One of the rover stores has listing on ebay. I got mine from them, it is suppose to be OEM or OE, brans new with 2 years warranty for $320 no core to return no hassle. Shipping was little slow. I called them to see if it was original LR, they said yes, but waht I got is AllMakes 4X4 premium, made in england.

Nice refresh on the engine, I need to do something similar, I have tick that is worse when cold and varies with RPM.

As far as the PS pump, I did the gasket job on mine a few months ago it stopped leaking but no matter how many times I have bled it it whine worse than my 4 year old kid haha...

Does anyone know what the hard looped plastic lines that attach to the back of the passenger side head on the firewall go to? I didnt know if they were just some sort of venting or if they are supposed to be connected. They are the small black about 1/4" lines.
Thanks

Hey, this is my first post. I recently acquired a "new" Disco with 97k so planning on doing Mike's High Mile Service. Starting with plugs and wires, have ordered 8mm Magnacors but still deciding on plugs.

How did the Fusions work out for you?

At first I though the +4's were $15 and the Fusions $10 but I just found that Summit racing has the Fusions for $5.95/ea and the +4's for $3.95/ea so either way it seems cheaper than most places.

They seem to be the same plug except that the fusion has some iridium in the tip and a longer reach. Also the +4 is copper core and the fusion is platinum core.

I tried the Fusion's, was not pleased with the drop in low end torque.
I am currently running E3 # 48 plugs and have improved my mileage and torques.

Thanks for the response Mike, I was about to just go ahead and order +4's based on your earlier recommendations.

Does this mean that you now prefer the E3.48's to the Bosch +4's?
