There is quite a good write-up on this site, on how to do it. I'm thinking of doing something like this myself soon as the fuel filter is so rusty trying to rmove it will undoubtably result in the pipes breaking. http://www.rustylandrovers.com/2017/03/19/discovery-3-9-efi-fuel-line-replacement/

I went for my 1st jab 2 months after my Pulmanory Embolism & no one even asked about my past recent health. I mentioned that I'd had Covid related PE in Jan & they stabbed me anyway with the AZ jab. Had no ill effects so went for my 2nd one at the beginning of the month & no effects from that...

It is possible to do it your self, I have done it with my D1. You will need to strip the barrel down to its componant parts i.e. the wafers. I had a few spare barrels so I nicked the wafers from those too so that I could get a proper match to the key, You just need a little patience to select...

Right, now I tried to do the MFU test, it took about 3 attempts to get the thing to do it. In diag mode 1 - Nothing. Diag 2 Heated rear screen relay energized for 2 seconds Heated front screen energized for 2 seconds - YES Courtesy lights energized for 2 seconds - Yes Dim dip relay energized for...

Thanks, will try this tomorrow. Is it possible to remove the rear fogs from the existing circuit and put them on one of their own or is that just asking for more trouble???

Well tried swapping the relays over, same result:mad: thought I was on to a winner there. Another weird gremlin that's living in my Discovery! If I slowly push the button in until I hear the 'click' the light on the switch comes on & the fogs come on, then if I push it again half way down till...

I'll try that in the morning, thanks Discool

Rear fog lights being a pain now, thought it was the switch changed it but no, still not having it! If you turn on the rear fog lights then want to turn them off they won't switch off, the light on the button goes out, but the lights on the rear stay on. Press the button again & the lights go...

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.
