Brand New Maf $389 http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170380712652&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT I bought one of these and no problems at all :lol: This was after spending $1100 over the few years before on 2 Recoed units that packed it in. I was destroyed by LPG back fire.

Surely there must be some one in that area to have a look for
bingrames, as his signature says he's in SA, A long trip for him to make if it's not all kosher? Check for rust or overheated engine etc.

You answered it your self " it's too good to be true" as all things in life if that's the case then it probably isn't. 1st to consider is a Dealer is out to make a profit.... or they wouldn't be in the game. So what would the dealer have got it for in the fist place. $1500? Next no mention of ...

A hell of a lot of rust on the rear bumper, has this one done a lot of beach work?? What you see is only the visible rust, the back floor in the cargo area should be checked to see if it is rusted, I seen pommy mags where there was severe rust behind the front mudguards where the fire wall is. only ...

thanks for the reply, im getting it looked at on saturday, i agree with your reply, i just hope it is an easy fix! do you have to remove the radiator and air con condensor for the repair? thanks, paul You should have enough room to remove the harmonic balancer. without removing the radiator. I did ...

It sounds like the front crankshaft seal is U/S.
Easy fix, pull the pulley off, pull the rubber seal and insert a new one, this can be done with engine in car. Seal is the one in the timing case where the crankshaft comes through.

Also try pressing down on the inertia switch button located behind the washer bottle in the engine bay. It might have tripped, this cuts of the fuel to stop it starting.
Also Is there spark at the plugs when you crank the engine?

I don't know about the 95 but on my 96 disco there is a female plug fiitting just underneath the drivers fuse panel lind outside. , But when I took it in to have an analysis, I saw the mechanic pulled the drivers side kick panel off and plugged it into the plug in there. I think he had a rovacom??

I have a button on the dash of my disco and am wondering what it does as it is not listed in the manual. The button is located under the digital clock lower left of steering wheel and the pic on it looks like a Railway track heading North/South with a skate board parked accross them East/West. It ...

1988 3.5 EFI Flapper ZF Auto, LT230 Rear Maxidrive Drives great in high range never a problem. Hoping someone has come up against this one before heh. This issue started awhile back originally while doing really steep climbs. Has now pregressed to major surging while stopped or nearly stopped in ...

That is great to know.Some of the prices i was quoted for one were that ridiculous i laughed at them. Cheers Yep I know, $1200 for a new one, $550 reco. But I stress the one I purchased is probably Chinese made , but it works a treat, and the QC is very good too! No rough workmanship.And ...

Just thought I'd pass on this. My 5am Maf was stuffed, and I've been down the Reco way a couple of times but at $550 a pop and a couple of back fires in the LPG ruining them it gets expensive. I ended up looking on ebay and found a guy in UK that has new ones for $136 AUD delivered! yep thats right ...

Rovernaut was heads off or what did you do? Thanks Claude. I took heads off , had the heads pressure tested, heads rebuilt, faced etc. new stem seals New head gaskets, head bolts, cost me all up about $1100 with me pulling the heads off and the reinstallation. Instant power gains, drivers like new ...

I had it dynoed and the fuel mix and timing needed minor adjustments and all electrical showed good. then on the way home did it again under load. Thanks Claude. I recently had the same symptoms, tried all what you have done and still no good. Turned out intermittent sticking of the exhaust valves ...

I have a post update D1 with a knackered vacuum pump. Does anyone know if these can be rebuilt? Thanks, Sean. Why rebuilt? try the wreckers should be able to get one at a reasonable $ you could email a seller on Ebay call bundalene, I've bought stuff from him he's reasonable and is always wrecking ...

I took it in and gave the guys at work a look this morning and they found another dry joint on the board. All fixed now, and I found tonight when I put it back together that the nylon wheel in the track on the passenger rear window's broken. Oh well, at least they go up and down now. Mate, I posted ...

You could try and by pass the switch at the console and see if they work. If this switch is dicky as it is to prevent rear window operation.
It would be unusual for both rear motors to play up.
or borrow a working Window ECU and see if it fixes the problem

Ditto as Dragonwagon said, mine also, and it was the exact solder join as per the link pics.
Hardest job is getting the plug off the window ECU, the rest is easy

I heard of someone replacing it with some modifcation to a Magna alt. But remember, Landies run the Tacho off the Alt

4WDs in Middleborough road Blackburn have them.
There about $5- $8 each from memory.
Oh, didn't realise the link on previous post was the same mob

To adjust base idle on a 3.9 EFi, first remove the plug on the top throttle body/plenum chamber. It's near the accelorator cable conection area. Under the plug there is a grub screw . Use an allen key to screw it. To set the base idle, you first have to disconnect and blank off the vacuum hose that ...

With the 5AM MAF, hotwire airflow meter. Are there sensing wires in the main body? Looking inside the main air tunnel there is a smaller tunnel leading away of the mail on the side. Just curious, as mine has no visible wires. ( I once looked into another hot wire Maf of a differnet model car and saw ...

I have a neat installation down by LPG1 in Lilydale. 2 scubas high up out of the way where my original petrol tank was. Then a 45 ltre tank for petrol in the right rear quarter panel. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/Rovernaut/towbar1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/Rovernaut ...

Not sure if the D11 had an eccentric bolt the the pedal pivots on, but if it had it might just need turnind to raise the pedal.

I bought a 3.9 96 disco today. $8500. I took it for short test drive the day before ran fine on petrol, when i picked up the car filled it up and headed on my hour and a half trip home in stinking heat. The car was idling at 2500rpm and drop off slowly, continued driving with the air con on and the ...

On my first 3.5 I changed to dizzy from points to electronic with a piranha kit. Easy to do and better overall but still had some water problems and eventually advance problems as the dizzy progressively wore. Then converted the 3.5 with a bosch dizzy purchased from Ritters - worked a treat. More ...
