Metallic clicking noise from P/S area.
Intermittent.
Still plenty of fluid in res.
Is this a shot P/S pump?

Right O. Update time. Found the slow leak. Lifted the hood whilst engine bay was hot. And small steam leak at top of radiator by the top hose. So I am going with a triple tube re-core. Superior cooling properties according to the radiator tech. Costs a little more than a LR OEM radiator but the lR D...

I saw a couple of YT clips on the clutch fan viscous refill option. Though further research indicated that getting a tight seal can be problematic. Anyone tried a daviescraig electric water pump and electric fan conversion on a D1? Flexi-lite make great looking fans too,and USA manufactured a bonus ...

Hi ya smurf. Always seems to smoked a bit when I floor it from stationary up to hiway speed. Cooling/rad fan very stiff to rotate by hand when engine is both warmed up or cold. Can`t see any leaks when system is pressurized. Think maybe viscous/fan clutch is shot. 1995 with 300k on the chassis and a...

This condition started a couple of days ago. Normally hear this whir for a minute or two then it dies away from a cold start. But now is on all the time until I reach top gear around 80kms. Seems to be using a little bit more water too. No air con working/on. So is this perhaps a radiator cooling fa...

All the time lately.
Is this a big deal?

Long shaft went in OK,so all should be good.

3rnzir

Old disks too thin.
Anyways,I pulled both hub covers and shafts off to change over to new rotors.
Will this be an issue aligning shafts back into the diff?
Or should I have done 1 side at a time?
Too late now for me.
Replacing bearings and cups whilst all the fruit is out.

3rnzir

Merry Xmas.

I saw a guy on YT a Mrbeamerdave. Great vids about the D1 using a ECUmate scanner. I noticed in his D1 engine bay the charcoal canister had been removed. My truck has had the cats removed. Can I do the same with the charcoal canister? Does the ECU need to be reprogrammed to remove the CC? Jap D1s se...

Thanx lax.
That`s a relief.

Thanx for the tips TT. Ended up the fuel pump had gone south. Inspected the old pump. A OEM was going to cost like $850 + GST + freight + a 2 week delivery time from the UK.(yeah right moit) Went for a generic FP for around $340. Also had the ignition amp relocated to the area behind the L/front hea...

Disco cut out towing the boat. Plenty of spark looked for loose wires/connections etc. Is the fuel pump kaput? The ignition amplifier module plays up as per an earlier thread I placed here. Any possible connection to the fuel starve issue. Also just had a new exhaust put in. Thoughts/tips/ideas. Che...

The reflective wrap seems to be working fine so far.

3rnzir

Put 91 in truck by error.(96 is what it should have been)
Put a can of octane booster in.
When towing boat up hills noticed pinking under acceleration.
And gutless.
Have run tank down low.
Was going to try 98 Ultimate (BP).
Anyone see problems here for me?
Cheerz.

3rnzir

I have wrapped some heat deflecting ducting wrap around the ignition module on the dissy to see if that helps.

3rnzir

Thanx for the heads up noexitroad.
Sounds like my issue.
Will keep informed as requested.

Hi,got this truck to tow a boat. 1st timer with Disco`s. Anyways,drove 50 odd K`s briefly turned engine off would not start. Jump started OK. 2 weeks later (went overseas) expecting to jump start it again,motor turn over fine. Good battery. Is a sensor getting too hot and the ECU getting signals cro...

You can grab the cargo barrier anytime DaveM.
It has 2 x small sections of mesh removed to accommodate fishing rods.
Structural integrity of the CB should be fine.

Need to sell motor 1st so buyer can check it out.
Then other parts up for grabs.
Has a Milford cargo barrier.
And a Best Bars detachable tow bar.

Not alot of hard off roading on my watch.
I will be going for a gasser for my next truck.
Cheeerz

3rnzir

What stays or goes with the engine.Is the fuel pump sold separately for example. And is it better to leave the truck in running order so the buyer can hear/inspect/compression test the motor first? I have a little idea via trademe, what the price ranges are for various parts are. Too much body rust ...

Good call nismo26.
That seems fair to the buyer.
