I had a problem where my 300tdi would not crank quick enough in the cold weather a couple of years ago.I fitted a Numax Leisure battery with 1000cca problem solved Numax CXV-X 1000 Amp - Leisure Batteries - Numax Leisure Batteries Great service from these people too

Just had a quote from them for my 1996 disco tdi limited mileage etc they are no cheaper than going through a comparison website....pretty poor really considering they claim to give us members cheap deals.....

Thanks for confirming that.Yep carpet & soundproofing already pulled back trying to dry it out.Windscreen rubber looks okay as well.I'll have to get inside & get someone to put the hose over her to try & see where the water is coming from.....

Referring to the photos above if you take out the plastic cover on the right side of the drivers footwell would you see any corrosion holes without taking the wing off ? I say this as i have the same problem wihen it rains the footwell gets soaking wet...many thanks

I'm a fool.Didn't know that!! 1st time i've used it as hardly ever drive it. Thanks for your advice,human error on my part yet again!

Hi,can anyone advise please.I have used low range with diff lock to tow a car out of the snow,slowly for a couple of hundred hards.I then transfered back to high range but the diff lock light has stayed on.I have tried moving the lever back & forth quite a few times.Could it be the switch stuck...

I have General Grabber AT2 235/70/16 on my 300 tdi,dropped pressures to 20psi well impressed with them.Took it down a lane no-one else had been down,single track & drifts coming off the fields up to the wheel arches,coped no problem

Can anyone tell me the best place to buy a set of 5 door rubbers for my 300tdi.Had a search on the net,paddocks,craddocks,etc but they don't list them.....Many thanks

Well i stripped out the door lock(what a pain) & found the small spring broken,ordered & fitted a replacement.Refitted & all working now,thanks for your help,much appreciated.

Ok.I have had the outer handle & lock barrel out,all seems fine,although a little play on the plastic that attaches to the rod at the back of the barrel,held on by the circlip.I left that rod undone & operated the inner door handle.That rod(that connects to the outer handle barrel lock) moved...

Hi My 1996 300tdi central locking is playing up on the front passenger door.I unlock the car with the key on the drivers door.All doors unlock except the n/s/f.I can unlock it using the key in the n/s/f lock but have to keep the key turned & pull the handle at the same time otherwise the door...

Hi All It's not got an EGR valve or cat but i'don't know what boost it's running so it may well be running less than 1bar.Haynes manual say anywhere from 0.8-1bar.It has a cable throttle.Don't want the hassle & expense of fitting a bigger intercooler,just a tweak on the actuator should...

Hi All I have a 96 'N' 300tdi & want to know an easy way to get some more performance & stopping power.Can i adjust the wastegate actuator on the turbo & if so how do i do it & how easy is it to fit a boost gauge.Also it has solid discs up front & i'd like to upgrade to vented if...

Hi,can any of you advise me on fitting a boost gauge to my 1996 300TDi as i'm new to tubocharged engines.I can't seem to see where the wastegate is to 't' into the pipework.I have an EGR blanking plate fitted as standard,could i tap into this & run a gauge from there? Many thanks in advance
