Lol, it never ceases to amaze me what can be done with a Disco! I think there was a fix for the fan, stronger blades? As for performance, it could be a number of things, MAF sensor, turbo hoses, fuel pump etc or if it is running sweetly but simply not grunty enough a chip upgrade can be done with excellent results. Good luck, & I hope you find some satisfaction in your ownership.Quote:

I did notice that the new fan had slightly different blades, much bigger radius on the leading edge.
I will clean the MAF sensor this week, also looking to order silicone turbo hoses as mine do feel a little soft.
As far as chipping goes, do you have any recommendations around Melbourne?
I am yet to do this (petrol in the tank), but every time I talk to the Misses I get a shudder. She tells me that she is going to fill her up with petrol and come and pick me up from the airport.
When I was way younger filled a VC Valiant with diesel, funny thing was it went harder on 50/50 mix blew a bit of smoke.:o
Took on a Monaro 186S and blew him away, next lights he asked "wot u got in it?"
"225 Perkins" was my reply.
Bugger to start but once running all was good:D
Didn't do it again tho.
When I was working in a servo as a kid one of the new fellas filled an engine with oil. When the dipstick was pulled out oil spurted out of the hole, from memory I think 6 to 7 litres and he still couldn't see the oil through the filler hole:D
My father filled his 80 series T/D with Diesel, got maybe 2km before it died.
Repair bill came in just under $4000..... apparently the petrol killed something and the flow on effect was not great...
