I bought my Discovery as a 'doer upper' it had been off the road for 5 years sat in a barn. The engine was the 1st thing I started with & have been maintaining it since. Rebuilt the transfer box, new suspension all round, new swivels, brakes, brake lines, you name it! Its like the 4th...

This was my cam, pitted & the lobes were worn on the edges.....

Yeah, Discool it did save me quite a bit, however the £100 was only for the Cam & followers. Add all the other bits & pieces that I did and it was more than double the £100. But whilst everything was stripped I thought I might as well....

Got all the engine spares from Paddocks https://www.paddockspares.com/parts-and-accessories/land-rover-discovery-1/engine-parts/3-9-litre-v8-efi.html?p=2

I changed the cam in my V8 along with the followers, the price was just over £100 for the parts. Well worth it and the engine is silky smooth & quiet. Must admit I did a lot of other things too like push rods, rockers, timing chain & sprockets and cylinder head gaskets. My car only has 75k on...

Disco1BFG The website for the alarm test / repair is https://www.technozen-electronics.co.uk/land-rover-10as-alarm-ecu-services/ Hope you get sorted soon!

Hello Disco1BFG, Did you ever solve you're flickering light problem??? I'm sorry, I know you added me in to the post but unfortunately COVID struck me down & I've been hospitalised 3 times & the 3rd time due to a Pulmonary Embolism caused by COVID!!!:eek::eek::eek: I did eventually get to the...

How much???

Even cheaper......if they're any good https://www.tawnzax.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=358436

I know looks can be deceiving, but that looks very tidy for the age & mileage, bonnet damage looks minor. Intriguing to see the fuel pipe damage etc... Wonder if it misfired on LPG & had a little fire under the bonnet??

To be honest I took em off with a pair of pliers & tapped the new ones on using a small socket the same diameter, but I was just showing the correct way to do it. If you use pliers you have to be careful not to squeeze them too much otherwise they'll soon become out of shape and be useless.

There is a special tool to remove / replace the seal. They are quite tight to remove and when putting the new ones back on you have to be careful NOT to squash them otherwise they'll leak again. This is the correct tool use, (see below video)

The little blue circular rings go there and like Discool said the springs & collets on top. Piccy always paints a thousand words. Top one with the seals on, bottom one fully built with valves etc.

From memory ......... Discovery 2 ...Security BCU >>>> Transmitters >>>> Programming.

When I rebuilt my 3.9, I did the vaseline trick and I'd say within a few seconds of firing up (no more than 10 secs) the oil pressure light went out.

Found this if its any use? https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/definitive-way-to-remove-heater-matrix-on-discovery-1-300tdi.241448/

Is it a TD5 or v8 petrol??? Might help with the answers?

Here's the video...

There is a video on Youtube in which the turbo is removed from a D3 without removing the body. If the chassis is the same on the Range Rover sport as the D3 I'd say it could be possible (but watching the vid its a very fiddley time consuming process, using modified tools in the process).

Just been reading this post (as I can't do much else with my recent back op) and I saw this interesting video on Youtube about a chap whose D4 had a snapped crank. Surprised it ran:eek::eek::eek: I bet the company who repaired it for him are minted!!!! Looked at their Facebook page, Jeeez they...
