Ah - quite a lot happened since then. The fault still persisted, and after trying lots of things I decided to seek out some experts. I hunted for someone who knew Rover V8s and LPG systems intimately. I found RPI Engineering in Norwich and they were brilliant. They quickly tracked it down to a...

Is there anyone near to me who has a Nanocom for a Disco V8 Thor who might be able to help me please? I would like to swap my ECM with another but it needs coding to the BCM (or is it the other way round). I have been waiting for three weeks for a Land Rover technician with Testbook to help me...

I'm half way between Huntingdon and Peterborough.

Good to know, but as I don't know anyone locally with any of those bits of kit it doesn't help me too much. Thanks.

Does anyone have experience of the Bosch ECM on a Thor failing? I have been around the block trying to get my engine running smoothly, with help from Peter and Philip. The ECM is logging multiple faults, such as O2 sensor issues, rough road signals, multiple misfires etc. The O2 sensors have...

Going to be Tuesday at the earliest - the car is locked up in my mechanic's yard.

I could be wrong about the distributor. It's definitely a Thor. Has a bunch of bananas. I've been to your workshop - you sold me a couple of pulleys about this time last year. I could get to you - when would be a good time?

I've had my Disco 2 V8 for just over a year now and I've probably only had it on the road for 3-4 months out of that time. I'm at my wits end because now it won't run properly and no-one seems to know how to fix it. When I bought it, there was a mixer LPG system on it. It was OK for a while...

OK thanks, I did Google it but was looking for a recommendation. Plus I'm not just looking for someone who can read fault codes, I want the actual ECU tested.

Can anyone recommend a place where I can send an ECU to be tested for faults? It's a Bosch NNN100470 in a D2 V8 1999 manual. The problem is a very odd LPG issue. The car was originally converted years ago with a mixer system. After some problems with backfiring I have recently had the front...

Because the output from them never changes.

I need two new Lambda sensors on my 99 D2 Thor V8. It's running on LPG with a Romano Sequential system, and they're both not working. It seems to be a minefield out there with all sorts of prices and qualities. I'd rather not pay LR dealer prices, but would worry that a cheapie would be a waste...

Thanks Peter, but how to diagnose it? It's probably not running rich on any cylinder because the system has been mapped with the fault in place. If there is one cylinder that is receiving petrol the system will be sending less gas to that one. If I could cut the petrol to that one I should...

Thanks for the advice all. I have taken the bumper off today and can now see what I am dealing with. I will disconnect the power to the headlamp washer and double the pipe over plus cable tie it as well as stashing it higher than the pump. Should do the trick nicely. Now just need to wait for...

Really as simple as that? Fabulous. Washer pump going on eBay maybe.

I'm just about to replace the broken front bumper on my 1999 D2 with a steel one that doesn't have a place to mount the headlamp washers. I'm not too fussed about having washers and I only have standard halogen bulbs so there's no effect on the MOT. Can someone please tell me how I can disable...

I'm trying to troubleshoot a weird problem. My D2 with Thor has recently been re-converted. The nasty mixer system has been ripped out and replaced with a Romano multi-point system. It's running beautifully, but only after I had driven some distance did I realise that it's using some petrol as...

And you're too late anyway, they don't make the 300 any longer.

Also - there is no admin fee - just the surcharge for paying 6 months or for paying monthly.

I can see how they worked it out. Your £126.50 equates to the annual rate of £230, so the refund should be a multiple of £19.17. £76.66 is a 4 month refund. If you taxed it in December and SORNed it in the same December, they definitely should have refunded you 5 months, which should have been...
