Ok I will try purging the fuel pump tonight. I have tried the ignition on, pump accelerator pedal five times for the MIL to come on, but mind doesn't to that. No MIL light. So I will leave the pump running for 2-3 minutes and turn off for a minute, then re-do this about 10 times to see if...

Thanks for the replies. If it was timing and injectors, surely it wont run at all or run badly? It runs great for about a minute, and then it seems to run out of fuel. It then takes a lot of cranking to get it to start again, and then runs out of fuel again. The fuel pump always seems to have...

Ok thanks i will try that too

Not sure of where the air bleed valve is, on the fuel filter on the rear chassis leg?

Thanks for the replies. I have done the leave the pump running for 5 minutes purge about 7 times. I did try the position 2 with the key and pump the accelerator pedal 5 times, but it didnt bring up the engine light! I will try the leaving pump to run and not starting it tomorrow.

Hi All I have just replaced the head, all water items, rad etc, and intercooler on my I also adjusted the injector tappets. The car started after a few cranks, run for a minute and stalled. I now leave the pump running for about a minute, then crank it for a few minutes, it will just...

Hi guys An up date. I bought a recon head, new radiator, intercooler, thermostat, water pump, etc. to put on the discovery. Fitted everything this weekend, and all seemed fine. The engine started after a few cranks, and ran great for about 5 minutes on tick over. Then it started to slow...

Thanks for the replys guys, that now makes sense. I will probably go sith a recon head that has been skimmed and valve re cut.

Ok will do, thanks

Hi, how much for the cylinder head? Thanks Dave

Hi All I have taken off the head on my 1998 TD5 Auto Discovery 2, and i have a three hole gasket. I am thinking of buying a reconditioned head which would be skimmed to ensure that i have a good head to bolt on. My question is do i use a three hole gasket even with a slimmed head? Thanks

Hi All Fairly new to Land Rovers, and i do n;t post too much, however I'm after some advice. I have a 1996 Discovery 3.9 V8 auto, with a sequential LPG conversion. Do any one have a idea to what to set the ignition timimg to? The hand book suggests 6 degs for petrol, but should it be advanced...

That sounds like me Willy Eckerslike! Thanks for the info, I'm now off to get a 52mm socket! David

Hi All New to Land Rovers so I'm after some advice. I have a 1996 Discovery XS 3.9 and I want to change the brake discs all round. Can some one please tell me the hub nut size before I start to strip the discs. Also do I need to put in any new gaskets etc? I've just changed all the shock...
