4. New fuel block/regulator

All up looks like it cost me approx. $5300 with labour including the extra bits. A lot cheaper than I was quoted by 2 other respected Landrover mechanics ($6500-$7000) so I'm happy. Picking car up tomorrow, apparently now I don't have any oil leaks either, so that's a bonus too!!!! Lets hope my investment in my new AMC head will pay off, we'll see?

Did they remember to refill it with oil :wasntme:

Haha Kelvo, he must have as I just drove home!!!


Well it may be my imagination, but it does seem a little smoother maybe, or perhaps less rattles, might be the new engine mounts not sure?!?!


It is driving really nicely though! I do love my Disco!!!!!

Hi David

Seems like a lot of money when we have to make repairs.

Hopefully it is money well spent.

I like my old disco too.
