I would like to know as well!

If he PMs you instead of replying here, could you forward it on to me?

I want to know what he did about the tubing since the original valve is a 90* angle.

This is the Hyundai valve BTW...

That's exactly it - the Dorman 911-800 part. Ordered from Amazon:

This went into my '96 Discovery...very slight modification to the existing purge valve holder, but nothing that's too difficult to figure out. I replaced the what I'm guessing is factory plastic vacuum tubing with rubber vacuum tubing from Advanced Auto Parts - I think it was 9/32".

Ah ok.

So you pretty much got rid of the original plastic tubing and replaced with vaccum hose?

It all sounds very simple, but could you post a pic of the finished product?

Correct - the hardest part of the hole process was removing the old plastic tube from the connectors.

I won't be able to until this weekend, but I'll post it.

Replaced the starter w/ a unit from Atlantic British. The starter motor while cranking sounds similar to my '06 RR Supercharge. It's neat to hop on the Disco and crank it over and hear that sound.I missed it.

Changed the oil rotella 5-40 w/ M1-301.
Installed rear Akebono brake pads.
Fixed bleeder coolant tee hose leak. The cheap hose clamps that came w/ the AB unit came loose and pissed coolant all over the engine compartment.

Next up, Terrafirma steering bars.

Went to the store and as I was putting it in park my foot slipped off the brake.

Kissed the unoccupied car in front of me.

me:
So what did you do to your Disco today?-me.jpg

Popped my headlights back into place, wiped the red paint off the bumper and drove home.

Anyone got a used grille for a 96 Disco?

Please tell me you're joking and that you didn't just break the law and then brag about it on this forum!?

You did leave your info for that person right? If not soon you'll get a knock on the door, I'm sure it was recorded on video.

Calm down everyone...you guys take stuff too literally...

Reports were written, info exchanged, once the owner came out i was there and bought him a Starbucks while we waited.''

Crikey people - calm down!

I was referring to the damage sustained!
