Buggrit, could have sworn the it was the other way around:confused: Spanners, Discos and the aged shouldn't be allowed to mix:)

Having the same problem, fitted new pump and turned the engine before connecting the filter hose,absolutely nothing coming through, just to check? the lower pipe on the pump is the inlet from the tank? Any help gratefully accepted,

Just spent the usual fortune trying to keep my 97 disco alive but now it's struggling to start, once started runs fine but starts to stutter at 2.5 revs just had new battery and starter fitted also timing belt set, anyone any ideas?

What sort of gearbox is fitted to the 89 classic (or is it a vogue) just rescued it and it has zilch paperwork, if anyone knows can you also let me know if the 1st and reverse gears are meant to be so frighteningly close together? Ta
