As is stated, choke control. It’s even shown in the disco parts & workshop manual, which are a copies of both the RRc manuals, so for some markets the automatic choke control wasn’t acceptable perhaps Also the bimetal assembly appears to alter the level of a jet so part of the carbs cold...

So if you have a 3.5 disco between 1989-1990 years, both the carburettors had a choke that was operated by a bimetal assembly CUD2399L as shown as no.16 in the drawing below so not cable operated. Later in 1990 the 3.5s were fuel injection until the 3.9 arrived.

The lack of vacuum to the brake servo possibly, so check pipe from the servo to where ever the vac connection is on the D2V8. There will be a filter/restrictor as part of the connection at the servo, and if like the D1V8 there is also one at the engine vac connection, which is on the plenum...

My everyday fob failed with the “close to the ignition switch” function after about 18 years, so out came the nearly new reserve fob which is in a fully functional used now, the original fob is now the ‘just in case’ reserve and functional using the unlock button now. Being close to the...

It’s called‘ passive immobilising’ so they all do that, no need to lock and unlock just pressing the unlock button on the fob will remobilise the engine and if working correctly the placing the fob close to the ignition switch. You will get an indication that the fobs battery is failing, and...

If the pin has never been touched then I expect it’s seized. No other tricks but if its like my disco then three bolts holding it and so the whole item can be re moved and what ever is behind can be sprayed with your WD40 and then able to turn it with your screwdriver in the slot on end of the...

Hi, is the issue that the V8 fuel injection isn’t functioning?. The only issue Ive had is from the ‘spider’ immobiliser in that it permanently inhibiting the 12v to the ignition coil which then goes on to EFI ECU so although the engine cranked there wasn’t a spark at the plugs, and then now the...

The bonnet pin its adjustable to take up any wear. so you could try extending the pin so it goes slighter deeper into the catch on the slam panel. So slacken the bonnet pin locknut then unscrew the pin anti-clockwise just half or even a full single turn should be sufficient, then do up lock nut...

I expect so as that cover is intended as an anti tamper, its removal have been mentioned in various forums, Ive never seen one before so it looks as you have to be brutal with it. But first i’d check the electrical function of the solenoid and the wires to it.

My two minutes of Googling shows me where it’s positioned on this bit of kit… an injection pump 🤔 and based on the pt number given in an earlier post.

The original Defender & RR, but there adapters I believed to enable other wheels to be fitted. Sent via my iPad on a train

Use hight temp gas sealer, its a bit specialist so expensive, I've seen it used on high pressure steam pipes, but now its available in small DIY tubes just right for the hot V8 engine bay 😊 But then you could try normal vehicle gasket sealer or the ‘superglue type’ based sealer of various...

If… you require an ignition switched 12v supply then drop the fusebox cover and in the top right hand area you will see a two wires side by side, one is red/white the other is thicker and yellow this one is live in position two of the ignition switch. Use a thin wire with a stripped end and...

The Emergency Key Access code is a use once only security deactivation “get you home” code, and as you have found out it works, the EKA will remain inactivated until the fob is next used to lock your vehicle. Therefore the original issue needs to be rectified otherwise you will have to enter the...

Ok, as I said the genuine LR 3.9 oil pump was described as self priming, with one of my oil changes I forgot to fill the filter before fitting, so on starting the dash illumination didn’t extinguish instantly, as it did normally, but remained for around 20 seconds or so. My question is how do...

The oil filter should now be full of oil, but if no it up with with as much oil as you can without spilling it when refitting the filter. But then 3.9 pump is supposed to be self priming, Ive never had any issues in the 23 years I’ve been doing oil changes when filling both the sump and filter...

As both have different part numbers that suggests to me they are different in someway.

This is an auto shifter surround for a D2 I believe, so the usual L & W & H and maybe the circumference ? 😊

The you slight vibration when rolling that you mentioned could be mechanical Its not unknown for one or both of the prop shafts to have an issue, it could be as simple as the UJ s or prop shaft not being greased… if so get the grease gun out. But then it could be a faulty UJ which is more...

Well, you have the firing order that was easy as you had the drawing, so did you start plug lead 1 in the position as the drawing shown below next to the dizzy clip that at the bottom of the cap with a slight to the left, lead 8 is on the other side of the clip. Hopefully you’re not going to...
