Hello all, Has anyone attempted to replace the standard alarm in a D1 with an aftermarket one??? How feasible / easy would it be to do???

Glad you're getting there mate!:)

Should tell you in the instrument display, it should tell you how many miles to refill. Have you read the manual?

The original Hawkeye when purchased new came with 1 unlocking key, so it will only be unlocked to the vehicle it was unlocked for by the previous owners. It used to be possible to buy unlock keys for other vehicles within the Land Rover group, I think they were £150ish, but I'm going back a bit...

For me (apart from the Pulmonary Embolism) I've still got the 'Covid cough' sense of taste is still a bit iffy & lethargy. If I go take the dogs for a little trundle around the block I'm knackered when I get back in, I used to take em for a 4 mile jaunt but now 1/2 a mile is hard work...

Its taken me the best part of 2 months to get anything like better, just about feeling human again now. But still really tired even if I do the least bit of a job.

I did, and they were absolutely fantastic!

I ended up ringing 111 couple of weeks ago due to COVID, has a terrible pain on the right hand side of my chest. They immediately sent for an ambulance and took me to A&E, I just thought I'll be given some pills and be out in a jiffy. Couldn't be more wrong, after a load of blood tests, X-rays...

Ah, I'll be quiet then, I only do V8's sorry :rolleyes:

Stolen from Saint v8s post https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/gems-v8-front-cover-timing-chain-and-gears-replacement.277690/ Thats a Gems engine, but its exactly the same process to get the timing chain off any V8, pics for reference so you can see what you're looking at up close

Its literally not held on with anything, the keyway just keeps it in the right position timing wise. Mine took a little wiggling to get it to come off but there's nothing holding it on to the shaft.

Silly question, but have you taken off the camshaft sprocket 1st? If you have then the crankshaft sprocket, timing chain and camshaft sprocket should come off together. The crankshaft sprocket is only held in its position with a keyway and should 'just' slide out.

I bought my Discovery as a 'doer upper' it had been off the road for 5 years sat in a barn. The engine was the 1st thing I started with & have been maintaining it since. Rebuilt the transfer box, new suspension all round, new swivels, brakes, brake lines, you name it! Its like the 4th...

This was my cam, pitted & the lobes were worn on the edges.....

Yeah, Discool it did save me quite a bit, however the £100 was only for the Cam & followers. Add all the other bits & pieces that I did and it was more than double the £100. But whilst everything was stripped I thought I might as well....

Got all the engine spares from Paddocks https://www.paddockspares.com/parts-and-accessories/land-rover-discovery-1/engine-parts/3-9-litre-v8-efi.html?p=2

I changed the cam in my V8 along with the followers, the price was just over £100 for the parts. Well worth it and the engine is silky smooth & quiet. Must admit I did a lot of other things too like push rods, rockers, timing chain & sprockets and cylinder head gaskets. My car only has 75k on...

Disco1BFG The website for the alarm test / repair is https://www.technozen-electronics.co.uk/land-rover-10as-alarm-ecu-services/ Hope you get sorted soon!

Hello Disco1BFG, Did you ever solve you're flickering light problem??? I'm sorry, I know you added me in to the post but unfortunately COVID struck me down & I've been hospitalised 3 times & the 3rd time due to a Pulmonary Embolism caused by COVID!!!:eek::eek::eek: I did eventually get to the...

How much???
