unfortunately that manual doesn't have any wiring diagrams or pin outs for the alarm controllers. Thanks Dave

Hi Does anybody have a pin out for the Lucas 17 vt alarm unit or the alarm/central locking wiring diagram for the early Discovery 300tdi. Last night mine went crazy by randomly flashing the lights making the central locking go all funny, so what i'm going to do is replace it with an after market alarm. If someone does have it can you send it to me in a message as we don't want anybody knowing it. Thanks Dave

Hi i just pulled my gearbox (lt77) out of my disco due to a small error when putting the 4.6 in and me forgetting to put the bush in the end of the crank, so when I put my foot on the clutch it made a bad sound. Now with the gearbox out I noticed I had play in the input shaft and I would just like to know if that is normal or is it time for a rebuild. Thanks Dave Here's a YouTube link

Hi all Long shot but does anybody have a MS2 base map for a 4.6 gems engine? I don't really want to spend and evening putting one together if someone have something to start off with. Thanks Dave

Hi I've having trouble finding a power steering pipe for me 300. Basically I had a 3.5 v8 (v-belt) in the disco and to pipe from the pump to the steering box doesn't reach the pump on the 4.6 (serp belt) Is there a pipe that would work that is off the shelf or will it be easier for me to make one up my self. Thanks Dave

Thanks guys I had a little skim through and saw most of my questions had been answered in the post. I'll give it a proper read when a get a spare half hour. Cheers Dave

Hi So I have a 95 Disco 1 which is currently running (used to run) 3.5 V-belt V8 with megasquirt I have now got myself a 4.6 gems v8 from a RR which I am going to be swapping over. The few questions I have about doing the swap is:- 1. The 4.6 has the thermostat in the bottom rad hose where the 3.5 has it in the top. Am I right in thinking I could do away with the remote stat in the bottom hose, run the normal disco hose and fit the stat in the top hose take off by using the old 3.5 thermostat housing?? 2.The 4.6 has two hose (which have been cut) coming from the oil filter housing/pump which I think are for an oil cooler, the 3.5 has never had an oil cooler but the rad has four connections on it. Would I be right in thinking a can buy a set of new pipes and connect them to the rads oil cooler? 3. As the power steering pump is mounted differently it doesn't look like the power steering hoses will fit on the serp pump. Do I need to change the hose to a later serp type hose or can the v-belt type hoses still work? That all I can think to ask at the moment. Thanks Dave

Hi all. I'm making a new fuel system for my V8 Discovery using braided hoses and -An fittings but I'm having trouble finding out what fittings are used for the inlet and outlet on the normal petrol fuel filter. If someone has the answer it will be great and also saves me buying a few different fittings to get the right ones. Thanks Dave

Hello to all. I'm looking into buying a wideband lamba kit to tune the MS better than a stock sensor could. In past I have used AEM's uego kit as well as the kits available from innovative. So which kits do others use and how well do they work with MS Thanks Dave

Hi You problem sounds almost the same as what I had. It turned out to be the Lamba sensor was overheating which then sent the ecu a signal telling it that it was running rich, the ecu responded by leaning out the fuel mixture to the point that the injectors were only just opening. Resulting in a the engine stopping and not restarting until the Lamba sensor had cooled. I swapped the sensor and it hasn't played up at all now (touch wood) Dave

Yer was going to do that but i'll have to fake an overheat lol

Hi to all. Right here is what happens, when i'm doing some off roading and the engine gets a little bit warm (but not over heating) the engine starts to misfire and then slowly dies and wont start until the engine has cooled down. Could this be an overheat protection in the ms or could it be something else??? Thanks for you time Dave

The pins are not contaminated which is one of the first things i check as i thought i might of over done it As for the connector it was fully tightened but as i have to unplug it every now and then i have left it just pushed in. Also i would like to add it only does it on start up (as in from ignition off) never from a restart after stalling and never cuts out when the engine is running.

I bet you found out the same way I did. Anyway What he said

Hi Firstly running MS on my v8 has transformed the engine which has made me Only thing that seems to be a bit dodgy is every now and then i'll turn on the cars ignition but i have no fuel pump prime as well as the MS not even turning on.. No amount of switching on and off the ignition will turn it on. I checked all the wires going to and from the MS and see nothing wrong, relays are all working fine as well. The thing that makes it a odd problem is the way to make it all come alive, All i have to do is unplug the looms multi pin connector from the MS ecu and then plug it back in, as soon as i do that its all fine. So if any of you lot have any ideas on how to fix this problem it will be great Thanks Dave
