Fuel line fix

My blue fuel line broke at the end while changing the fuel pump and I wanted to know if there’s a easier way to fix this before I rip the whole line out. My fuel tank still has about 1/3 fuel in it so it’s gonna be a hassle draining it lol

Finally Happened to Me

I thought it couldn't happen to me. We had full confidence in the long-range ability of our 2012 LR4 Disco, it only had 260,000ish km. We were taking it on a 14-hour round trip to the 24 Hours of Spa last week for camping and racing.

About an hour into our trip on the autobahn, there was a pop and the engine turned off. I coasted to a pull off area and there was oil pouring out from under the car. Lots of oil.

The crankshaft failed and cracked the engine block. Finally got it to a shop, and they quoted €15,000 for a replacement engine and labor. It was an emotional weekend losing the Disco.

On the bright side, ADAC sent this cool tow truck to come get us! It made my inner kid happy.

We're still trying to figure out options since I don't have a shop here where I can work on it.

Edit: just heard from the shop again. Apparently that estimate didn't include turbo, filters, etc and we're actually looking at closer to €28,000.

In unrelated news, if anyone in Bavaria/Munich is looking for a project vehicle, I can cut you a great deal!

Help identifying a specific type of washer for Disco 1

Hi there! I'm fixing up my old lady (1995 Disco 1 that's been in my family its entire life). Recently the locks stopped working due to a washer falling out of place (highlighted in red). The electronics/locking mechanisms still work, just need the washer to keep everything tight when it turns to engage the lock. I can buy an entire drivers side door handle/lock to get the washer, but I was curious if there are any other options. Been scouring Atlantic British and haven't been able to find a part that matches.

Starts but will only run for a few seconds and then die

Hey everyone,

I recently replaced the shuttle valve and had a fuel leak issue but it’s now fixed.

Now it’ll only run for a maybe 2 seconds and then die. I’ve tried priming it with pumping the throttle 5 times and then attempting to start it and same thing. I can also hear the fuel pump working. Not sure what the problem could be. Is it maybe the fuel pump??

Thanks in advance

Could I be a bad Crank position sensor??

Zf6hp solenoid kits

Located Australia. Trying to find a kit for the D4, there's a crazy variation in pricing, from $100aud to $500aud. I'm not rich soooo if I can safely use a cheaper lot that would be good, not the cheapest by all means. I've also noticed the kits aren't visually the same, some are blue yellow and black, some are green yellow and black. Any advice welcome please

Edited to add: the D4 isn't only available in an 8spd. Some are the 2.7l 6spd.

02 Disco 2 green fuel line leaking

Recently replaced the fuel pump seal thinking that’s why the smell of gas was getting in the cab.

But it turns the previous owner didn’t put the locking ring on properly. But since I was already down there I went and replaced the seal anyways. After putting everything back together I went to start it and it wouldn’t go. Went back to the trunk and saw fuel everywhere.

Anybody know where I can get another fuel nozzle or whatever it’s called that’s leaking?? Is it somehow put on wrong? It snapped back into place.

Thanks in advance

Sunroof drain help needed on LR4

I have watched every video and read every thread on sunroof drains and I cannot find an answer for this one. I have a 2025 LR4 HSE.
I have been getting damp flooring on both my drivers side and passenger side (this side more than drivers) when it rains or car wash.

I took apart the area under the steering wheel and got to the 90 rubber piece and it feels brand new. I tested with a water bottle and it is dry as a bone and I opened the exhaust panels on both sides and you can see the rubber sticking out and in great shape. When doing the water test, they both flow well but on the passenger side, the water never reaches the ground (cement) it still goes into my carpet, please help me! Again, the water is flowing well from the fitting sticking out of the exhaust but never reaches the ground when it flows through, is it catching something and flowing back into the car? The insulation with a bag around it is soggy and filled with water on both sides. This is a 2015 LR4. Any help would be much appreciated!

A couple questions on my 94 Disco

Just a couple things that I've been looking at lately...

Under acceleration, I'm sometimes hearing a bit of a buzz coming from what seems to be the passenger footwell area. Would that be a fuel pump relay getting ready to go out on me?

On the back of my center console, the ashtray insert is missing. I don't need an ashtray, so was thinking I'd put a plate with some USB plugs there instead. I can see some wires inside. Am I able to connect into these somehow to get power? Have others done something similar and have any advice?

Window Switches Chewed Cables

I've finally fulfilled a dream and bought myself a Disco 2. Slowly working my way through the ever growing list of things that need fixing, and thought I'd fix what seemed a relatively simple issue with an intermittent window switch. However, I was greeted with the nice surprise of what looks to be a wiring harness/mouse dinner. Does anyone have any idea as to what the completely chewed cables that disappear off into the floor are for? I've noticed that my parking brake light on the dash is permanently lit, even when disengaged, so assuming it may be to do with that?
