1993 Discovery High fuel consumption
Get yourself a cheap timing light, you'll need it for the idle timing in any case. Timing should advance with revs. Also remove the distributor cap and see that the rotor freely moves against the advance springs. Don't pull on the rotor button without reading this thread first:

The answer for testing the temperature sensor for cold start from 1993 Discovery High fuel consumption is:
I pulled the vacuum hose off the FPR. No signs of fuel in the hose. Put a known good hose on and sucked and it holds the vacuum so I assume that he diaphragm is not perforated. The hose looked a bit old with some cracks in the rubber so I have replaced it.
Spoke to the old man and he tells me that it’s not heating up. It sits on the very bottom of the ‘normal’ temperature range indication just above the C.
He towed the boat (5.2m fibreglass half cab with 115HP) up the Southern Outlet. The vehicle was very underpowered and he had to drop it back gears and give it gas. He was worried about the temperature with it reving so high towing a load up such a steep incline but the temperature gauge on the dash didn’t get off the bottom of the ‘normal’ temperature range mark.
So how do I get the car to get hot?
Yup. Thermostat is stuck open . I think i have the right one at work. I can drop it outside the gate for you in the morning i have to drop in quickly. Ill txt you when ive been down there.
