If we are all going to be wearing these at Billing then I had better order one too. 1 x Large please. Ivan

Good idea Les. I'll be up for that. Ivan

For the gauge I would simply replace it with a Racetech version. For the oil filter you need a remote oil filter kit. A grown up should be along shortly to point you in the right direction. Ivan

Nice pics. I rememebr doing that same run when I lived in Adelaide. It was my first experience of sand drivnig and was really fun. Not 100% sure but I think the flag poles are just sand markers. The idea being that when going through the dunes other people can see you coming. Ivan

Just found this on the net. Could be ideal for GPS and Mapping. Ivan

The one on the right is for ABS. The ABS sensor uses the splines to determine whats happening (don't know a lot about how ABS works ) Ivan

Year of build and model of Discovery would help. I think most 300 Series came with alarm/immobiliser built in in which case just tell them it's a factory fitted one. Ivan

Thanks to all who replied. Problem was the stepper motor. When I took it out I tried to move the littel plunger and it was sticking badly. Gave it a clean up in some brake cleaner and it now moves freely. Car seems to run a bit smoother as well. P*ss*d off the neighbours when I took it for a run down the high street at full throttle. Thnx for the help and info. Ivan

Spare wheel carrier came from Paddocks. Probably a WVH make sold by them. Ivan

Sorry about the cats. Mucked up the attachments bit and couldn't delete them. Ivan

Pictures as promised. Ivan

I have fitted them on my 90 with a swing away spare wheel carrier and it's not a problem. I now have twin rear fog lights and twin rear reversing lights. I'll take a piccy over the weekend if you want to see what they look like. Ivan

Had a similar thing in my 90 a year ago. I was convinced the clutch was shot due to the noise it kept making when I changed gear. The noise sounded just like it was coming from the belhousing. Turned out to be a duff front UJ. Changed both front UJ's and no more strange noises. HTH Ivan

To be honest I don't see what all the fuss is about. Basically it's an orange 2002 Discovery with a roof rack and lights. Nice engine though. Ivan

You can download manuals from here HTH Ivan

Cheers BBC I'll give it a spray of WD40 when I get home tonight. If that fails I'll take off the stepper motor and give it a clean. Thnx Ivan

Sorry forgot to mention it's hotwire (Lucus 14cux I think). I do intend going the MS and EDIS route later this year when I have enough courage/pennies Ivan

Quick question. My 1991 V8i Discovery starts and runs fine. However, I have not been able to set the tickover rpm correctly. When it first starts it ticks over at about 1100 to 1200 rpm. Once warm it drops to about 750 rpm (which is what it should be). However, after driving for a short while it's back up to 1100 to 1200 rpm. As a quick test I disconnected the plug to the AFM and it did not make any difference at all. Does this mean my AFM is shot ? I have tried adjusting the idle using the alan bolt on top of the lpenum chanber which does drop it a little but I can't get it any lower. TIA Ivan

From memory you need to supply an ignition switched 12v feed to one side of the dash light. The other side goes to the alternator. What happens is, when you switch the engine on the wire from the alternaotr provides an earth to the bulb thus illuminating the bulb. When the engine is running the wire from the alternaotr goes to 12v thus putting out the dash light. HTH Ivan

Some good pictures of a bobbed Disco here. Ivan

Using the above formula, my Discovovery does about 400Kms per tank (80 Ltrs) which is around 20Ltrs per 100Km. This gives me a value of 480 gramms per KM. Ivan

And if they have keep quiet or Robbing B*stard Gordon will be after us. Ivan

This wouldn't happen to be a new Prestolite starter motor would it ? I have just had to replace 2 brand new ones on my 3.5V8i. First one packed up after about 6 weeks, second one only lasted 3 weeks. I have just had a new Bosch one fitted and, hopefully, it will have sorted the problem. My problem started with the starter motor spinning but not engaging the flywheel. Then it would not even spin at all. When I took it back the guy in the parts department told me he had been having trouble with new Prestolite Starter motors. HTH Ivan

You could also try applying some heat. Rgds Ivan
