  1. The engine was swaped from a RRC. From outside there is no visible difference to the 3.9ltr. I even used the 3.9 plenum chamber to keep the appearence.
  2. Oops, agreed, my mistake. We are talking here about a 96 V8i (4.2 liter) GCC Spec - with means basicly a basic model (no code readers etc). Location: Dubai UAE so far away from the States.
  3. Lately my D1(96 Auto) developed a strange behavior. Sometimes it won't start. Starts when cold without issues but sometimes when I stop after a while driving and switch off the engine - e.g. at the gas station - it just won't restart. when I wait a while (ca. 30 min) the car just starts like nothing happened Things that can be excluded are: Ignition switch Starter motor Wires Battery Suspicious for me is the switch in the tranny which prevents starting when the gear selector is not in P or N. This just because it has the same symptoms - you turn the key and nothing happens. Can this switch get moody? Is this part something to maintain (fix) or should I go straight for a replacement? Any other ideas what can cause this trouble.
  4. Agree with kevinr. If you don't intent to wade you might remove the plugs (just the end caps) completely. We have a dry and dusty climate here (Dubai), too. As a result of this the tend to be blocked. Cleaned mine twice within a quarter of a year and at the third time I just left them away and taataaaah no more blocks since a year.
  5. thermostat is checked and working. Removed today the serpentine belt and turned the waterpump pulley by hand...spinned easy - with no remarkable observations. is the only way to check the condition of the pump to pull it out?
  6. Can the water pump in a Disco 1 loose its pumping capabilities partially? Or is it just hopp or topp with these ones. Means it works great or not. Why do I ask? Have the impression that the pumping performance is a bit down. I observed, that the little torrent/fontaine in the overflow canister has weakend. Well could this also explain the slight higher temperatur reading at the gauge??
