Where did you get this publication from?

I'm not a chemist or a material expert, but the hose deteriorates due to pressure and temperature. So, if it's sitting in a bag on a shelf in a garage or warehouse, has it deteriorated? Of course, if it's been dried out, then that's a different story, but stuck in a bag on a shelf...

Sounds like the cheapest as well. Thanks - I would not have tried this. Matt

Wouldn't "loosening things up" cause more blow by? With 127K miles on it Im thinking she has settled in with gunk proving key "assistance". Or is that your goal - clean out the gunk and then see how bad it is to confirm my fears of pulling the engine out?

Yes - new plugs and new wires, new oil, new filters. The ignition coils are new from the PO. Been running injector cleaner but not getting the higher octane since high compression and Land Rover are not synonymous. But I will run a couple of tanks through it and see what happens. She is...

Thanks for expanding on that - So you pulled the engine out I take it. I posted a question about my cylinder 7 problem child that I have - if you could weigh in on it I would appreciate it. Cheers -

The Rolling Restoration on my '97 4.0L SE7 has shown me that cylinder 7 seems to be the problem child. - The compression test was 138 dry and 155 wet which was 10psi less than the next nearest - Large amount of carbon / oil in this cyl. - Cat 1 / Sensor 1 has a consistent high reading -...

So that x2 engines or put another way about $4K per rebuild - correct? And of course free labor - LOL. So that is just doing the heads - no new valves, springs, cam shaft, timing chain etc etc....?

I have the 3rd Edition of the D1 manual that I have scanned in - can I upload as normal or do you want to see it first?

Stellar information... Why would this even happen - LOL. Its like they are working against us!

I definitely plan on paying the Land Rover Genuine Parts tax on this job - I am begining to wonder if I should just pay the window guy to do these when he replaces my wind shield (screen). Which on my last Disco was a nightmare to make it stop leaking after the new one was installed -...

I have window gaskets that need to be replaced (not the Alpine windows thankful) so the rear quarter and the rear window. How easy are these to do? Any tricks other than warming up the gaskets in soapy water - seems like this would be a 2 person project but interested in any tips and tricks...

Damn - mine is only 28 years strong! Just finished watching Fear the Walking Dead - and they had a Range Rover about midway through the series but the final shot of this apocalyptic series was a DII driving off with a fully loaded roof rack to make a better future into the sunset on an empty...

My rule of thumb - which no one asked for - If a structural member is not needed then the manufacturer isn't going to install it for "shits & giggles". With all due respect of the expertise on this site - somebody somewhere in the process of designing this vehicle, who had a bunch of schooling...

The one thing I have never rebuild on my Series projects was the differential. Is new or used out of the question? Given all these LS swaps in Defenders these "should" be cheap and are the same diffs in Disco's. We should also be drowning in 300Tdi engines as well - LOL.
