    Disco 1 300TDI - For Repair

    Pictures here - landrover - a set on Flickr Would rather just sell as the whole vehicle, if I had time I would rather repair it than break it for parts. Just to be clear, it cannot be driven away, there is no clutch! Annoys me when people send you a message and don't seem to have read any of...

    Disco 1 300TDI - For Repair

    Sorry for the delay. I have taken photos. I'm fairly certain it is the clutch fork, this is the only major problem i'm aware of. Other minor problems are, front passenger door handle split on outside, must be opened from inside, drivers side rear door doesn't seem to open on outside but...

    Clutch job - few questions

    Thanks all, it is a 300TDI. I don't have a hoist or a workshop (won't fit in garage) so wouldn't be keen to remove the engine. I think it could be a pain to do either way outside in this weather! The alignment of the clutch is that just something which is a snug fit through the centre, I...

    300 TDI - Check Turbo?

    My 300TDI has been sat for a couple of months due to a clutch issue but when driving it was a bit sluggish. I've never driven a Landrover before but other turbo diesels you can tell when the turbo is coming in. Is there a way to test mine on a Disco?

    Clutch job - few questions

    I've seen the excellent how to for replacing a clutch but had a few questions for those who have done it. 1. I don't have an alignment tool for the clutch, what part is used to make this, is it the end of a crank shaft, what is it called? Are there any alternatives? Is it worth just doing...

    What is the best method to bleed the clutch?

    Tried it this morning, still no better. Running out of ideas now, maybe there is a clutch fork problem and it's not the cylinders now. Completely stuck, I could take the slave off and try it at a different angle (bleed nipple upwards?) I did also try taking the pipe out the master cylinder...

    How do you get to a D1 Aerial???

    I've looked a couple of times now, mine is loose and reception is rubbish but how the hell do you get to it??? I can trace the wire going through a rubber grommet but not actually how to get access between the bulkhead and wing?

    What is the best method to bleed the clutch?

    Can I ask what the reason for this is? What is it that your trying to get an angle on? Is there any benefit from removing the slave cylinder to change it's orientation if I still have problems? I don't think I have anything to raise the front, as I have a project car in the garage. It is...

    What is the best method to bleed the clutch?

    I thought it was drivable but isn't, just tried to do some more in the dark and made it worse as the pipe on my bleed tube split so it will have sucked a load of air in and is even worse now. Really getting annoyed with it now. Would it better to buy an oil syringe and reverse fill it from the...

    What is the best method to bleed the clutch?

    My Disco is drivable again but i'm not convinced the clutch is completely free of air. I was using a basic Draper 1-man bleed bottle with non-return valve and cycled quite a bit of fluid without really getting any result. I possibly wasn't waiting long enough at the top of each stroke? I then...

    Whats it worth ??

    When you turn off the ignition and get out the car the lights stay on a short time. Practical use will depend on where you park!
