    oil pump priming

    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...

    oil pump priming

    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...

    Discovery 1 MAF 14 CUX

    That MAF sensor wiring colour code above is for the 1994MY 3.9. The 1995MY (300series) introduced in June 94 in the UK, has different wiring colour codes. So I’m hoping the info you’re referring to is correct but I expect its similar, but it’s worth checking your on the correct page😊

    Correct, the CO adjusted is sealed, that because the EFI ECU looks after everything on the 3.9… so no need to touch. Although the early 3.5 RR was different, it had caps that could be prised off and they even had a part number. My 3.5 RR started having thick black smoke starting from cold, It...
