finally got my disco back on the road, 96 300tdi ES auto. was driving fine untill i went round a corner a bit quick, and piled on the power half way round. now the 'check engine' light comes on at idle, and the idle speed sits at around 1000rpm. if i touch the accelerator the revs drop to normal...

before i drive over to my car and try and sort it, i need to know about fusable links ......... i had a quick look yesterday, and can see the fuse part, but how much of a fusable link needs to be replaced when it blows? is just the fuse part changeable, or do i need a whole link? cant find the...

MOT next week and really need to get this sorted. done the blink test and got fault code 2-3 repeatedly. it only shows up on some lists and the 1 ive got says ... 2-3 RIGHT REAR - Solenoid valve (inlet or outlet valve) failure in modulator, wiring harness or inside ECU. got absolutely no...

had a leak from the front passenger hub since i got the car, its had a new seal set and one shot grease but still leaking. stripped it yesterday and found the swivel ball a bit more corroded than i thought, but does it need a new 1 or is this 1 still useable and just needs cleaning? Mark

got some nice holes in my outer sills so they need repairing, a quick chat with S71 and 'box section' came up. is it as simple as just cutting off the outer sill completely and weld in a length of box section? if so what size should i be looking at? and where could i buy some from near...

finally got round to changing my glow plugs, and noticed that the plug nearest the front of the car (no1?) had the dreaded mayo on the tip of it. the car has been down on power slightly, and using a bit more fuel than it used to, and its been losing a small amount of coolant (1ltr over 2 months)...

planning a trip up to the plains next weekend, nothing scratchy just a play in the mud. anyone else fancy it? hopefully gonna be an early start and not to late a finish, day to be confirmed but its a choice of sat or sun. add your names Mark Disco Disco71

just put a replacement master cylinder and servo on the disco (300tdi auto) and its made no difference to the lack of braking!! push the pedal and theres no 'bite' in the brakes and the car just coasts to a halt. brake pedal is rock hard, no spongyness at all, and its consistent - it stops...

as above - gonna try and pick up a master cylinder and servo from a scrappy, its for a 300tdi auto N reg with ABS. will 200tdi parts fit? will non-ABS parts fit? cheers guys:D

before i buy a new master cylinder i wanna check its the right fix for my problem .... 300tdi auto and when i press the brake pedal it takes an age to stop, feels like the discs are covered in a light smearing of grease. turns out that im not getting full braking at the rear, neither of the...

here we go again ...... noticed lately the brakes on the disco aint quite what they should be, they dont 'bite' like they used to and sometimes the pedal is hard and i stop quickly but other times the pedal can sink towards the floor and it takes longer for me to stop. when the pedal is...

had an intermittent problem with the brakes on me 300tdi for about 3 weeks now an cant find out what it is. brakes work fine most of the time, but once every couple of days il press the pedal and the pedal will vibrate but its like theres something stuck under the pedal so it wont push down...

does somebody have a pic of a 2" lift fitted to a disco1 please? ideally i need a pic of where the front dislocation cones and rear dislocation cones go, where the spring retainers go front and rear, and where a 'securing ring' goes (i have 2 of these in the kit?). my lift kit arrived today but...

i prayed to god for the answer and he sent me here ..... my 300tdi disco had 2ltrs too much engine oil in when i bought it, so got it straight home and drained it off to the proper level. it doesnt seem to be losing any oil, but i do have a small leak from the rocker cover at both the back and...

is there a drain plug for a disco1 auto box, and if so- where? the gaynes manual says to see your local stealer but i aint paying them just to drain some oil from the box (as the previous owner has overfilled it). thanks. Mark

WHY do we modify (or adapt, re-engineer, customise, whatever your turn of phrase is) our vehicles?? fitting a de-cat to the disco today - its half way done :doh: Haynes says 5 bolts, slide old piece out, refit is reversal of removal. NOWHERE does it mention anti roll bar dropped down, or oil...
