I have done the checks and all seems fine, I looked at loads - I mean loads and the MOT history is a great tool to see if people are telling white lies. Its in pretty good nick for its age. Starts on the button and pulls like a train If the boss is agreeable I may keep it ;-)

Got this one so I can take my time with the V8. more Pics when I get it...

More pics of rust, holes, very bad welding and the gas tank is out :-)

Update, sorry been a while but been busy with my college work. Taken the headliner out, cleaned it - messy job on a cold day in January, I used brake cleaner and cotton clothes. Bought some cheap thin carpet and some spray glue today, so this is to be done some time this week. I have got lots of...

I am repairing my V8 D1 at the moment, took one of the front wheels to have puncture fixed. Received new centre pipe which replaces centre box, new exhaust rubbers, fuel filter and some exhaust gaskets. Oh and fired it up - sounds great

OK I have copied some of my intro to repairing my V8 Discovery, its a 1995 model, I'm guessing billy basic model as no electric seats etc. well the beast fires up great every day :) Sounds Great as there is no centre box. I have taken the sill covers off and the sills are'nt too bad, offside...

Hi, Do you think the ECU is learning to adapt to the changes that have been made, I had similar with the new MAF installed on my V8, my ECU mate was logging it as a fault but engine was running fine, after a few restarts I cleared the fault and logged fault has not reappeared. Just a thought Ian

Decided to keep the V8. I got the engine running sweet about 3 months back, a combination of rebuilding the dizzie, new stepper motor and kept the new MAF sensor on. The ECU mate I bought off ebay has been great as I was able to 'tune' the stepper and got it ticking over perfect. The MAF was...

Hi all, been a while since ive been on here. Decided to keep the V8. I got the engine running sweet about 3 months back, a combination of rebuilding the dizzie, new stepper motor and kept the new MAF sensor on.

Hi, I know the 50 post rule for selling, could I ask permission to put my Discovery up for sale, I cannot afford to insure the V8 as im off to college, its up and running great, took some time and replaced a few parts, felt great getting it running well, Ta Ian

I think it could be viable if I was stripping out the interior etc, so think I will go with fixing my existing seats. Ian

Many thanks for that, I'll ask the seller to trace back where the seat looms join main loom, I'll guess the wiring would go to the switch panel but mine still won't have feed the non existent switch panel. Ball ache I think. Ta Ian

Hi All, As I now have the beast running I decided to get some better seats, well got some but they are electric powered and my Discovery has normal seats. Question; do Discovery's have the wiring block in place to plug in powered seats? Ta Ian

Update, I decided; can the dizzie be fixed - dismantled - yes with a bit of patience, I found the springs were disconnected, This was the rattling sound I heard when engine running, cleaned it all up, reassembled. going to buy a vac advance unit and new vac pipe next. Ian

Hi All, Progress has been made with the Monster. New Stepper motor fitted. New battery fitted. I bought an ECU mate off Ebay which has helped. Engine runs great. The dizzie is bust as I thought, when I rev up the engine the rotor arm sticks and will not run well. So next step new dizzie, coil...

As I have mentioned I have fitted a new one, the other checks TPS, sensors, I will do Sunday morning. I have got the ECU out so can do the checks, been busy with work.
