Thanks Gary
The Fuel additive did pep it up a bit, fuel economy is good too, weirdly..
I can get around 100mi from £19 quid which ain't too bad
Millers has made the Gearbox so much smoother
The Diffs and Transfer box are also much quieter, with 184,184 miles it cruises at 60 in virtual silence.
Apart from the rubbish wind noise from the door seals

As long as it meets the Shell spec for the gearbox it should be ok..
indeed it does , also think many oils over time advance past the original oils

Aye they do surpass certain requirements

Cheers , have u done a few tank fills yet to see what ur getting MPG
I’ve used revenol for the transfer and diffs, indeed does indeed make a difference but always think if it’s just because you’ve changed the oils, lol
good to hear all is well with ur disco , have u got to get new door seals or will I get away with just adjusting the catches
Aye they do surpass certain requirements
indeed , think I spent around £200 on oils and filters but would rather do that to prevent damage to the engine/ gearbox , also replace them all each and every year regardless of mileage , know some may think it’s an overkill but just peace of mind

Aye.
Oil is usually cheaper than a Gearbox or an engine LOl
I'll be using Millers in the D2's engine next service.

indeed , same with me ref the millers engine oil, have u got much left to do
for me , front and rear brake hoses, rear drop links, getting the AC regassed , replaced the condensor earlier in the year , ATF oil change , got 10 x litres so think I’ll drain and refil twice over a few hundred miles , not keen on powerflushing ,
got some great second hand panels to replace a few that have got scratches on them , fit my nextbase , Aux fusebox already fitted for it , should then be buttoned up and onto basic servicing , famous last words, lol

Hmm..
#1 the rear of the chassis needs Plating and painting
#2 Exhaust manifold and Gasket + wurth studs
#3 rebuild the sunroof(s)
#4 Install a split battery set up + coolbox in the boot.
#5 Re cover the headliner, with black fabric
#6 EBC brake discs and pads.
#7 New brake lines from front to back
#8 Front A bar and Safari 5000 spots
#9 BFG AT2 tyres
#10 New radius arm bushes
Plus plenty of other things!!
Her AC is ICE cold it is on Bentley level cold, which is nice!
I seem to remember you have a project thread, where did it go?

Last week she decided to shyte the bed with a dicky loom.
Which promptly caused her to cut out at every junction
After cleaning the loom with contact cleaner and giving her a whirl she ran alright, so problem sourced, new loom and cam cover seal on the way!
Shamefully i've never had the acoustic cover off this motor, when it was pulled off, it turns out the front cam seal is pishing oil out, and is looser than a tramps sandle.
Weirdly this old lump doesn't leak from Anywhere else, so a good clean up is in order!
It is getting there, i've run out of brake clean though!
AHh!!
Ain't it always the way!!

The chassis ain't TOO BAD
not brilliant but what ya gonna do with a 20yr old discovery
As far as driving and general relaibility she's been very good, a far cry better than the P38 in many ways..
Easily the best LR to drive, and easily the best looking IMO..
Wouldn't mind a D1 mind you

Right.....
The injector loom as posted above was defective, so as all you know the lid has to come off..
I was quite apprehensive considering what some TD5's look like under there!
ruined rollers and cams + sludge among other things!!
so..
Deep breath oooooooh..
Well happy with the cleanliness.
The cam rollers were also is almost new condition!
very little discolouration on the lobes too you wouldn't know it's pushing 190k, but that proves the 2 full service books don't lie!!
Tapped a new cam seal in, the old one just fell out!
cleaned the plug out with contact cleaner, this is what came out of it..
put a new harness on and put the lid back on..
Alas that didn't fix the issue with smoking and rough idle, so injector seals are next!!
She looks a tad sad at the moment!
