    Coming soon to a D1 near you........

    If you need any help with 300Tdi specifics you could always log onto www.aulro.com That is an Aussie site and we have both the V8 and Tdi auto and manuals down here in vast quantities. Interesting point though is that I don't think anyone here would convert to the 300Tdi for anything other...

    Display unit on board diagnostic module PRC 7067

    Thanks Robert. I pulled the EFI fuse this morning and it displayed 02 to show the ECU had been reset. That cleared next start and the display is not showing any more codes so all is well. Even if it only shows the one code then that is one more than I could read before. So I don't mind...

    Display unit on board diagnostic module PRC 7067

    Hi all. Back again. I've got the unit now and have fitted it to my Disco1. Can anyone tell me the procedure to reset the codes. I've been trying to do this but it has no effect. http://www.britishv8.org/Articles/Rover-14CUX-EFI.htm When I first connected it up the screen was blank and...

    Clacking on startup

    Could be worn hydraulic lifters? Losing pressure overnight and then clacking until they regain pressure.

    rotoflex conversion spacer

    The diff with the 4 bolt flange will have the spacer in it won't it? It has to either have the spacer or the flange with the built in spacer (I think the longer flange (built in spacer) is after market only).

    Removing cats for fuel economy?

    No Australian Discovery's had cats until 1999 (Disco2). Not sure about Range Rovers but possibly 1995 (with the P38). I think 4wds were considered commercial vehicles back then so they did not have to comply with passenger vehicle emmission tests or safety tests. So there are plenty of them...

    Opinions or snide remarks please

    The opposite here. A 110 is about $56k and an import F150 is over $100k. They only import the flashy models though.

    Opinions or snide remarks please

    Well maybe three Defender 130s :) I agree though. It came to a point where I just didn't want to take one of the F250s because I knew it would give me trouble. So I'd take my own 94 Discovery instead. The Jap utes down here do just keep going. My previous vehicle was a 97 Holden Rodeo...

    Opinions or snide remarks please

    I would never put the Hilux in the same bracket as the F150 etc. The Hilux only has a 4 litre V6 and 3 litre 4 cylinder turbo diesel. No doubt the Hilux is well built but less powerful and smaller than the F150 type ute. We had a 2004 and 2005 F250 in our family business in Australia. We got...

    Removing cats for fuel economy?

    This is from the RAVE CD. There isn't much difference. I left the diesel info in there just in case anyone is interested. I wonder if anyone has gotten the claimed constant speed figures? FUEL CONSUMPTION 300Tdi non-catalyst models .....Manual .............Automatic Simulated urban cycle...

    Removing cats for fuel economy?

    Across the ditch here in Australia our Disco1s never had catalytic convertors or oxygen sensors. We had an open loop system. I recently added the oxygen sensors and changed the tune resistor to the US tune. Didn't add cats though. The user manual says you will get better fuel economy without...

    Display unit on board diagnostic module PRC 7067

    Hi guys, I'm after one of these display modules for the 14CUX EFI system. http://www.discoweb.org/forums/showthread.php?p=541872#post541872 I have heard that they were fitted in the US in Range Rovers but did they come in Discoverys as well? Were they an optional extra or standard? They...

    Display unit on board diagnostic module PRC 7067

    Hi all, I'm after one of these on board diagnostic modules. I believe they were a factory fit in the 14CUX EFI Range Rovers and possibly Discoverys in the US. If someone has one they want to sell and are happy to post it to either Australia or Seattle then send me a PM. Thanks.
