Vacuum line for seafoam
Does anyone have a picture or description of which vacuum line to use to put seafoam in? I'm thinking of pulling one off the vacuum resevoir, but wanted a confirmation. I've seen several posts from DiscoMike helping folks out, but never a picture or write up. I'd hate to put DiscoMike out again. Perhaps for once, somebody whos done it can post a pic or description.
Cheers.

What year is your Disco, if it id aD2 then send me your e-mail address and I will send you a good photo, if it is a D1 then use the smaller line going to the booster. Biggest trick is to take about 2 minutes to slowly allow the liquid to be sucked into the engine.

RE: Vacuum line for seafoam
I did the seafoam (thanks to Mike for the pics).
After the vacuum line part of the process and shutting off the engine, I did get some smoke on restart (particularly when I revved the engine) but not the huge amounts I was expecting. More like a continuous puff of white smoke.
Perhaps my expectations were too high on the smoke.
Engine runs a little better at the mid-rev range, but stumbles a bit at the 1-2 RPM range in my opinion. I noticed that the little red ring on the intake manifold (where the vaccum attached) looks to be broken (partial ring). Perhaps there's a vacuum leak somewhere?

I was considering doing this to my 03 Discovery, as acceleration seems lacking.

Yes you have a leak and that parts needs to be replace.

I was told never to use seafoam on d1s because on higher mileage motors it could damage seals... Any truth to this?
