OK - "use a dti gauge". But on what, where? I'm not familiar with anything other than the basic ideas behind the diesel injection pump, so which piece of the pump to put a clock on I don't know.

I'd appreciate some help on this subject as well. Have a slightly smokey 200TDi and I'd like to know more about the pump. #there must be some knowledegable types here.

Where's a good place to get new mouldings from? Son's Disco has bits missing (fell off / brocken off) and it would be a bit tidier with a full set.

OK Dent, thanks for that info. I'll have a look at seeing whether the vehicle can be 'adapted' to take the OEM parts. Looks like a mod to that lower fixing might do it. It's going to be used on the road, mostly, so keeping the roll down would be nice. Richard - I hadn't noticed the missing...

I can't agree that it's home-grown as the parts are too well made. There's no sign on the axle of any other bracketry having been cut off - I had a look under a '95 Disco in the car park and the brackets on that axle are stout and obvious. If the original vehicle came out of the factory with...

Pictures of the antiroll bar and the axle:

Pics - I'll try to get some tomorrow pm.

Once again, I've searched the forum and couldn't see an answer, so...here goes: Got an early Disco 1 and the MOT man said No. It's the links between the axle and the rear antiroll bar. Problem is - they're not the same as the bits that all the LR parts people show on the web. This Disco did not...

Octane ratings, in themselves, do not produce power. Basic power is a function of the calorific value of the fuel. Octane rating is a measure of a petrol-type fuel to resist detonation (pre-ignition, pinking). Availability of a higher octane fuel allows the use of a higher compression ratio. It...

Just a few ideas on the fuel supply side of things and to agree with what a few others have said.. I'm no LR EFI expert, but I've had lots of dealings with other EFI systems and they're pretty much similar. Wrong filler cap / blocked vent - a real possibility. It's difficult to tell whether...

I think it's a Perkins 4-108. Dates to the late 60's and 70's

I've been trying Shell "V-Power" diesel in a 1995 Toyota Estima (2.2 diesel) and a 1997 1800 diesel Fiesta. I think the BP and Shell fuels make the same claims. What I've seen so far is that the economy improved. Estima went from about 29 to 32 and the Fiesta from about 47 to 52. These figures...

This was the original link : EXCLUSIVE VOLKSZONE ONLY MASSIVE DISCOUNT on BOC Argoshield Light gas - VZi, Europe's largest VW forum, community and sales and you'll see that it says the offer has 'expired', however, that was dated September 2009 and I got mine in November. If you use this...

Yep. Well, I'm not brill at mig welding and he was a complete beginner, added to working outside and being at the whim of the weather, it just took ages. We used about 8 of the throw-aways before I saw the BOC gas offer that was originally publicised on Volkszone forum and then on...

Many thanks for the tip aimbones - my son finally finished the welding and we had vincescreens round to put the new screen in. Looks good. Cheers

Hi landy.man - We tried that one (disconnecting the next joint along) and the bugger still leaks at the turbo elbow to downpipe. Grrrrrrr. Like I said at the top - crappy design more suited to a Fiat 500 than Discovery. Think we might take the turbo elbow off and see if we can make something...

Redhand - thanks for that - I didn't know about two different downpipes but it makes sense as it took two of us to get the pipe on and it still seemed short-ish. How do you get the longer one? Was it early/late model? LandyMan - Quite right, big nuts (oo-err) and close to the LH side rail...

Looked through the forums but couldn't find an answer, so...... Trying to fix an exhaust leak on my son's Disco 200Tdi - it's the joint between the turbo outlet elbow and the exhaust downpipe. I can't believe what a crap piece of design it is, or - has someone fitted the wrong parts? It just...

How is the exhaust smoke situation?

Not familiar with your exact oxygen sensor - is it a single wire, three wire or four wire connection?
