Hi, I'm pretty sure the flash rate is a product of current flow through the flasher unit. If you have bad earths in the bulb circuit it could produce this symptom even though the bulbs a working but not a bright as normal.

My 300 tdi is awful on the road, fitted with large wheels mud tyres and lifted 2 inches. Things weren't too bad before these were fitted though, it's almost like the wheel base is too short. If your not going off road I'd suggest getting things...

Thankyou for your help

Thanks for your reply you sound very knowledgeable, I wonder if you could direct me to the inertia switch location so as I can "adjust" it. Many thanks. If it helps it's a 1998 discovery 300tdi RHD. Cheers.

It should only be an issue when the vehicle has a very hard knock or bump as in an accident, there’s inertia switch which will signal the doors to unlock, if locked, and also set the hazards flashing. To cancel, is by switching off the...

I think it is built in, I remember first time it happned on my old 200 disco as I drove into a ditch!

Don't some vehicles automatically switch on hazards when it registers its been in an accident, along with tripping the fuel cut off? Related to that maybe?

mine did the same for many years till it wore out while doing 60 on the road you just need to switch off while still driving and then on again a second later and it clears till the next time no need to even take it out of gear

I've noticed the hazard flashers switch on after going over rough ground or a large bump and can't be switched off until the engine is stopped. I'm wondering if this is a fault or some built in safety device, is it adjustable to be less sensitive...

I did not include the "damper thingy" just made up new pipes to bypass it. Not much to see but you get the jist?

Petersfield is the administrative centre. I’m a bit Norf in Bordon.

Well I fitted the servo today and the results are so much better than the heavy clutch previous. Before I had to push the pedal a long way but now it's a few inches and so light. I agree that the feed back /bite is a bit vague but not an issue...

Not sure where East Hampshire is but it sounds wonderful . Where is it?

I have a similar thing on my TD5, clutch is as light as a feather, or even lighter maybe? Down side being the bite point, strangely, is difficult to judge, making hill starts awkward.

Disco 300tdi Fairly close to Ringwood

Hi. would you recommend a good group to belong to.

Hello Neighbour from East Hampshire!

Hello and welcome :)

If I can dislodge the rusty pipe from it I'll leave it in. Many thanks for your replies.

My 1994 TDi 300 doesn't have one.

IMO better let it there, it's described in te WSM, read the note

Think the Disco had them but not the Defender. Son has a Disco 200tdi in his Ninety, it had one, took it off and it made no difference whatsoever.

I'm sure this has been covered before but thought it would be good to check peoples thoughts. I have purchased a brake servo to fit into the clutch line to help my arthritic knee. I'm wondering what the small reservoir type thing in the fluid...

We have a 300tdi that is used as a second vehicle and mostly for green lanes in southern Hampshire. So far it's performing well'
