DiscoClax Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi all, Q1 - Can anyone confirm if the in-tank EFI fuel pump assy used in Disco 1s was the same between the 3.5 and 3.9ltr versions? Mine's a bit "temperamental" and there's a 3.5 one going on eBay at the moment. Q2 - I'm trying to chase down a front driveshaft with a DC joint at the TC-end. Can anyone tell me what they were fitted to and will they bolt straight into a D1 update 3.9a? My Disco's lifted and the front shaft, TC-end UJ has an excessive static angle (rumble, rumble...), plus I want to crank up the caster, which will make this worse. Thanks in advance for your words of sage counsel Best Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 double carden propshaft(Driveshaft) are fitted to Series 2 discoveries you'll need the TC flange too but check on clearance with the exhaust downpipes because I think you may be short on space with a V8 pics on a defender props same length: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume from your reply that all variants of D2 had the DC shaft and length is OK? Exhaust shouldn't be a problem as I have custom pipework well-away from the shaft (no cross-over, twin pipes right through), and no cats (Oz models are cat-free, low-comp). Is the shaft a fairly straightforward swap, or are special tools, etc required? I've got all of the basic tools (and torque wrench, etc), but nothing exotic and no access to hoist, etc at this time. Is there a collapsible spacer or anything I need to replace as well, or do I just swap the flange and torque to spec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 All variants of the D2 have the double cardan shaft but a V8 one is a different part no to a Td5 one, though what the difference is I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoClax Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 FYI - To answer my own question... I've done some digging and it seems that all of the EFI fuel pump sender units are effectively the same between 3.5 and 3.9 up to chassis# MA140197. P/n PRC9409 (and PRC9668, now serviced with 9409). Hope that's right as I've just bought one out of an 1992 EFI 3.5 for mine off eBay The carby ones have a different unit (PRC7128), but I don't think they were sold in Oz anyway? Now I just need to get the courage up to do battle with my auxilliary fuel tank... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
