Good day everyone,

While doing a search for 8mm magnecor ignition wires I found this - "Discovery Series II
(replacing intake manifold gasket may be required)" Why oh why would one may/might/should/could/have to consider replacing an intake manifold gasket when replacing plug wires? Sounds like an echo check of the exhaust system to me.

oh - 111 for 8mm and 135 for 8.5mm (without the bigger looms)

Thanks

Robert

 

Some remove it to have more room to work.

 

Do you have secondary air??
Consider following theses instructions.

Disco Mike,

Thanks for the information, I printed those instructions however, at this point I don't know what secondary air is? Pardon my stupidity but, this is a new (to me) system with no previous knowledge or manuals.

Thanks again!

Robert

 

I have a 2003 Disco and replaced the wires without removing the IM. Well, technically I had someone do it for me, but I was there lending my much smaller hands for help.

It is possible...pain in the butt, but possible. I was told I had secondary air because of the year of my Disco, but I still don't know...haha.

 

So the parts list includes Band-Aids if you choose not to remove the IM?

 

Not Band-Aids...more like finger splints from being squished and contorted trying to access small spaces....

 

Sounds like some cursing and beer drinking might be in oreder as well.

 

I recommend the beer drinking afterwards...the cold can/bottle/glass will make your hands feel better
