You could try Arun Autogas in Littlehampton. I wouldn't go so far as to recommend them but they did my brother's 3.9 Disco 100k miles ago and it still works fine!

As others say, Paddocks for most parts, Rimmers as a last resort (expensive). For carbs only....SU's ...Burlen Fuel Services in Salisbury and for SU's and Strombergs, try Southern Carburettors in Wimbledon

There is a valve on the drivers side inner wing that has 3 or 4 brake pipes and an electrical connection. I think it measures the pressure in the brake system and if inadequate, lights a brake failure warning light. They do tend to leak fluid through the electrical bit.......could it be this?

Hi Danny, If it is the same as my '77 Rangie, there is a fuse box on the engine bay side of the bulkhead, on the passenger side. However it is pretty basic stuff. For what it's worth, I don't think the two guages mentioned are fused. The oil gauge is most likely the sender (on the side...

If nobody has helped yet, PM me your email address and I'll send some pics of mine on Monday. (my truck is on the carpark at work):doh: Cheers Chris

I'm pretty certain that each carb supplies two ports on each bank so the fact that one side is wet and the other sooty, doesn't immediately point to a carb problem in my view. I would be leaning more towards an ignition issue. You list the new parts but you don't say if your distributor is...

Er.....He did say SU's:doh::D

One alternative which might get round the IVA I thought about is this: You are perfectly entitled to replace your chassis with a brand new one and the new chassis takes on the old identity number. One of the replacement chassis makers (i think it is Richards Chassis) now do a 100" Defender...

What can I tell you.......I'm 53:D As it happens, I have a 3.9 EFI (1994) lump waiting to drop into my old truck so I'll have all the EFI bits going spare once I have swapped the carbs over:D Interesting about the VC, I thought that came in with the P38. I'll have to read up on how that...

Well apart from exterior sheet metal they are essentially the same vehicle so it boils down to looks and what you want to do with it. There are probably more disco 1s out there which means they are cheaper. In my view the most reliable is a 3.5 carb but that's 'cos I don't understand...

If she's running sweet Rejoice Don't change a thing:D Cheers Chris

Do you know an LPGA installer that will certify a system that they haven't installed, 'cos I haven't found one yet! Cheers Chris

Assuming that your comment is directed to Langers and Terratology, aren't you jumping to conclusions? Neither of them said that their systems have been tampered with to avoid running on petrol, simply that they don't! Terratology stated that his switch provides either power to the fuel pump...

In theory, you shouldn't need any sealer if you are using a new gasket but as ever, theory sucks! So use Blue Hylomar (Halfrauds do an equivilent) non setting sealer. You shouldn't need more than a thin bead and you only need it on the water way joints. Regarding the hose connections you...

Great minds think alike? I am intending to put a Disco 1 dash into my Bobtail to freshen it up. I am pretty certain that the Disco 1 bulkhead and door shells are the same as a RRC, it is only the skin that is different so in theory it would work. Forget Disco 2. Cheers Chris

My mistake, of course they're not the same:doh: What about here? They say in stock Land Rover Discovery 1 Engine Breather System - All Models at www.rimmerbros.co.uk Chris

So, loads of honest opinion and I'll bet you are none-the-wiser! Opinion is formed by personal experience. My experience is that LPG is good but I have never had any problems with it. In fact I don't know anyone who has had problems with gas. My 94 Disco is on 240k miles (converted at...

You've probably pushed it slightly off centre. You shouldn't need to give it any abuse, just a firm hand! Gently pop it outwards a bit using a very small dab on the foot brake pedal and then start again making sure you apply equal pressure across the face of the piston. Forget it, didn't...

You could try here:) 606168 In Line Breather Filter - 3.5 V8 Carb Not listed for EFI but they're all the same, I think. Cheers Chris

Ok, it’s obviously difficult to diagnose from afar but a couple of observations from what you have said. White smoke: It’s been pretty cold lately and you are not loosing coolant. Is it possible that the white smoke is just condensation? Blocked breathers: This is not a good...
