    V8 O2 Lambda sensor - changed but EML back on?

    Haha everyone asks me that!! It's not my everyday car, so makes it easier. Stopped raining there yet?! Lol

    V8 O2 Lambda sensor - changed but EML back on?

    Yeah I'd heard something about LPG can effect them early. Mine hasn't got an LPG system though so assumed it was the mileage!

    V8 O2 Lambda sensor - changed but EML back on?

    Yeah I found that too, loads of info from America on the v8's but not much from British forums. Out of interest what sort of mileage has yours done? Wondering if it's a standard thing at a set mileage they start to wear out - mines just shy of 125,000 miles. Be interesting to see if the new...

    V8 O2 Lambda sensor - changed but EML back on?

    That's really strange it happened down here! Hopefully mine will stay off, fingers crossed. Hope you manage to get it sorted as well. I'll keep an eye out for you later this year!

    V8 O2 Lambda sensor - changed but EML back on?

    Hey, not sure whether you got this fixed but I had exactly the same problem on mine. Kept putting it off as the thought of attempting to get the sensors out was so off putting, however two weeks ago the light has gone out, checked the codes no problems and running like a dream now. Might not be...

    Oxy sensor confusion... help?

    hi everyone I recently replaced my upstream oxy sensors as the engine light came on. Replaced, removed the code and all was well. Haven't used the car for a couple of weeks and went out on Friday. After about 20 mins the engine light came back on, no other symptoms. Plugged in my diognotic...

    My First Discovery 2 V8

    I was wary about the LPG conversions purely because I had no clue about them and wouldn't know if they were good or not! Same here, I have my everyday car for work etc. then this for the weekends. Would love to use the Disco everyday but I probably wouldn't be able to afford to eat haha. Not...

    My First Discovery 2 V8

    Thanks, I'd go for it, a very strange feeling if you have been used to driving diesel Land Rovers before! Mine isn't LPG I actually specifically looked for one which wasn't. Only a second car, owned it around 7 weeks and still using the same tank of petrol from when I filled it up... that...

    My First Discovery 2 V8

    I recently uploaded a photo onto here about 6 weeks ago of my new purchase, a 2002 Discovery 2 V8 facelift. It's my first ever Land Rover which is used as a second car and so far I am loving it. I have finally got around to doing some of the small jobs to it which were required and thought I...

    Coolant Levels?

    Thanks both - hopefully nothing majorly wrong with it, will keep an eye on it and do what you suggest after following the manuals advice.

    Coolant Levels?

    Thanks for this. When I purchased the car they had carried out a service on it. Coolant looks new, very pink but the level does fluctuate. If there is air in the system is it easy to rectify?

    Coolant Levels?

    Hi, I have a V8 Disco, the coolant level appears to fluctuate, sometimes I will go to the car and it is pretty low, not empty however. Then other times will be fairly high. Is this normal? Can see no apparent leaks and done the usual checks for HG failure. Just curious really. Thanks Ryan

    Other what have u done on ur disco today

    Replaced my misted up and corroded fog light, having to dremel every screw off... removed headlight and placed into a warm place to remove condensation, attempted to replace the hydraulic strut on the rear step... work in progress!! And finally managed to place my personalised plate on, at last! :D

    Disco V8 oxy sensor?

    Finally got around to sorting this today - they really were a pain to get out. A few hours later, all sorted and new ones fitted. Running perfectly. Thanks for the help!

    Ahhh thank you! Was getting all sorts up when googling so thought I'd turn to here. I take it there is two needed then?

    Disco V8 oxy sensor?

    Just got my new diogmostic reader as I have an engine light come on. Just read the codes and it's come back as a oxy sensor heater upstream cat bank 1 and the same for bank 2. Can someone tell me what this actually means?? Thanks! Ryan

    Disco 2 Wanting to buy but.........

    As others have said, they are out there. I was looking for some time and the MOT history checker is your friend! I was lucky to find (after much searching) a car which had only ever failed one MOT throughout its life on a track rod end. You'll find one, just plenty of patience and searching!
