    Defender V8 3.9EFI manual to automatic

    Because the D2 didn’t fit, or you didn’t try it? My D1 ‘T’ is a bit knackered but I only need the mechanicals. I’m not worried about the reversing light coming on.

    Hummmmmm, the website linkage for a D1 looks the same….

    Good to hear Becks Bear. I have an autobox on a D1 gear change but wonder if the D2 lever will fit. What did you do? My D2 lever and rod. The D1 is a ‘T’ with the button on the dvr’s side. Not the best picture, as I seem to have focused on the ground!

    Interesting, it does for me. Have a search for ‘Team Loafer’ or ‘#61’

    I’ll take a decent picture, but it does go from a tab on the other side of that one you have marked to the inlet manifold, yes. Just to add to the fun, I’m running a RPi Engineering ignition system (and a big K&N). I am in the process of adding more heatshrink to everywhere to safeguard wires!

    Full blown twin, batt setup on the car, and until the belt pinged off, the batts were both seeing 14.1V. 12.7V with the engine off. Here she is… More info here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/what-have-u-done-on-ur-disco-today.307164/page-270#post-5803530

    Serpentine Belt made a bid for freedom…

    Here we go… Probably a bit close to the alternator housing, but I pushing it back with my fingers. It appears to move around, without moving the windings. Out of interest, what does the cone with the green tube at the bottom of the picture do? Tube goes to the inlet manifold.

    Serpentine Belt made a bid for freedom…

    It’s a 3.9l EFi with a serpentine belt running around the water pump, fan, power steering and alternator, so the steering going very heavy was the give away. I turned around and immediately found the belt on the trail, in unmarked condition. Refitted it a couple of times and it leapt straight...

    Good question Discool. It left with a diesel engine (as the rad is still TDi) but currently has a 3.9 V8 EFi. It is running an upgraded PSC Motorsports power steering system, which might be causing it Marjon, good call!

    Tickover. I have to shift to Neutral and turn the wheels straight to keep the engine running.

    What’s wrong with my engine??

    TDi or petrol Grace? White smoke is coolant in the engine, so what does the filler cap look like? Any ‘milkshake’? Or the dipstick looking ‘odd’, ie anything more than clean dark oil on it? I know you said it wasn’t like your D2 blowing it’s headgasket, but this could be a smaller, more...

    Warm welcome Glenn! I would get some steel rims, the same size and some MT tyres and a portable compressor. Lower those pressures when going properly off road.

    Will a D2 auto selector fit a D1?

    Anyone have any thoughts?
