    L322 Sunroof replacement

    Those should work fine I would think, mind you does anyone even have net curtains these days?!?!

    Other Disco 1 V8 Auto gearbox

    Small update from me: been in contact with Dave Ashcroft via email, he suggested a few things including dropping the front prop and running it with the centre diff locked. Tried that, and there was a much heavier vibration, like the worst out of balance wheel in the world. I don't know what...

    Oxygen sensors yes, and it's running whatever it came with in the Disco :) which I assume was the original, although we all know what assumption is!!

    L322 Sunroof replacement

    The drains area exactly on the 4 corners of the sunroof cartridge (this I know because the replacement roof came complete with cartridge, and one drain snapped off - just as well I didn't need that. Must admit I didn't actually think to check those. The front ones should be easy enough but the...

    Other Disco 1 V8 Auto gearbox

    hi @AllanWorms , thank you for this. I'm reasonably OK on the 14CUX but you're clearly a long way ahead of me! I do have the speed sensor connected up, and I have Rovergauge, so I'll check that that is still working OK. At some point in the past I did run through the base idea setting...

    L322 Sunroof replacement

    Quick update - completed this job today, thanks again to marjon for the manual pages. Was actually a really simple job, the longest part was getting all the bits of old glass out!

    Other Disco 1 V8 Auto gearbox

    Thanks again @Disco1BFG and @discool . The engine/tickover thing is odd, it's only when you have been driving and come to a halt, the downshifts from the 'box have become more clunky, and it somehow seems to drag the engine revs down as you come to a halt. I don't know whether the transmission...

    Other Disco 1 V8 Auto gearbox

    I haven't worked out how to quote and reply on here so I'll reply in order! @kevstar - I've just looked and yes, I would say it's more brown than red. I took a picture, which of course doesn't show the colours very well, but I'll try and upload that. Is it worth doing a change, or just biting...

    Other Disco 1 V8 Auto gearbox

    Hmm, I haven't changed those. The engine seems very solid if you try and rock it (I did that to rule out anything moving and then touching the chassis) so I had assumed that the mounts were OK, but that's a low cost option to try, thanks.

    Other Disco 1 V8 Auto gearbox

    I only topped it up Kev, not a full change, although I'm thinking of trying that next. I'll double check the oil colour tomorrow as it's been used a little bit since I posted, so that might give the game away.

    Other Disco 1 V8 Auto gearbox

    Good evening fellow Kentish resident, and thanks for your reply. I did actually send Ashcroft an email which was basically a copy of my post above, but they haven't replied; perhaps it's easier to chat on the phone for them so maybe I'll try a call. I've been puzzled by this heavy...

    Other Disco 1 V8 Auto gearbox

    Hi all, I'm posting this in the Disco section as it relates to a V8 Auto, but the engine and box are actually in my Defender 90, into which I installed a 3.9i V8 and 4HP22 transmission from a Discovery 1, a couple of years ago. Apologies in advance if this is a long post! I drove the...

    L322 Sunroof replacement

    Thanks marjon, this is exactly what I was hoping, that it would be relatively straightforward, and the clips you have posted indicate that and are really helpful. Once I have the replacement here, it should be easy for me to see what's what and go from there.

    L322 Sunroof replacement

    The sunroof on my 2010 L322 shattered just after Xmas, rather weirdly this happened immediately after I had the front jacked up to replace the brake pads. It's not as if (a) the sunroof is bonded to the body or (b) the car hasn't been jacked up dozens of times before. Anyway..... I contacted...

    How do you value an original defender?

    This is a question I've been pondering too. I have an original 90 (1986) which, after a few iterations, now runs a 3.9i V8 and.....an auto box. Kind of "just because I could" but it was something I wanted to do and MrsC always found the old LT95 too agricultural (although she hasn't driven it...

    Resonating booming noise

    I've tried to do that a few times, both as a video and as plain audio, and for some strange reason the phone just won't pick up the noise at all!

    Resonating booming noise

    Thanks for the reply, appreciate it. Pretty sure it's not that though. Both the exhausts I have had own it were brand new. I've also been through the inlet system, tried it with/without the air filter, swapped the MAF out with a spare one, I even wrapped the elephant trunk hose in cling film...

    Makes me wonder ifwhen I would use it.

    I don't like the front end at all, where did they get that grille from? Despite it's stance it looks very much like it's intended for the street only. I like a smart Landy, but I'm not keen on this one.

    Resonating booming noise

    That's the best I can describe it! My 90 has the 3.9i engine and outbox from a Disco 1 fitted. As far as I recall, the Disco drove very nicely before it was broken (due to terminal rot in the chassis and bulkhead). When I fitted the engine, I wasn't aware of an off-the-shelf exhaust, so I...
