Hi All... In from another frustrating afternoon.... Aliastel- I will check the electrical connector - don't think I have an issue there- but will check it anyway... AbnMike- the Mallory does not have a condenser, and to the best of my limited knowledge, does not need the ignition amplifier...

Hi guys- Have been away a bit and not much time to fool with the Disco.... what I have done: -Replaced fuel pump- old one as the bottom of the in spec operating range, but replaced it anyway. new pump operates at 33-35 psi, holds pressure at 35+ psi after shut off, and...

Thanks Robert and Jim- Where to get the Rovergauge cable? haven't heard of it before, and do I need software- like Textbook- for my Mac laptop? -Will put the new fuel filter in in the morning to see if the pressure goes up- I suppose there could be a momentary glitch that shuts the injectors...

Hi Gearheads- Haven't posted for a long time as my '95 D1 runs like a top. Owned since new, have had my fair share is issues familiar to many here. 165k miles. Amsoil everywhere. Have over the years replaced battery, fuel pump, temp sensors, MAF sensor, plug wires, et al, as well as the...

Hi- Well, I've reviewed about 400 posts trying to find this problem with no luck.... My D1 remote key fob has started to eat the Cr-2016 batteries like they are potato chips- sometimes lasting about 24 hours before one, always the inboard battery, reads less than 0.0volts. I've gone thru...

robertf Just came back in the house to report, and confirm you are correct.... both the V8 and the 300Tdi have serpentine belts, and the 300Tdi spins clockwise as you look at the engine, the V8 counter-clockwise ( do I have that correct?- I think so....) anyway it won't work... First clue was...

PM- the low noise fan makes sense- after checking with my local autoparts guy to see if he could locate an ERR3439 or equivalent (he could not...), he said most auto fans had odd number blades.... Here are some interchange part numbers for the D1 cooling fan ERR3439: -IMC/URO: 118...

MM3846- Great ideas- how did you do the electric fan override- a simple on/off switch into the circuit direct from the battery maybe? Anybody know the real reason for the odd number of blades? quieter maybe? with the blade spacing for 11 blades, they obviously had to do a lot of extra math to...

Number9- You are correct about the water pump- very unbalanced load, and I just replaced the water pump 9-10 months ago. I have a spare engine to harvest parts off of, but that fan only had 4 remaining blades on it.... I probably will fool with cutting off the tips of opposing two blades to...

1920SF- thanks for the post- I may just have to settle for the stock fan- it's the waiting to get it I don't want to do as it's my only set of wheels at the moment...... As soon as I cranked it up after replacing the idler pulley, putting the belt back on, adding coolant- (lost about 2 liters...

Timmy- I live in the eastern mountains of Arizona... of course, it's an 11 blade fan, so you just can't cut off the opposite blade, smooth the edges like a jet engine, and be on your way. Other than wanting to sell more fans, there must be a reason for odd-number of blades.... Tim

Hi Guys- Didn't find an answer via the search engine, and/or I didn't ask the question correctly.... 1995 D1 3.9liter V8 Got real lucky today- threw the serpentine belt today about a mile from the house. Didn't even know it until I saw some vapors rising- coolant starting to boil/spill out...

Thanks John- will go buy one on ebay... tim

If this question has been asked/answered before, I didn't find it in a search of the forum and/or I didn't phrase the question correctly. Have had my '95 D1 since new- the driver's door latch outside paddle is just about to break off:mad:- it's pot metal so there's no fixing it unless you have...

thanks for the inputs guys, I will check my grounding points for corrosion tomorrow. I now have the habit of slathering all electrical connections with dielectric grease on all my vehicles. Will get back to you with what I find...... Tim
