Finally remove the complete dashboard, consoles etc to reveal the heater unit, remove from vehicle and, with much effort, separate the two halves to release the heater fan. It is completely fried and as this is an early Discovery. 1990, not quite so easy to identify best replacement. The...

Hi all, I know this question would have been asked a number of times but I can't seem to find the right answer on the forums, at least not for an early vehicle like mine. I recently acquired a 1990 Discovery 1V8 and the heater blower isn't working. I have checked the fuses & relay and power is...

A few days ago I posted about my heater control panel split in two and one side split asking about methods to repair or replace. I had a few good responses, so thank you for those, including a link to buying second hand one from eBay. I was about to go for that but then thought about repair and...

Thanks for finding that! I tried eBay but I think I must be using the wrong description

So I knew the heater control panel in the Discovery 1 I bought was cracked, but I didn't know it was actually in two pieces till I removed it today! I have had a quick look to see if I can find a replacement with no luck – if you or you know someone who has one I would be very grateful...

Thanks for that, you have confirm my thinking that the pump does run all the time – had a Morgan with same engine and the pump that used to run continuously. I have a feeling the choke cable is not correctly adjusted so expect is an issue going through all of the points you suggest plus the carbs

I would much appreciate some advice having recently purchased a Disco1 3.5 on carburetors. Firstly, the fuel pump appears to run continuously when the ignition is on and doesn't shut off and some pumps do when pressure is reached. Is this normal? I seem to recall that it might be but some...

Thanks for the further information, I actually haven't got the vehicle yet – should be collecting it this coming week so will get a good chance to inspect it then regarding what it has and has not got. Again many thanks

Many thanks for your reply and that great information. It's actually a carb fuelled factory V8. Regarding the VIN references you kindly supplied are these the two letters in front of the individual chassis number? In which case mine is GA which puts it quite a bit earlier I expect

Good information, many thanks

Hi all, apologies if this has already been discussed many times but I can't seem to find anything. After some search I found a 1990 V8 Discovery 1 and it is coming with only one key. Looking on the net at what to do to find a second one there is confusing information about having to program a...

This has probably been answered before but I'm struggling to find a previous post for the question I would like to ask. I have a D2, 2001, which was converted to springs before I bought it. These are giving a standard ride height and I would like to get 2 inches more lift without doing any big...

This is a total 'longshot' but I would love to track down the Defender I used to own when my children were young - it is still identifiable on the DVLA website so it must be somewhere! If anybody knows I would love to hear

Thanks for all the responses – some good advice in there, I don't have high expectations for the test drive but let's see!

Hi all, I have had many Land Rovers over the years including Series with standard four-cylinder petrol engines and Defender and Discovery with 2.5 turbocharged. I am now looking at a 90 with the 2.5 normally aspirated diesel – what should I expect on a test drive? Is this going to be really slow...

My D2 is not regularly used and after a couple of weeks of not having opened doors or started it the remote is not operating correctly. It will occasionally work and the doors will lock or unlock but only very occasionally – I have put new batteries in the key fobs. The vehicle battery is fully...

Hi, I'm looking for a good solid Lightweight that is preferably mechanically sound but perhaps needs some work on it. If there is someone with a V8 conversion out there I would be particularly interested but quite happy with the standard engine as I expect that's going to be the majority...
