Ok, so it looks as though I will keep my existing 145,000 mile Discovery and I am now turning into a bit more of a mechanic than expected. Needs must....
1995 V8i 3.9 I have just replaced all the plugs and took the opportunity to compression test each cylinder. I did not do it quite according to the book but took one plug out at a time (leaving the others in) and spun the engine for about 10 seconds with the coil disconected and the accelerator depressed. Results were reasonably consistent between 165 and 170 throughout. Is this good, bad or average? I am a bit confused by my Haynes manual as it suggests two different typical compression results for the 3.9, one for the low compression version and one for the high compression version. How can I tell which engine I have (low comp or high comp).Thank you
