    How do I re-instate the ACE system if it's been disabled?

    Can you give me some details please - I'm about to remove the ACE from my D2, which is leaking again.

    Putting a 4.6 V8 into my Disco

    You need a MegaSquirt and Ford EDIS. As a starter for 10 go to www.extraefi.co.uk then flea bay, work on the premise that your loom is hot-wire then all you need to worry about is what engine sensors are in place on the 4.6 e.g coolant temp, air inlet temp and if you want to retain the existing...

    Fried ECU

    Fixed it:) Well temporarily at least until I fix it properly. I eventually realised that the ECU had gone into limp home mode and after finding the following a penny dropped:rolleyes: I ditched the cats during the re-build but kept the lambdas. The mistake I've made is that the bosses are...

    Fried ECU

    After much head scratching, consternation and tinkering I've eventually come to the conclusion that my Disco 3.9 V8 ECU has been fried:mad:. There are plenty of ECU repair companies hawking their wares on t'net, have any of you guys had any positive/poor experiences and could recommend/steer...

    Fried ECU

    I've changed all engine electrical components and sought advice from my indie garage, another non LR garage and the following is from the carelect website. A common ECU problem we see is loss of 1 (or both) injector banks (usually following work in engine compartment) This failure is...

    Engine Electrickery

    My 3.9 V8 Auto Disco revs to 1600 when driving then drops back to tickover, then revs to 1600 then drops back to tickover:mad::mad:. Sitting in neutral (or park) it revs cleanly to the red line but as soon as I'm driving 1600 revs and that's it:mad:. Any ideas? It'd just had new plugs...

    Have I got the kickdown right?

    It was run in gently and does exactly the same under very light throttle loads. I disconnected the kickdown completely earlier, took it out 1600 revs just feathering the throttle and sit drops back down to kickover then builds up again. I think it now may be electrickery!

    Have I got the kickdown right?

    The Disco has gone back on the road today after a 4 month list of job were completed which included a top end rebuild, now the car is running beautifully :cool: but when I took it for a test run soon after a blast to the red line it started misbehaving. It's a 3.9 auto and after exiting a...

    Tapping noise from rhs engine

    The Rover V8 has hydraulic adjusters, sounds like one of the sixteen id dead or dying. Is it worse when cold? It's an easy job to do, inlet manifold off and rocker gear off,no need to take the heads off. They're only a couple of quid each but you need sixteen and if you choose to do the job...
