The outer door panel on the exposed hinge is notched around the hinge and I suspect but don't know for sure that the hinge mountings on the door itself will be different to accomodate the different hinges.

Filip I had the AA check the voltages on the pedal and all registered fine. On one occasion they sprayed solvent cleander on the ECU plug and ECU which cured the problem for a couple of hours.

Dave Starter solinoid is a common issue on my Discovery 2. Regularly I have crawled under to twiddle with the ignition wire. I have bought a rebulid kit which works until the next time.

Phil Thanks that is useful and will replace that next weekend regardless. There does appear to be an oil track down the face of the oil pump.

Yes the pulley was back on but the oil is still coming out of the front. Not as bad as before. The oil is a steady flow and certainly looks like it is coming from the front pulley however any photos of the oil rings would be appreciated.

Got a new seal and it didn't change a thing. However I did need to take the seal out after I had fitted it so is it possible that I have damaged the new seal? The oil litterally flows out the end of the crank shaft. To make sure that was where the leak was coming from I started the engine with the bottom pulley removed. Was surprised how easy the job to change the seal was.

Getting this car back on the road has/is a nightmare but am getting close to the end. Today when I fired it up oil was litterally pouring out of the front of the engine. Given the location I suspect the front cover on the crank case. I am told this is an easy fix and just need really to remove the bottom pulley. Does anyone know what the part number or description of the seal is please?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The last two days I have been sitting on a wet seat so you don't need to tell me about it.

No that is the purpose of the sunroof.

I had an issue with the throttle pedal. Even after I replaced it it still caused a problem. I had to get my local independent to put it on the computer but it still baffled him until our of frustration he changed the throttle pedal and it worked fine and has done since.

The Independent said he could do it. Try your local Indy and see. He showed me the price on his computer. I know also there are spare keys cut at the point of manufacture these are in storage and just need coded with the EKA code. This I was told by the Indy but confirmed yesterday by an auto locksmith who was replaing my Disco key after I lost it. .

Define expensive? I think it was a little short of £200.00 which for a Range Rover is very reasonable.

I don't think you can change the lock over but an independent told me that LR can cut a new lock for your key

Actually Paul when I went to fit it on the handle I had put on the car as a temporary fix had a perfect drivers door handle but the lock was wrong so I was able to take the handle off and put it on my old lock. Am currently working my way through major and minor issues so should have my car on the road this week. Hopefully then be able to take it to the British Grand Prix.

Been staring at this for a number of years. The door handle on my P38 broke, litterally pulled off the car when I tried to open it. Spent some time this morning and realised just haw easy it was to fix. The plastic pin on the handle which bears on the camb had worn away to a point. I simply drilled through it and put a hex bolt and a couple of nuts on it to secure it in the correct place.

Had this when I was taking mine for it's MOT a few years ago, the RR was on a trailer, not long after there was a bang and the transfer box blew. Fortunately just changed cars and continued my journey.

Thanks guys. After all that I have been through I waas really dreading turning the key and nothing happening. Now just need to sort the props, fix an exhaust leak and an air spring and off we go to the MOT. Then get some miles on it before a trip to Europe.

And it fired up on the button.

Ozzy I have the engine and box out and I did seriously thing about putting them back in together and could see the appeal however my engine hoist didn't have the capacity or the reach to allow me to do that. In the end the gearbox wad gently lifted into place using levers and jacks on the floor of my paddock then the V8 was lowered and the suspension raised until it gently slid into place. I total with my ham fistedness I had the engine in and out about 8 times until I was happy that everything was as it sould be. Am still in the process of final connections but expect to be finished by the end of the week.

Took the box out and it wouldn't go in vertically, got so far and seemed to stick so bought a second hand gearbox from Ebay with the same code. Lifed that into the vertical position and it slipped in easily. When refitting the box the wires I had holding it broke and the torque convertor slipped off, my worst nightmare or so I thought. Sat in the engine bay and a few twists and wiggles and it went back on. That was where I left it yesterday evening. Just went out this evening and the block went in a dream. Tomorrows job is to connect everything back up. Will be well pleased if I can get it running so fingers crossed. Thanks all for your assistance.

Yeee Haaa Finally got the engine in and one bolt at the top of the engine holding it in. In the end it slipped in very neatlyone I have the torque convertor in the correct position. Tiny little movements and no forcing the two went together like a dream. Thnaks to all for your help

Yes me too only mine has the CSK moniker and it is breaking my heart. 😢 Need to find a body shell.

Potentially they are already, hve you not seen what 2 door basket cases are fetching on Ebay lately.
