I miss my Disco

I'd consider buying one without LPG & getting it converted yourself. There are some very poor conversions about, as I'm fast finding out to my cost!!

I've had one two weeks now, Only had the A/C to fix. As well as LPG.. not yet sorted

So do I. It has been away for three weeks now gettings its second egine rebuild in six months!

Regards Stephen

Er, 2nd in 6 months, who did the first one?

:0)

Bought my 96 ES V8i off Ebay for £4300 ready converted and it has not missed a beat!!

I would definitely get a disco over a RR due to the slipped liner problem being much less prone to happen on a 3.9 than any other due to the ECU fuel mapping.

I also have a 300Tdi but that's for sale now due to me never driving it - the sound of the V8 through a custom built stainless exhaust sounds fantastic - and at 28 - 30 Mpg eqiuiv its cheap

Thanks Ged

I'm looking at one that's ready converted, sounds like I need to know who by and then check them out. Hope you get yours sorted soon.

Thanks Staffbull

Actually I prefer the RR so I'll take a look and see but you have worried me a little with this slipped liner business. I suppose there's no pattern to it, nor can you tell when it is likely to happen or better still prevent it?

bigger engines are more prone, ISTR. 3.9 less likely than 4.6, style of fing.

If the disco's are less prone than the rr's then can the rr ecu be changed for or altered to similar to, the disco ecu? thus solving the problem.

that's a good point, and I don't know the answer. The system is nominally the same, AFAIK. 'course, the problem may be to do with other aspects like cooling - I know Sister's BF had loads of problems with cooling on his 3.9 RR, which he solved eventually by removing the aircon radiator - presumably, though, that disables the aircon.
