JensM Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I`m currently running a what I have believed to be a slightly modified 92 Discovery (2" britpart lift, and a Kenlow fan system),with an at least partially known history from the owner before me. I haven't looked to closely at it, but have more or less done normally servicing two times a year, late April and ditto September, oilchange, lubing et al and it have not let me down. The last week, I`ve done some repairs (right side front axle, all four joints et al) after several failures in the Norwegian equivalent to the MOT , and while tinkering about, found a major intercooler in front of the OEM rad. This was a suprise for me, and points to other mechanical tweaks that may be in the shades of history of the car. My question is, how can I find a status as to what is done or not done, as to engine tweaks, preferably DIY ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fender1234 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 take the four screws off the top of the injector pump and see if the diaphragm has been turned. check the boost pressure with a guage to see if its been boosted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest noggy Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Or, look on the back of the pump you should fine a 10mm bolt with a 13mm lock nut, take this out (YOU MUST REMEMBER HOW MANY TURNS IT WAS TO TAKE THIS OUT(as this affects the fuelling even down to a quarter of a turn)) if it has a plastic collar with a small metal collar underneath its not been tampered with, if they are removed its been turned up. The VERY easy way! Also ontop the injector pump i believe 4 screws fender mentions should have yellow lines on (?) if these are lined up etc it CAN (not always) show if its been removed before.

doda456 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 This may be a slighlrt bizzare comment, but are you sure its the intercooler and not the aircon radiator? Just thought i would mention in case you go off barking up the wrong tree. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensM Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 No traces of any aircon elsewhere in the car, but will check anyhow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
