A little info on it here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/what-have-u-done-on-ur-disco-today.307164/page-270#post-5803530

I’ll take a decent picture, but it does go from a tab on the other side of that one you have marked to the inlet manifold, yes. Just to add to the fun, I’m running a RPi Engineering ignition system (and a big K&N). I am in the process of adding more heatshrink to everywhere to safeguard wires!

Full blown twin, batt setup on the car, and until the belt pinged off, the batts were both seeing 14.1V. 12.7V with the engine off. Here she is… More info here: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/what-have-u-done-on-ur-disco-today.307164/page-270#post-5803530

Here we go… Probably a bit close to the alternator housing, but I pushing it back with my fingers. It appears to move around, without moving the windings. Out of interest, what does the cone with the green tube at the bottom of the picture do? Tube goes to the inlet manifold.

It’s a 3.9l EFi with a serpentine belt running around the water pump, fan, power steering and alternator, so the steering going very heavy was the give away. I turned around and immediately found the belt on the trail, in unmarked condition. Refitted it a couple of times and it leapt straight...

Good question Discool. It left with a diesel engine (as the rad is still TDi) but currently has a 3.9 V8 EFi. It is running an upgraded PSC Motorsports power steering system, which might be causing it Marjon, good call!

Tickover. I have to shift to Neutral and turn the wheels straight to keep the engine running.

You are on hard lock left or right?

Warm welcome Ryan

Warm welcome Notegirl!

TDi or petrol Grace? White smoke is coolant in the engine, so what does the filler cap look like? Any ‘milkshake’? Or the dipstick looking ‘odd’, ie anything more than clean dark oil on it? I know you said it wasn’t like your D2 blowing it’s headgasket, but this could be a smaller, more...

Warm welcome Glenn! I would get some steel rims, the same size and some MT tyres and a portable compressor. Lower those pressures when going properly off road.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Warm welcome Roving.

I have an autobox on a 3.9 EFI v8 Discovery Mk1 with a secondhand looking ‘T’ auto selector (button on driver’s side of the T). I have been given a much better one from a D2 (round head with a button at the front). Before I take the old one off, does anyone know if the D2 version will fit?

There is a land rover picture in that post and the toyotas were to show a little bit of ‘Kenya’…. That is a bit elite-ish against Toyotas, BTDave! Have some love for some fellow off road capable vehicles.

Indeed! Toyotas out for a day… The LR…

Running three sets of sand ladders on it… Good spot, it was originally a TDi and still has that rad in the front. Cheers, plus coupled with the crawler box means it will get through just about anything.

I had to add a Kenyan thread…

Hopefully pasted the first test, and ready to fail all the next ones! Northern Kenya, as my profile should reflect…
