    Disco 1 Starter motor problem

    Hi im looking for a bit of advice on a weird starter motor problem. The motor has been sitting in my garage for about six months and the one on the car is knackered so I decided to rebuild the spare one. When I benchtest it it's got plenty of power and the solenoid kicks the gear out with a...

    Oil pressure too high

    Just got round to looking at the oil fault and taken the oil Thermostat Off and it only got 1 washer in so put one more on and replaced the oil filter. Didn't look at the pressure valve cus I forgot it was in the pump but I looked at the old pump and it's just a piston with a spring so don't no...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Was lacking in power so checked for leaks on the boost pipes and cleaned the air filter witch made no difference so adjusted the turbo actuator 1.5 turned and now I can go up hill quicker than 40mph. :D

    The gauge is new so I'm guessing it's right

    Oil pressure too high

    All the bearings were replace but the cam bearing were done by a specialist so don't no if there in right but it's too hard to check so they r staying like they r. I like the Idea of changing the oil. I didn't know what the number meant for the oil type I will still check the prv when I get a...

    Oil pressure too high

    Ok I will check the prv is a standard set up and if it is I will do a oil flush and hope for the best.

    Oil pressure too high

    So why dose the book say max 55psi and I got 70psi when cold. I thought the valve will bring it back down to 55 in till it's gets hot and sorts it self out.

    Oil pressure too high

    If I put thinner oil in I will get less pressure at idle and it's only at 19psi at the mo that's why I think it's a problem with the prv but I don't no how the valve can stick shut. Be for I rebuilt the engine I checked the spring and it was in limits.

    Oil pressure too high

    It's not a problem when it's hot. It's when it's cold it's at 70psi when at 3000 revs

    Oil pressure too high

    Hi I've just recently rebuilt my engine and now I have put a new oil pump on because the oil pressure was still too low when the engine was hot but I've just started it with a new pump with the engine obviously cold the pressure goes up to 70psi is this right or have I got a problem with my...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    Got myself a mot and some tax yesterday then today I replace my oil pump with a bran spanker whilst my mate did a bit more structural work on the roll cage.

    Roll cage advice.

    Think it's a bit over the top if I'm using it on the road. Thanks for all you'r help anyway.

    If it's to protect your radiator why do they point forward.
