Can't fill up my Rover - Fuel Trickle Valve

[DC97]

My '97 disco I isn't taking fuel - doing some research on the site I've seen this symptom associated with a sticking trickle valve.

I would like to know from anyone who has experience with this any of the following questions - thanks in advance:

a. Once I get the filler neck off - is it possible to clean/repair the existing stuck valve?

b. can a disco II filler neck be installed instead of a disco 1 to take advantage of the updated design with the removable trickle valve - any advantage to this?

c. Is replacement of the filler neck/trickle valve assembly possible for a DIY mechanic with good experience using just jack stands and no lift?

d. does anyone have a digital copy of the section of the manual covering this repair - can't afford the $80 for the paper manual. Just got laid off.

Cheers

There is a TSB [I think] on this. LRNA knows there is a problem but they might not care anymore.
I tried to mod the filler I had as per my tech friends advise. It did shit. I ended up bitching at LRNA & the sent me a new filler neck. Good luck.

The D1 trickle valve is removable. Download the RAVE, do a search for location.
