bad circuit or ecu
Benny, did you EVER download the rave cd? If you look in workshop manual, fuel system - sfi, descriotion/operation, you can scroll down the pages & they'll tell you about the sensors, what they do, what happens when they fail. The fact you state you went to a DIY site for the diagrams... -

1997 Discovery OBD codes
Have you done anything to sort out the misfire? Plugs, wires? what issue on #8 injector? How often have you changed your oil? Oil pressure sensors aren't known for problems, other than gasket leaking. I used a large wrench on mine to replace gasket luck,greg How many miles on... -

96 disco rough idle and engine dieing
It's my understanding that the DI ECU is adaptive, meaning it resets it operating parameters (within limits) to what it sees from the sensors. If the sensor exceeds those limits (your o2's were missing), it will turn on engine lite and the ECU will try ( for several drive cycles (maybe... -

96 disco rough idle and engine dieing
You might check your injectors for leakage by depressing the test valve on the pass side fuel rail after your truck has been sitting for a few minutes It looks like a tire valve - have a rag handy in case fuel squirts out. I'd check it after 5 mins, if it still has press, then turn the key... -

Land Rover Head Unit
There's several different '97 radio's Mine's an oddball, it uses a small recessed (5)point star - (1) on each side that unscrews. Similiar to some BMW apps. I filed down a pocket screwdriver to unscrew & remove The others are the normal (2) prong the I use (4) peices of solid wire to... -

obd oh how i hate you.
I'm not sure which side, (bank 1, drivers or bank 2, pass), but I'd bet it's got to do with your misfire. It's an open circuit after the cat, I wouldn't rule out the sensor, but I think you need to track down your misfire first. DI or DII? How many miles on plugs & wires? Type plugs... -

shaking 2001 disco
You've got several options, I've got a DI, so I'm exempt. You can sucessfully rebuild yours, (new joints) or replace complete with a heavy-duty. Do a search on DII driveshaft and go with the majority, you're going to get a lot of opinions. I'd rebuild my own, but I have equiptment and... -

OK to use synthetic gear oil for limited slip diff?
I've used the castrol synth 75-90 in my DI for over 5yrs. (and my RR) I think if you read it, it's good for all diffs, including limited slip. Not just for limited slip. luck,greg -

STOP driving, it's probably the front driveshaft, if it goes, it'll commit suicide and take the trans case with it. luck,greg -

98 Discovery Overheating (please help!!!!!)
If you look into the vent plug on top of rad (pass side, while it's running , you should see flow (coolant moving) does the upper hose get hot? Throw the stat in a pan of boiling water - make sure it opens. recheck the routing of the serp belt, I've heard it can be routed & make the... -

Valve tappet noise or knocking when hot
I agree with Mike, the first thing you should do is determine your oil pressure. Heavier oil may raise your oil pressure slightly, but it'll do nothing to reolve sludge. You state the pressure will turn on your oil light & result in lifter tick at idle I can't tell you how satisfying it... -

new plugs now a stumble
Mass or air volume low input --- MAF Do you have a list of the codes? Do you have the rave cd? If not, download the one in my link, then pick your truck -- has codes listed I can't say your maf is O.K. but they (DI MAFs) are more robust than DII Most guys clean them in the manner I... -

Oxygen sensors
They're similiar to spark plug threads, I don't think you'll get a torque wrench on them so just snug them the new ones should have gaskets Careful of crossthread Put anti-seize on the new threads and not a lot, you don't want it on the sensor. luck,greg -

new plugs now a stumble
You can do what you want, but if you read in the rave cd, the MAF has NO default strategy. Once it goes, the engine will not run. I still contend that if you spray it to death (inside) with MAF cleaner, it may work fine. You'll have to give the ECU a few drive cycles to remap, tho'... -

96 discovery 02 nightmares
Everyone's going to yell at me now, but I bought (4) ngk o2's (about $50 ea) five years ago. If you're on the same budget as me--- I had to splice in the wires to the old connectors (solder, shrink tube).(same wiring colors) They've worked great. Once you find your wires, I'd find... -
