the stud bolt is a normal right hand thread, the bolt on the roller is left hand thread. crack the left hand thread while the tensioner is still on the engine when you come to change the bearing....

Good question Discool. It left with a diesel engine (as the rad is still TDi) but currently has a 3.9 V8 EFi. It is running an upgraded PSC Motorsports power steering system, which might be causing it Marjon, good call!

The D1 left the factory with four different engines, two diesel and two petrol, which do you have?😊

An auto box should not be able to stall an engine. If the engine stalls when the power steering is in use the it’s an engine issue, or idle setting. IMO. J

Tickover. I have to shift to Neutral and turn the wheels straight to keep the engine running.

You are on hard lock left or right?

Warm welcome Ryan

Warm welcome Notegirl!

A Discovery Sport automatic gearbox overheating, so it looks like your focusing on an iffy temp sensor, is that a guess or a certainty? as it also could include leaks in the lines or a malfunctioning cooling fan; all of which prevent the...

Changing the one on my TD5 was a right sod, but then I chose not to empty the sump first. Putting the new one in at arm's length through the little access port under the wheel arch, it got very slippy!! No ramp, obvs!;) 🤣

TDi or petrol Grace? White smoke is coolant in the engine, so what does the filler cap look like? Any ‘milkshake’? Or the dipstick looking ‘odd’, ie anything more than clean dark oil on it? I know you said it wasn’t like your D2 blowing it’s...

Warm welcome Glenn! I would get some steel rims, the same size and some MT tyres and a portable compressor. Lower those pressures when going properly off road.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Warm welcome Roving.

I have an autobox on a 3.9 EFI v8 Discovery Mk1 with a secondhand looking ‘T’ auto selector (button on driver’s side of the T). I have been given a much better one from a D2 (round head with a button at the front). Before I take the old one...

I never worry about the Toyota that lanes with me. They are members of this forum & wait for me to break down so they can tow me home…. And they have not had the chance. @Loafer61 carry on posting photos… I like to see all motors enjoying...

There is a land rover picture in that post and the toyotas were to show a little bit of ‘Kenya’…. That is a bit elite-ish against Toyotas, BTDave! Have some love for some fellow off road capable vehicles.

Indeed! Toyotas out for a day… The LR…

Running three sets of sand ladders on it… Good spot, it was originally a TDi and still has that rad in the front. Cheers, plus coupled with the crawler box means it will get through just about anything.

Forget the spade… waffle boards for easy departure Tidy motor.have you still got the radiator in the front(looks tight with that winch there)

@Loafer61 , Unimog Diffs ! Can't see much getting in your way.

I had to add a Kenyan thread…

Hopefully pasted the first test, and ready to fail all the next ones! Northern Kenya, as my profile should reflect…

Morning everyone, probably a good place for an introduction. Disco Mk1 TDi owner now fitted with a 3.9 V8 EFi, unimog diffs and axles, Fox Racing suspension plus a NP205 crawler box and a Magnum transfer case. I went for a short drive looking...

Great thread, according to Mr Mercator (haha) I’m not far from you SITL. Just playing with a new fuel gauge for my Disco Mk1 (‘96) TDi, fitted with a 3.9V8 EFi now. The old gauge on the binnacle didn’t work so hoping that a new gauge would do...
