    Swivels - one pack grease thing

    When I bought my 97disco I was told he'd had the swivel housings done with the one-pack grease replacement (whatever that is) I though I'd top it up with Hypoid like I used to on my old Series LR. All it did was leak out over the seals onto the drive. 1) Have I done damage? 2) What should I...

    auto dim rear view mirror - I have searched

    Old mirror is on the work bench now. Just out of interests sake. It was a right bugger to get apart. No screws or anything dammit.

    auto dim rear view mirror - I have searched

    Took it off (along with some off the glass - all I did was pull it hard after no joy with other methods) - Why the hell the workshop manual couldn't have told me it was on a bracket and all I had to do was SLIDE it down beats me. So now had to epoxy the hole in the windshield. Too right I'm...

    CD Error - have searched previous answers

    Ejected mag using the trick I found on this forum (credit card slid under mag). Pulled cd out of played with needle nose pliers. Green button flashes for a second and won't eject even an empty mag. Tried putting mag in with just one cd - no joy.

    So reading here showed me how to eject the magazine. Found a cd stuck in the cd player. Removed it. Mag back in. Still says CD ERROR - any ideas? Cheers

    auto dim rear view mirror - I have searched

    I've searched for previous replies. I can see the photoelectric fluid is droppping (don't know where - can't find a leak onto dashboard). If I press the glass, it pushes fluid back up. If I take mirror off and have a look - can I fix it? If I clamp the outer casing down really hard to flatten...

    HELP -3.5 EFI starting / running problem

    Well, he thinks it may be ok now, but still needs a few more days to be sure. He changed ecu, MAF, all sorts apparently. Drained all fuel - did find it a stange colour (but he had used an additive recently) and he found some water in the fuel. So with all those changes who knows which one...

    3.5 V8 EFI trouble

    Still no joy today. Mate has given me the wrong manual on cd rom so couldn't do the continuity test procedure to figure out what the pins were saying. Fuel delivery is ok. Runs on gas ok, so ignition system assumed ok. Starts on petrol after loads of cranking. Real haed scratcher for us...

    HELP -3.5 EFI starting / running problem

    Still no joy today. Still trying to find the continuity test procedure page of the manual. Looks like my mate has given me the wrong manual though (on cd disc). Everyone is scratching their heads on this one. Pump etc is working A ok. Engine runs on gas ok so ignition system assumed ok.

    HELP -3.5 EFI starting / running problem

    I'll pass that one on to him, thanks. After a day of looking with 2 or 3 mates round (all LR nuts) he has decided to do a pin check from the back of the ECU - I just need to print off the pages from a manual for him to read off the voltages. Hopefuly it will yield some clues - a real tricky...

    3.5 V8 EFI trouble

    He says the engine wouldn't start at all if that was the case and the engine does start after a few goes, just not run for long. After a day of looking with 2 or 3 mates round (all LR nuts) he has decided to do a pin check from the back of the ECU - I just need to print off the pages from a...

    3.5 V8 EFI trouble

    Ok, this is my Dad's car- and he's the real engineer not me, but I have the computer. He is annoyed that he can't figure this out himself, but I've told him there are loads of experts and people who have had problems on here and experience from fixing them. He has a 3.5 V8 EFI. It has...

    Oil from turbo to intercooler

    Thanks for that. I'm no longer worried. It is not too much oil yet, as I don't have to top up engine too often (getting worse, but nothing to worry about yet). Great forum (which of course is down to the posters mainly - well organised site aswell of course)- this is the place to learn. Cheers

    Oil from turbo to intercooler

    Ah ha. A little more worrying. It is an auto box by the way. Looks like I will need to look into this a bit more. The pipe from the turbo to intercooler has always seeped a bit of the black stuff at the flexi attachment to the intercooler (getting past jubillee clips I guess). So I guess...

    Oil from turbo to intercooler

    Ok. I can do that- in fact it is a job I've wanted to do since I read that it helps miles per gallon. I read on here that it is a good idea to flush the intercooler when blamking off the egr valve. Have you found that come MOT, you are up the creek with regard to emissions though, or does it...

    Tailgate locked - won't open

    I had the same problem. Mine wasn't a spring thing though. After doing as you did (lots of climbing over seats and door disassembly and WD40) someone pointed out that it was the OUTSIDE door handle assembly that needed greasing (even though it went up and down, somepart wasn't working). Never...
