Yes indeed. I got talking to GlobalHead and he mentioned you subscribed to this Forum. Typical though, I blew out a tyre on the trailer about two miles later. I had no spare (thwack!) I could have done with some friendly assistance then but thats just the way things go. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise at all else I would have helped if I could... I thought you'd stopped to strap it down a bit more - you should have asked! I was too busy trying to get home and go pub to notice - apologies. It was anight for dodgy tres - my left rear was deflating which is why I stopped (for air).

It was anight for dodgy tres - my left rear was deflating which is why I stopped (for air). Hi Globalhead Yes I had stopped to restrap the motor but then noticed the soft tyre after you left. It took the air but destroyed itself a couple of miles further down the road. Luckily I had just slowed down to about 20mph in a queue of traffic when it went so it wasn't anything too dramatic. I phoned Mrs Rocket and she brought out the spare (eventually...........) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 I've got slightly conflicting info...Prefix 24D, Suffix D 3.5 V8 PI H/C manual 1990> Discovery Cheers, Matt Matt that is very interesting because that is exactly what it is supposed to be (if PI means EFi)i.e. a J plate Manual Efi Disco but according to the Specialist website prefix 24D indicates a Range Rover origin so I was begining to wonder what I'd got. It doesn't really matter but I was just curious. What was the source of your info? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Neale Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Matt that is very interesting because that is exactly what it is supposed to be (if PI means EFi)i.e. a J plate Manual Efi Disco but according to the Specialist website prefix 24D indicates a Range Rover origin so I was begining to wonder what I'd got. It doesn't really matter but I was just curious. What was the source of your info?Cheers Just to clarify : 24D= Range Rover Classic / Discovery - the "D" suffix after the engine number (24D xxxxxxxx D ) indicates the spec - as I detailed above.
