Hi, Sorry of no help, but that's a good looking 200Tdi miktdish is correct in that HD clutches bring out issues in the drivetrain. LOF themselves advise against fitting a HD clutch if your drivetrain (especially the gearbox) isn't in tip top shape. By "clutch engaged" do you mean clutch pedal...

It's been about 200 miles since I changed the engine oil and it still shows golden on the dipstick. Is it doing its job? I've changed oils on many engines and I've never seen this before. I have to say that during the change, I did take the sump off to reseal it and washed it as well, but...

Hi, I've been trying to find the cause of my poor starting for a long while. I didn't even know the Discovery has a sedimenter. I just checked and it's still there. I have now narrowed down the issue to it either air being sucked in at the leak off pipes, or at the sedimenter. My question is...

Yes, that's the same place on mine. I'll see how I can botch it and if it helps.

I unscrewed and tightened the filter back. Problem is still there. It makes sense since I bought the car with this problem and I changed the filter at some point after, but the issue never disappeared. I also changed the copper washers on the supply pipe from the filter housing to the IP...

That was my first thought when I got the car, I replaced the lift pump with a Delphi one, again following Mike's advice regarding the spacing between pump and engine block. I noticed the old one was working perfectly though, so I kept it. I don't know if it does its job when fitted, as with...

Oh, another thing: When it's cold outside (-10 to -20), and I have to put quite a bit of work with the engine (with the oils in the drivetrain being butter most likely), the engine tends to want to die if it's not quite at operating temp. I thought this was the ip leak, but it must be the...

Good morning, My leak was the main seal in the rear of the pump, the big o-ring. I was scared to do it, but it started pouring recently, and my car was leaving a trail at work and at home, so I had to try and do it following Mike's tutorial (from Canada). I managed to do it easily in situ. I...

Hello, I recently fixed a leak on my Bosch VE injection pump, but I think I still have a leak that leads to my engine starting poorly. When I turn the engine off, under the bonnet, somewhere in the injection pump/lift pump/injectors area I can hear air sucking in, followed by gulping in the...

Have you had them fitted on your old but good pinion and crown wheel or got new ones or got the HD ones that Ashcrofts sell for ~200 quid?

Hi all, I'm planning to rebuild a front diff off a Defender, but fit a LS Ashcroft's core in. Previous owner thought it would be a good idea to pack the axle with grease (or maybe it's just ancient oil?) and as a result, three bearings were in bits. The casing and crownwheel look good, but I...

Tomorrow I'll let the car running with the door open for 15+ minutes to see if it builds up enough pressure. At the last workshop I worked at the compressor must have worked at around 8 bar, but if I tried, I could stop the airflow with a finger at the tip of the airline. How hard is our EAS...

Compressor is running, but if I try hard enough I am more or less able to stop the airflow. There are currently no faults on Nanocom for the EAS.

Hi all, The air suspension dropped completely this morning on this P38 2.5dse auto from 1999. I've been trying all the tricks in the nanocom, but I can't get it to raise back. Compressor is on, according to nanocom. I just accidentally noticed that the battery voltage is 13V at best with the...

Oh okay so they are not at all compatible then. Thanks for the info!

How much welding would it take to fit a Salisbury axle onto a Discovery 1 and are the brackets needed readily available or do they need fabricating at home? When did the diff ratio change to 1:3.54? Can the ring and pinion be bought new in the correct ratio or do they need sourcing from a...

A bit of an update. I looked it up in rave, no mention of the depth the TC should be sitting at. From ashcrofts they did not say. I found a list online with different serial numbers for ZF4HP22 gearboxes and the depth of the TC. My number was not on the list, however the current depth - 83mm -...

That's odd, I have two kinds, one that is flat, and one that is conical. The flat ones won't even catch on the thread. The conical ones do, but I don't feel like they are right. I am subjective I must admit, as it isn't my car or my rims, just helping a family member and I don't know for sure...

Yes, I meant flywheel, but I wasn't sure they also call it that for automatic vehicles!

Oh my lord, I might have to pull the gearbox out... although it would be much easier for me to pull the engine back out since everything is still disconnected and double check that way. I will have to check in the manual what the distance between the TC face and front of the bellhousing should...
