    Multiple water leaks Discovery 2

    I don't know how different the Disco 2 is, but on my Disco 1, the base of the pillar has a big hole, that was filled with sealer when new... then it cracks and lets water in. It's about where the Yellow arrow is on this pic I stole from above: The Red arrow, is another spot where the sealer...

    Classic Vertical ridge on cylinder wall

    I thought it looks like a rust mark, that been cleaned off. Especially how it looks like a puddle formed at the bottom? Maybe the head gasket leaked a dribble and it sat and rusted the liner. All the other marks look a lot like moisture damage, from sitting, at some point.

    V8 disco 1 has no spark

    On the positive side of the coil should be 3 wires - one for the RF suppressor, one to the ignition module and one is the power feed from the ignition switch circuit to power the coil and ignition module. ARE THEY ALL THERE? It could be something as silly as the power wire fell off :) Forget...

    Its broken.

    14CUX is very, VERY simple and actually generally reliable. Megasquirt is a very steep learning curve, as is any kind of engine conversion. If you can't do the bare basics, getting halfway through something 1000X more complex and discovering as issue is going to mean the same situation, which...

    Battery explosion

    There should be a hose from the vent hole, to the exterior. One BMW E34's, with the battery under the back seat, it seems to be common that people would do the same thing and have them expolde eventually. There is usually an little elbow that fit's into the vent hole and discharges gasses...

    D1 door seals

    If the door seals are iffy, replace with D2 ones - 1000X better. At the base of the windscreen, there is a massive hole, sealed with the seam ****ty sealer they used down the seams behind the front wings. I'd have thought the windscreen fitters would have found it if it was an issue, but if...

    HELP!!! engine overheating - at the end of my tether!

    On a disco 1??? can just about gaurantee the seams up the A pillars have sealer that has cracked and causing rust, plus at the windscreen base there is a massive gap and the sealer will have cracked and lets rain in. From the windscreen base, under the scuttle and right down the A pillar ...

    Axle Stands

    There have been recalls on a number of stands *similar* in design to those, above. Broken welds. broken locks, cracks on folds etc. I have 4 big iron base mothers, from probably the 50's or 60's. Huge threaded shaft and a spinny wheel-nut thing to adjust them. Apparently you can still buy...

    Who dun it?! Disco 1 inner wing drain

    Having water run down there isn't really the issue... it's the seam sealer they used - it's dried out, cracked and holds water./moisture behind itself, on the panel. The whole lot needs stripping off, rust removed and re-sealed with a modern urethane or modified polymer sealer. The factory...

    3.9 V8 auto 14CUX limp mode/no power

    Get rovergauge. make or buy a cable. Download the ZIP from Github. It's free, except the cable, but I think they were 4o pounds on ebay, or about half that to make, but you have to get all the bits. 14CUX has no "limp mode" in the traditional sense. If it's not running right, it's reading...

    D1 intermittent wipers don't work

    The MFU probably directly triggers the relay in the drivers footwell (RHD). My relay was faulty - replaced and intermittent came back.

    It won't need a MAF then; just a replacement spring, every now-and-then.

    FL2 Engine Stopped While Driving - Dropped Valve, Engine Swap

    Perhaps there is a lip in the rear of the cavity, so the seal is pressed all the way back?

    Scored myself a new job

    None of my mates mentioned doing a ram raid on Thursday... but I haven't talked to them lately, because we've all been getting ****ed for the holidays 🤣 One of the Anaesthetists at work reported his car stolen... after a couple of drinks with workmates... The cops called him several days later...

    Potential Oil pressure issue

    What grade oil do you have, and how cold is it before start up? Oil is always thicker when cold, so it can take longer to flow - hence the invention of multi-grades. Engines don't actually need oil *pressure*, they actually require flow and the pressure is a rough indicator of flow. If you...

    Series 3 petrol extremely slow turning after electronic ignition fitted

    And make sure the timing is the same as it was (or at least, correct). If it's firing early, it might slow the crank speed down further, and prevent starting.
