Hi All, I have a 1998 Disco 1, 3.9 V8. I have a quick question about the distributor. As you can see the vac pipe connects to the side of the distributor, but what's the other bit sticking out of the distributor, should there be another pipe or something connected to that? Badly explained...

Hi All, At the moment when I start my engine from cold (3.9 v8) it is really rough, sounds like a missfire, but after a minute or two it is all normal and also runs fine on lpg. I thought it was the vac pipe from the air filter box, simply because it wasnt connected. So when I re connected the...

Hi All, I have what I think are vacume pipes, that come from the throttle linkage, cruise control unit and somewhere else I can never follow it to the end, but they all come to a T piece. They are forever splitting and causing problems, to be honest I think they are just old and need...

Hi All, I have a single point lpg system, I have an Emmergas (or something like that) vaporiser which I think is faulty. Now a guy has quoted me £200.00 to fit a new one, but I can get one cheaper off ebay. I would be happy to change it myself but have been told I would need a computer to...

Well WD40 won't shift it, so I got this industrial strength lubricant called PX40, through work. I got underneath and gave the whole thing a damn good spray, got a good covering myself. Then I went and removed the gear knob for the low range box and gaiter, I got my stanley knife and cut away...

Hi All, Not the best start to the day, my exhaust has snapped off at the back box. I am going to order a new one today, my question is with the exhaust now being so short and close to the petrol tank, is it safe to drive it 6 miles or so. Thanks John

Hi All, Im a bit gutted today, my story beggins a few days ago when the clutch started slipping, so out of interest I checked the automatic transmission flui level and the dipstick was dry, so I topped it up until I could see fluid on the bottom of the stick with the engine switched off as it...

Hi All, I have just changed the bulb in the digital clock in my 1998 Disco 1 and now most of the digits do not display anymore yet the bits that do display light up as they6 should??? Now when this happens on my digital watches I know the battery has gone, but since the clock runs off the...

My dad has got a 2000 reg P38, not so long ago it lost the sync code and would not turn over, some one on here very kindly let him borrow there sync mate and it got it sorted out, however the other day it lost it's sync again, so he got on the good old world wide web to price up sync mates and...

Hi All, I have got a 98 Discovery and yes that time of year again rain, rain, rain. I have had my Disco 2 years now so I am no stranger to the old duck tape on the sunroofs routine ...BUT... I think the 2 little windows at the back/top of the car are leeking as the rubber seal is...
