i had the same problem, my battery would usually last about 2-3 days if I did not use the car, I got an optima red top and its brilliant, there about £110. but it certainly wont go flat on you.

Hi, I got the sealer from the above link but i never used it as I got some new plugs and HT leads and that cured the misfire as 2 of my leads had arced up, I think the block may be slightley pourus as it shows up on and exhuast leak test but it seems to run ok now. The sealer i got looked good...

Well, Ive got in touch with the previuos owner who tells me that some piont the car had serious flood damage and has had a imported replacement chassis by LR

I'll have a look thruogh the history and try and call the previous owners and garges they might know. Thanks for the linkage

Thanks for that link, I entered my chassis number and it comes up as partially unknown and check your typing, otherwise it seems everything is for a North American specifacation DISCCOVERY series 2!!!!!! with a model year of 2002, unknown body, engine, manufacturer and assemlby location. The...

I have been tring to source a new set of HT leads for my 1996 HSE, when giving the chassis code to the LR dealer they said it had not been found on there database and therefore the veihcle is a special use car? Does anyone have a clue about this, The code starts with SABTVR and...

I want to try and flush the coolant on my 1996 HSE to try a block repair liquid. Are there any intructions or links so could see exactley what to do? Thanks

I have'nt got the money to do the job properly at the moment so my thinking is just to see if this makes a diference and temporaily solves the problem. Longterm I should imagine im looking at a complete rebiult short block if i want to keep the car. I really dont want to sell her, best car...

what is a performance box? i take it you dont mean exhuast as you mentioned that above?

yea it would be a shame as the v8 is a beutiful motor, and a big ol tank it certainly shifts, but im wondering if its at all possible, is it just an engine swap or are you talking transmissions, electronics, mountings etc... I've heard a chipped diesel runs quite nicely but its still gotta be...

I've got a 1996 HSE, I work out it costs pretty much 50pence per mile. I do mainly in town driving averaging around the 8.5-9.6 MPG. (and thats carefull driving, never going above 2K rpm). The best i have ever got was 18MPG on a long mototway journey. Does anyone know if its a viable option...
