I'd agree, mine handled like a boat on the original shocks so I replaced them with some Terrafirma units, and while they're stiffer the ride is still twice as good as my Disco 2 and it handles really well, how long they last is another story, I like a moron fitted the +2 shocks instead of the stock length ones, that'll be a lesson of not to order on your phone!!

They'll be swapped out in new year to some better suited ones, maybe a set of Koni's

I had mine Tornado chipped around a week ago, she does go differently since the map, much like everything these days it is tuned from factory for emissions etc.

With the chip it does go better.

Spent today towing equipment back to the yard in preparation for lockdown, quite a few tractors and farm equipment that needs repairs, it seems to have flooded in like nobodies business!

Probably due to the lockdown that is coming

Anyhoo the EAS seems to be dialled, it is performing faultlessly, hopefully i'll be able to depend on her this winter!

As a treat I put £80 of Shell super unleaded in her, Next weeks battle will be the LPG if I get any time to work on her!

I bought mine off of Hamazon..

Quite quick delivery too, X8R

129,000 miles today, only done around 4500 since the MOT!

Need to grow a pair of bollix and give her a proper run, always fancied going to the Europe..

Maybe............................................

in other news i came out of work to find one of my colleagues had written this on me wheel!

Nice chap..

I spied a 1990 Ford F250 in Texas that had such a rotten cab when you sat inside the seat would sink through the non existent floor, it was a deathtrap on wheels and he used it as a daily!!

Brake lines were thinner than a lepers pubes too

I'd love to know how many car accidents in America are caused by lack lustre safety regulations...

some areas of America are more reasonable lol

Any more progress to share David?

It definitely does!

I took mine in after 2yrs sitting and it passed with 2 balljoint covers being advised

Hopefully i'm lucky this march when its due again!!!

Yanking it on while moving wouldn't do the UJ's much good i'd of thought!

Still quite tough though!

The handbrake in on the back of the transfer box.

What a stupid twat..

How is this bloke a tester?

My MOT man put the handbrake on and selects drive in the car park, if it can hold the car while in gear at idle its fine..

Same for my Discovery, lever travel too is a good indicator.

James Taylor would know for sure.

Try emailing the bloke i'm PM you his email address.

If the Oil seal on the compressor side of the Turbo has failed I'd refrain from driving it, sounds like it needs a new boost maker ;)

I added the list of stuff I've done to mine in the "notes" section of my profile.

"cough"

lol

Still wouldn't have any other car though so it's worth it to me, smiles per gallon!

Whoops!

A waterproof enclosure for that ECU is on the cards I'm guessing!! lol

Is The Turbo still acting up?

Sounds like the front one!

I've cleaned out the plunger thing in the tank..

Thanks!

Erm.

When it is faulting It switches over for around 3seconds then switches back, lack or clarification in OP Sorry!

I have no cable.

In fact I haven't a clue when the ECU is for the gas, i guess it is buried behind something!

P38 doesn't need undertrays i'd remove 'em.

If he considers them likely to come adrift and fly from under the vehicle at speed he could fail it.

I've unplugged this from behind the dash too...

Whatever it is, doesn't stop it running on LPG...

Hiya Chaps

since owning the car she's had issues with LPG it cuts in "when it feels like it" and she runs superb on the stuff..

However the issue is the Majority of the time she doesn't want to switch over, the button on my dash just flashes like a MOFO..

It cut in a few days ago for an entire journey up the M5 I happened to look over at the LPG and it had switched over.

For the first time in ages!

I've already shorted the temp sensor on the Reducer and I've checked the coil/solenoid thing on the tank, the only one I haven't look at yet is the one of the reducer...

If i run her on gas I can shut her off to fill up and it'll switch right back over, however if I leave it for over a day it is a lottery whether it works or not!!

She does run well on the stuff, i'd argue better than on petrol!

Any ideas?
