just smoked the dual Kenlowe HD 13 inch control module/relays in major heat; much annoyed.

I had the same problem with a 'fleabay' aftermarket unit for my 97 (NAS) Disco - it unceremoniously packed it in after two months and I got no reply on the alleged 'warranty' inquiry - so I went for a 'preowned' unit from a wreckers and it has worked wonderfully for a couple of years now. In my...

very nice!

hopefully just an ageing tappet/cam combo - replacement can be held off with change in oil grade.

You need to talk to John Eales (JE Developments - UK) as he can at least give you the heads up on what to look out for and he makes a decent cam upgrade that will not propel you into needing new valve gear. He may also have ideas on how to get rid of your start up vibes or at least what may be...

It could be a a vacuum leak from elsewhere as well - have you tried the 'Carb-cleaner' routine where you run engine and spray cleaner at likely leak spot and listen for an increase in rpms? This will help you with obvious leaks at the throttle-body (but keep a fire extinguisher on hand - just in...

If you want something better than a Flowmaster (i.e., with a better 'snarl' than even Borla) go to Magnaflow (I happen to have a slightly used one with pipe running from the Y back to the tail [I wish I had never taken it off as I think it is superior to the Borla system that I replaced it...

I think you are to something here 8NV - I have read about this sort of thing happening from preload not being adjusted and now I am thinking that's what happened.

check out www.MM-4X4.com as they sell LR seal by the foot. wolf

The best I have heard is the Borla system (cat back) you can even get them to give you some idea of sound via their audio files on their web site. Give them a look and listen (top quality by the way)

Hi Eightinavee (or anyone out there with any ideas on this); Ok - so do you remember my interesting starting issue (i.e., turn the key until pre-ignition lights come on dash array - wait a two seconds then crank = starts right away [otherwise no start if you just stick the key in crank and try...

Found him - thanks. Wolf

Hi eightinavee; Its been a while but I wanted to chceck in with you and see how you are doing Wolf

that's the man - my mistake!

Have you joined this forum yet 8naV - are you still out there? wolf

All I would add to this is have you checked out RPI (UK) and what they can do with a Rover V8 of any displacement? If you want to really mod your engine - V8 is the way to go and unless you want a 'schwimmerwagen' why worry about wading much over the axels anway? Then again - working with a GEMS...

Hi Desert; I just read your previous e-mail as well - hmmm??? How bad are these oil leaks? Are you losing enough that it shows up on the dip-stick in say a week's time (i.e., is it ****ing out or merely dribbling out)? What grade of oil are you running out there too? If you were over here in...

Here's the politician's answer: yes & no! If you run the tyres very hard - it means there's less rubber in contact with the road (and the rubber not in contact with the road as heavily will not wear as much), thus less friction = better mpg; however, the part of the tire that's in contact with...

FYI and for future reference - if tires and steering check out A-OK - never forget to check front propellar shaft (drive shaft) - certain Disco years were hard on drive shafts. Shaft shake is nearly always traced through RPM (i.e., at 60mph - 2000rpm approx. - (V8) - and you start to get shimmy...

Hello Spyder, Yeah - I have seen the t-shirts with "The Prince of Darkness" on them! The good news about the switch replacement job is that it's an easy one. The book tells you to pull the steering wheel but that's not necessary; all you have to do is to undo the plastic cowl around the...
