    Disco 2 ECU with hand written "Disco P10" eh?

    Might anyone have an idea what that might mean? was cleaning up this afternoon still removing the odd dribble of oild from the wiring harness by the ECU. Decided to give the unit a polish and found written on the back in in silver pen are the words. Disco P10 took a closer look and there are no...

    Disco 2 Lacking in performance and acceleration

    Not in the slightest Stanley feel free mate. Actually i did the garden sprayer trick at the weekend and got another couple of liters in there but it's a hell of a mess. I'm going to go by and ask the village garage if they can read off the codes for me just see if there's a clue there. What I do...

    Series 3 ACU - SU Carb Powerplus kit - Here at last!

    For some people the answer is false teeth for others its expensive implants or vaneers, cleaning your teeth properly might help keep fillings at bay but in the end its all a personal point of view in no way intended to give a false or misleading result as all of them can take a bit from an...

    Disco 2 Lacking in performance and acceleration

    thanks, yes it was fully gunked up. Do you think the ECR blanking will only make this worse now then or improve it? It's way way better than it was but i still have like a flat spot and no real kick down acceleration but the gear changes are for sure improved. Could this be that throttle sensor...

    Series 3 ACU - SU Carb Powerplus kit - Here at last!

    Ok mate you seem to have a bit of an issue with me, all you do is contradict and tell me i'm lying so I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree what I can tell is you is what I said in the past. 123 ignition (do you work for them) is not a solution for me. The SU carb and the dizzzy...

    Series 3 ACU - SU Carb Powerplus kit - Here at last!

    couple of bits I forgot, The pancake filter didn't pass swiss mot, i bought a Ubend from HSJ and used the old inlet part and reconnected the breather and the original air filter. All those clear plastic pipes got replaced with proper ones. The vacuum pipe nipple broke of (now held on with JB...

    Series 3 ACU - SU Carb Powerplus kit - Here at last!

    Your running a 2A right not a 3? Totally the improvement was massive but if you were to follow the whole back story there was a struggle with the old zenith, then i bought a new one (cheap **** copy) and it got worse, lots of dicking around with the 123 LX dizzy which finally got replaced with a...

    Disco 2 Lacking in performance and acceleration

    A big improvement yesterday, did the stall test and I’m at an easy 2600+. Injector wiring harness was in the Post so I swapped that out, the MAP sensor (on the inlet manifold) was full and I mean full of gunk, I used industrial tar remover (butane propellant with alcohol and isopropyl plus some...

    And it’s called a Stall Test… should it stall or not?

    Disco 2 Lacking in performance and acceleration

    Isopropyl is what we use on the tape recording heads I can tell you it leaves no residue for certain but also the spray contact cleaner is too. It’s called contact 60 and is a mix of butane and isopropyl so some countries it’s unavailable as it’s deadly in the wrong hands ☠️

    Disco 2 Lacking in performance and acceleration

    Is the cleaner special? We use electronic contact clear by the Ton daily if that works..

    Disco 2 Lacking in performance and acceleration

    The MAF is the one after the air Filter? The MAP is by the inlet manifold right?

    Disco 2 Lacking in performance and acceleration

    Ok team so I have messed up somewhere as now I’m experiencing a lack of acceleration and power. Standing i can rev the engine way up to 4000rpm no problem but when driving it’s struggling to get up to 3000. The acceleration pedal seems to do almost nothing, it’s on the floor, no kickdown, gently...

    Disco 2 Tyers, who uses what what for?

    I live up here since 30 years so I’m used to and have chains, spikes are forbidden in Switzerland and if it gets real bad up here I use the series 3. Im expecting around 200 francs per tyre so it might just stretch to grabbers.

    Disco 2 Tyers, who uses what what for?

    Do not need proper off roaders like the grabbers on my Series3, mostly road work but Alpine roads and a lot of towing. Who would recommend what? Simon

    Disco 2 The waste gate conspiracy (hehe)

    Just joking with the title folks. So much has been written about releasing the inner monster of your D2 by adjusting the waste gate pushrod to 11 or 13 threads however it's not for me as I'm not trying to turn mine into a racing car but more need to plod along towing a rather large trailer full...
