rolleyes: Cheers Brian, what should I expect to pay for a tracking set up ? What's a reasonable price ?

thanks for the replies! I'll get stuck into it asap. Appreciate the offer of help too blackhadder but I live in Liverpool :(

OK So I've had the worst luck in the world with cars. I'm pretty poor, young family loads of debt etc etc so I've generally bought "end of life" vehicles that I run into the ground for a year and scrap. I decided to take a risk on a "mint, rarely seen in this condition" Discovery 1 on ebay .. as...

An old thread I know but in case people with no mechanical skills like me are searching I just want to second this point about the hand brake lever. I am a complete novice. I bought my Land Rover with this problem (broken bias plate/spring), I wasn't aware how smooth the gear changes could be...

Nice one, good luck! :)

Yep, Huyton :). Work in Kirkby.

cheers, mechanically good and no leaks at all! (touch wood) :)

Just outside Liverpool

Hi All, I've only owned my 98 Discovery for 5 weeks now. I have no idea why I bought it, discovery's had never really appealed to me, but certainly couldn't afford a defender... it just sort of happened on ebay when I was looking for my first 4x4. I traveled a couple of hundred miles to pick...
