Whats this on my V8 disco please ??
« on: November 18, 2008, 16:30:24 »
on my 97 V8 discovery , drivers side behind the engine fuse box is a black cylinder. It has a couple of wires going to it plus what would appear to be two vacuum pipes.
Its about 6" in diameter and about 9" high.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks for the replies. Carbon/charcol filter it is then. I need the space under the bonnet for other stuff so may well remove it.

BUT.... which wire should I cut first the red??? or the blue????
