    2.25 Diesel in early 110

    Its a very early 110, with the 2.25, I am rebuilding one for USA export so has to be original, half of the engine is missing, so I need a reference photo. With these exports its pretty important its all correct, I suspect that retro fitting a 12J would look completely different?

    TD5 Auto Starting problem

    My td5 disco will not start, all the lights on the ignition come on, you can hear the solenoid in the fuse box clicking,and the fuel pump is work but the engine does not make a sound at all, does not even attempt to turn, it did it a couple of times before and eventually started as if nothing...

    Thinking of getting a TD5 defender

    Hi, I currently have a Disco TD5, but i fancy a TD5 Defender, If is was to change the transfer box gearing to that on the Disco and sound proof it (exmoor trim kit etc) and maybe chip it, is it going to be any good on the motorway compared with the Disco?

    Better mpg

    Hi, thinking about getting a 300tdi or early TD5, apart from a kenlowe (or similar) fan conversion and driving slower is there any thing else that can be done to improve the MPG? and what should i expect to get on a run doing motorway speeds? thanks

    Mpg

    unchipped and i do tend to get a shift on. I drove from Bedale in North Yorkshire to Bambury and back, ok i was shifting on a bit, and it was no better than 25mpg i reckon. My mechanic had it in for the MOT the other day and he felt it was a bit sluggish too, he suggested the Oxygen sensor may...

    P38 on Veg oil

    Has anybody out there got a P38 running on veg oil? i know there are a couple of companies ie Smartveg and DieselVeg etc that will do a conversion, but i was wondering if anybody has successfully converted theirs and is happy with the end result?

    Mpg

    thinking of getting another P38 and running it on LPG as my TD5 Disco reminds me of growing up on a farm and listening to the drone of tractors all day, also the fuel economy is nothing to write home about. I do about 600 miles a week all on the motorway, what MPG should i be expecting? is there...

    Discovery 300tdi engine and box into Defender

    Can anybody tell me what's involved in transferring the engine and a gearbox from a disc tdi to a defender. I assume that the gearbox set up is slightly different and therefore better for cursing at higher speeds? is this right? thanks
