Wurth Bumper dye. Brilliant stuff.

Is the Fuel pressure regulator poked and leaking fuel from the rail, into the vacuum hose; effectlively choking the engine? There should be ZERO fuel in the vacuum hose (from the reg, to the back of the manifold).

Good Grief... So only cat models have metric there? Which is weird considering cat/catless models were sold at the same times, for different markets :D Miine doesn't have cats now, but clearly used to - It's Jap spec anyway. Thanks for the info!

Thanks... Yeah... I had to go home to measure them... turns out they're M8x 1.25!... yet several suppliers say they're UNF and have the same part number. I guess either will work... with enough force the thread and diameter aren't too different :D Still... got it together and it doesn't sound...

Ooof... Somehow those pictures are giant o_O

Argh. Imperial doesn't fit my brain. 1997 Disco 1 3.9 V8: Are the studs in the cast exhaust manifold outlet, to the Y pipe, Metric or Imperial? Searching suggests they are 5/16" UNF. My nuts [:p] are fairly poked, but look more like the UNC tap I have. Are they in fact metric? I want to buy...

I've been hanging out here for a couple of weeks, but actually have a Landy now! 1997 Discovery 3.9 V8i Automatic. It's a bit rough around the edges, but was really cheap. With Fuel prices climbing every day, it seemed like the perfect time to get a gas guzzling V8 :D I'm based in the north of NZ

Yeah... the paint looks a bit rough :) Might have to Camo it :D I suspect it would be a very big money hole... but it would still be cheaper than buying a landcruiser! Plus I'll still be able to say I've never owned a Toyota :p It will only ever be a play thing, if it happens.

Hi Seems nice to me so far ;) Just getting a feel for the place. I don't have a Landy yet, but might be able to wrangle the Disco in my avatar... but without the arse in the window. 97 V8i that needs the exhaust manifold sorted out :cool:
