n e 1 recognise this fella?????

the ongoing saga of this engine.. it's been in the garage and had the ctas sut out, the dizzy rebuilt and the prop shaft repaired.. good news it's back on the road.. but it's still missing badly, really low on power across the rev range but especially at low revs and when cold.. grrr...

3.9 v8 auto disco '98 Sommat went bang, sounded like it was dragging along the ground and lkost drive. Engine running ok. Popped in low no difference so locked diff and now have drive but horrible noise.. guessing. I can pull half shafts to drive on and get to somewhere I can look tomoz but...

V8 auto disco 1 '98 first of all am I on the right track.. lack of power on petrol and lpg, with no load engine revs freely and sounds sweet, under load lack of power, gearbox kicks down fine and changes well (although a little clunky when taking up / dropping drive - I presume the prop uv's...

How do I knwo if my cats are fubar.. I have been told that it's a likely cause of my loss of power and a likely side effect of the overheat and hen poor timing i had when i blew the head gaskets but even a decat pipe is costly if the problem is caused by sommat else.. so how do I test??? 3.9...

i hate t mobile.... simple jobs always seem to stump me.. trying to do front discs.. got the hub off and all easy peesy.. took me about 1/2 hour to get the first hub off so thought I might manage to match the book time for this job after all.. but that was at 6 oclock.. since then I...

sounds like a silly question for such a cheap thing but can i re-use the circlip on the front huns when i change my discs over? Seems odd that it isn't included in the kit if you are expected to change it... ut it's the sort of thing that can turn a couple hours work into a car off the road for...

are any of the V8 experts free some time very soon to come and help me diagnose my car.. was running brilliantly since I did the last few jobs after the head change until couple days ago when it seemed to have lost a little power and the tick over had dropped again.. now it stalls on...

ever since I go t my discovery 3.9v8 sorted I have been reeeeeally impressed with the engine but have noticed a disturbing number of clunks and squeeks and rattles etc.. they may well have been there all along but would have been harder to hear over the engine.. so first of all is it normal.. do...

in the past week I have managed to get: a distributor with cap for £31 delivered a new air box for £15 delivered a new MAF sensor for £29 delivered a set of exhaust manifold for £10 each including the exhaust flanges - but need to get them from Norfolk.. isn't Ebay great sometimes!!!

Norfolk to Wiltshire. Aylsham (between Norwich and Cromer) to anywhere in Wiltshire I can pop over and pick up a pair of V8 exhaust manifolds and flanges pretty please with a pint on top :D

Does anyone know where I can get (or have for a lend) the diagnostic connectors and software for a Marini autogas single point lpg installation? I would like to see if it registered any fault codes when it back fired the other day or if I can use it to set up the LPG and help sort the problems...

I have spent another day on this car and felt like it was all going swimmingly.. no bits left over, everything seemed to fit... but it wont start... HELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPP for them wot don't know I have just changed the head gaskets on my V8 discovery '98 auto

all.. (especially them online now...) I can't get the last headbolt to move on my discovery V8.. any ideas?????????

I am home.. had a brilliant day, thanks to everyone for help and directions.. must have bee firing on less than 8 all the way home cos I got to just round the corner and the temp guage shot up.. oil light came on.. stopped on the drive and checked.. oil full, water not.. filled with hot water...

well I have my lovely MOT now and wanna get out and get muddy.. nothing too strenuous, don't want to break it straight away.... so anyone about for a bit of a drive.. ideally someone who knows what they're doing cos I don't... (c'mon SLUTS.. you know I mean you... :D)

OK.. MOT due.. this thread's more for me than you but it might be useful to someone and I know there's knowledge out there that can help me out.... The MOT is due 13th Jan.... Need: ABS - reset fault codes and identify / fix cause Front fog lights... remove and cut off front valance...

don't know if you SLUTS heard me on the CB today... I heard you... who was stuck then.. and where were you....

owdoo... I have pages and pages of unread posts.. so when I click new posts I get 20 odd pages of them.. most of them are subjects that I don't have so much interest in so I just want to mark them read and get a clear idea of freds I am interested in that i haven't read updates on so is there...

I have searched and although i found this question asked before I couldn't find an answer... the good old LR manual says the airbags need to be replaced every 10 years. It seems the kit is easy enough to change - bolt on components all round... but I am guessing relatively expensive.. has...
