    Bone's V8 Disco 2 Build Log

    So not long after I bought the Landy he developed a funny noise underload, sounded like a belt squeaking or a bearing failing. Was a really weird one, got worse once hot. After some investigation I decided it was the OS exhaust manifold leaking. So some nice new stainless hex bolts, Nordlock...

    Head gasket exhaust blow!

    It's the drivers side that is blowing so will only need to remove that manifold to get a better look at it all. Mines a 2003 4.0 V8 auto

    Head gasket exhaust blow!

    Hi guys, I thought my disco had an exhaust manifold leak but now I suspect that the head gasket has blown out at the exhaust side! What's the chance of this happening? It sounds like a train at idle, chuff, chuff, chuff. Will a head gasket change be all it needs or is it likely to need other...

    Exhaust manifold gasket, bolts/studs suggestions...

    Hi guys I need to change the manifold gasket on my 2004 4.0 V8 discovery. Wondering what the best type of gasket (multilayer steel or the compressed material type) would be? Also I'd like to replace all the bolts with upgraded studs/nuts or bolts. Any reccomendations please? Thanks. Tobias.
