Thanks for that I have already done the cap, rotor and leads. Looks like this is the next job after Xmas.

My 1992 3.5 V8 starts first time every time when the engine is cold but when the engine is hot and you try to start it, it turns for 5-10 seconds before catching and even then I have to give it full accelerator pedal to get it to start.I was at a local landy club meet the other week and one of...

After buying a 1992 V8 I have just had my first day offroading (TYRO) with the Wye and Welsh LRC near Cardiff. I can now see why its so addictive! Watched the Loonies in a time trial as well, It could be while before I am ready for that sort of crazyness! Everyone was helpful and full of good...

If its the original radio the main dealer's have a master code although you may well have to pay for the service.

I always thought that if there was no oil under it then there was no oil in it? you have been lucky, I park my Disco 1 V8 on the wood chippings along the side of the house so that I dont notice it. Sorry I could not be of any help.

I finally got around to starting the oil change on my 1992 3.5 V8 late this afternoon. The trouble is my socket set goes up to just over the inch and they are too small to get the sump plug out. Does anyone know what size it is? My adjustable just felt like it was going to round it off as it was...

1992 V8 with 133k on the clock and it's giving me 18-20mpg. Exhaust note makes up for the financial loss though!

I could try but no promises. Send your phone number and bank details, she will nag you to death on one and empty the other quicker than a V8 disco deals with a tank of unleaded.

Thanks for that my wife has been told that the car would like a guard for xmas. Nige

I am joining the local Landy club to do a bit of off road stuff. I have been told that I need a front recovery point and another spring on the accelerator to return it to idle. The obvious answer is to attach a tow hook to the metal? (front bumper). Will this be 'beefy' enough or am I likely to...

Its the EFI and no smoke out of the back on starting, runs beautifully once going; just a pain if you forget to put the foot down. Does not stall even after a good run, revs solid at about 750 on tickover.Nige

I am going to do oil, leads and plugs this weekend, will let you know

I have bought a 3.5 V8 (1992 on a 'K') to start it I need to have the accelerator flat to the floor, otherwise it just turns and does not fire. It will than start and run without any problems. Any ideas?Regards,Nige

Thanks for that, the sale fell through but I now have another one in my sights and its heater works. I am going to bite the bullet regarding fuel because the sound of that engine will make up for it! Its only money afterall and you can't take it with you.

I am looking at buying a 1994 3.9 Disco but the heater / fan does not work (blow) at all. The price is good, it only has 90k on the clock. Should this be something to worry about ? I am pretty good mechanically and would do the job myself but I am concerned about the possible costs. The first...
