  • The engine code or number, because this model was sold with the 2.7 TDV6 turbodiesel, V6 petrol and V8 petrol.
  • A photo of the old part or its part number, if you can get to it.

Discovery 3 fuel system questions

What should I do if I put petrol in my diesel Land Rover?

Do not start the engine. If you have already driven, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. Have the tank drained and the system flushed. Running a modern diesel on petrol can damage the high-pressure pump and injectors.

How do I bleed air out of my diesel fuel system?

Many modern Land Rovers bleed themselves when the ignition is cycled several times. Older engines may need manual priming. Follow the procedure for your engine, and fix the cause of the air leak.
