Hello Mick

could be worth a look

Cheers Dragon wagon!

Thats the the exact problem described right there!...Now if only I knew were the Spider is? Can anyone post a picture or some further instructions? please please!

This is a really common fault, all dealers would know about it, I know of cars that have gone through 3 alarm issolators. I'd still be checking the ignition amp first.

Looks like LRA are still catering for it 8O :? , there's a link lead available to bypass the spider, part # AMR4956.
LRA have 75 in stock at around $17 list.

A big thanks to all who posted particularly Dragon wagon. The info was invaulable and the Discovery is now fixed....err well almost............

Since starting regularly she has developed something which I suspect is far more worrying........She makes a terrible din in the exhaust and has hestitation on hard acceleration, suggested cause is the catylitic converter which may be causing a blockage in the exhaust system ( thats what it feels and sounds like too!)

Local Rover quoted $1000 - $2000 for a replacement...............PLEASE anyone got any suggestions.................Is it possible ( note not legal) to run the old girl without the CC? can the CC be removed? what engine mods need to effected to run without...Anyone know of a Discovery wrecker for a 2nd hand one?

Mick

What year is it, most Ozzy Discos don't have cats, is it a series 2 or a private import?

She's a 8/1996 Discovery V8i 3.9
