I bought a 98 Discovery 1 v8 4.0 and while I the seller and I were talking at the front of the truck, it died. I bought it anyway...at a much lower price of course lol.

I've been working on it and discovered that I wasn't getting power to the fuel pump. I was testing power at the connection for the pump on the harness. No power....I bypassed the inertia switch...no luck. Went to the multifunction relay under the hood. This relay controls multiple things but most importantly it controls the power for the fuel pump. Anyway...that checked out fine after a lot of testing. It ended up being a connection located on the driver's side frame that supplys the power to the rest of the harness to the fuel pump. It's just aft of the axel mounted up on the body. Mine was full of dust/dirt. I cleaned the connection, put back together and Bam! I have power to my connection to the top of the fuel pump assembly, I put itnin and hear the pump kick on and then once it built pressure, cut off.

If anyone needs help with a similar issue with the fuel system...I have spent some time on tracking this problem down. The fuel pump would run intermittent. That was my symptom. Also the owner before me said he put just a fuel pump in it and not the whole sending unit. He also said he replaced the pump relay. I double checked everything just to make sure...runs fine now!!👍

98 Discovery 1. Picked up for $800😊

White/purple wire supplies 12v .The other connection red...green...black...that connection is for the sending unit. 5v should read there.

 

Bought 2 original land rover cup holders with inserts off ebay for $45... Should get them in a few days.. They were priced at $59 but I offered him $45 and he accepted but I also added in the message "Hook a fellow Kentuckian up please"..

 

I'm having issues with my heated seats also. lights come on but no warm booty lol

 

I ordered the whole fuel pump assembly today. Apparently there is a fuel pressure switch built in the top flange of the assembly...this is on a 98 Disco 1 V8 4.0 with the advanced evap system. yay....lol

 

Where and how much did you pay for that intake??

 

 

temporary winter rust repair - fluid filmed the whole underside and leveled the side steps that were not mounted to the frame.

 

Installed cup holders and front passenger side fender turn signal bulb.

I didnt even look at a stock photo of where these go on a Disco 2 but i just sat in the seats and checked clearance for diff lock, shifter and accessory plug. The wifey needed a cup holder..

 

I Installed a Crank Shaft Position Sensor and saved over $600.00 if I had taken it to a Mechanic! It seemed crazy that they would charge so much for just removing and replacing four screws and a plug, though I probably would have never attempted it if it weren't for a great "How To" video on YouTube that inspired me to try to do it myself. I have to say those were the toughest four nuts and bolts I ever had to remove and replace though so I guess that why it cost so much for a mechanic. to do it. I even discovered a little short cut to get the job done a little quicker than the guy on the video, by bracing the plug in place with a large screwdriver, instead of having to pull it up with the wiring harness and plugging it back in from the top.
