Right, I have today stripped the heads off my Disco 1 3.9V8. There are some marks on the head gasket, though nothing really too drastic. However the inlet ports on cylinders 2 and 7 show signs of water contamination, whilst the others all appear clean. Given that both these cylinders are at...

I bought my very first disco in October. It was a Disco 1 V8 with LPG and I absolutely love. There are little jobs to sort on it but I've done nearly 5000 miles so far, with another 1000 to come this week. Now I've sorted the exhaust downpipe gaskets it's quiet when cruising but a lovely...

Right thought I'd post an update..... Central locking sorted, removed door card, checked everything, worked fine with door card off so repleced door card and still worked LPG had no power, so took a switched feed to the LPG ECU and it worked. However the car wouldn't start in petrol mode even...

I think the rear wash wipe will be electrical, but haven't had a real chance to dig into it yet. I'd read about the vacuum hose for the cruise so I will look at that when I get chance. I managed to get a copy of the service manual online, and found some stuff about the heater. Apparently...

I finally picked up my eBay bought disco1 V8 on Thursday evening after winning it just before going on holiday, and will be spending time looking around it this weekend. It drives ok, although it seems like there might be a bit of slack in the drive/prop shafts somewhere so all the UJs will...

Right, I have finally managed to get a Disco V8 at a price I wanted to pay, with nearly a years MOT(no advisories) and 6 months tax. Won't be seeing it for a week or so as I'm away in Spain, but I do know that the LPG system doesn't switch over, so it is currently working on petrol only. What...

Cheers for the advice. Diesel it is then. I'm not too concerned with economy my van only does between 25-30 mpg but I do most of my miles on a motorbike(somewhere around 30,000 a year), and I want something to use for work when I don't feel like using the motorbike, and maybe have a bit of...

I am looking at changing my van for a Discovery but am having a hard time deciding which one to get, engine wise. I'm leaning towards a 99 or 2000 model as I prefer the forward facing seats and 3 point belts all round. I have 4 kids so it's quite important to me. My major dilemma is...
