Hi guys, been a while since I've been on here. Anyway, I'm trying to quickly fix my Disco as I can't afford to have it off the road long - it is my main commuter. (1996 Disco 1 300TDi Auto) On Friday in a queue of traffic I got smoke from under the bonnet, and when I checked it seemed to...

OK I know this is done to death on here, but I have a very specific couple of questions; I have been offered a huge amount, and probably continuous supply of WVO by a local pub/restaurant. I have a 300TDi currently running on Bio. I know as the WVO is '2nd hand' it would need...

Have any of you guys got any advice that will help me not to make a complete hash of changing my steering pump? ie do I need to remove the viscous fan first (and so need to get a tool for that) any other 'gotchas' waiting for me? I've done a search around and there's all sorts of ways...

So I've worked out that the oily patch on my drive isn't engine oil but diesel. This started about the time that I changed to Biodiesel. Also it can be difficult to start after being parked overnight, making me think it may be air getting into the system as the fuel comes out. Spent...

What size tryes would you prefer to use on a Disco for all round stuff ie driving to work and green laning. Assuming no suspension mods......

As the subject says. I'm all in favour of spell checkers, but it keeps messing with the case. ie when you type say PARTY it changes it to party I then tried Party....which worked. Then someone quoted me, and it changed to party in the quote. It's even more annoying when you do : D...

Is there a suitable point to tap off a 12v feed into the back of my Disco? Same as if I wanted a cigarette lighter socket in there. I don't want the socket, but I want to take a tap to charge my portable power pack. Then I won't have to have it loose in the passenger footwell using up my...

Is there anything special about the fuel filler cap for a disco 300TDi ?? I ask because I lost mine and I've an emergency bung thing on there which I don't think would pass an MOT......and the MOT is up at the end of the month. What do I need to know before I buy another? Do want to...

Just thought, people spend hours on here discussing tyres for mud, rock crawling, wet grass, etc but you don't see much about snow and ice. So which TYPE of tyre is good for snow and ice on tarmac - ie a bad winter on normal roads. AT, MUD, Road Tyre even !!!!! I was just thinking...

Just wondering if the owner is on here. Blue 110 with BFG ATs and a snorkel parked, in Green Street, Kidderminster (and the clincher) Usually with a big orange sign on the back pointing to a carpet shop!! Just wondered, as I walk past it most days......

OK so maybe I did a silly thing and 'changed' two things so I don't know which has had the effect. First I swapped 2 road tyres, 1 bald road tyre, and an AT (long story) for a new set of Goodyear Wrangler AT/s - same size, wheels etc. Then, after only 20 miles of driving, I went green...

Goodyear Wrangler AT/S Are these tryes any good? My Disco now seems to have a set - I needed new tyes and I found these at a good price (I think!) Previously had the original spec road tyres - Pirelli Scorpian. Was this a good move? Does the /S make them different to the other...

Before anyone shouts.....yes I have done a search ;-) I want to try bio deisel in my 300TDi. I've read all the info I can find, but one thing sticks out - check your supplier isn't selling crap stuff. So can anyone recommend a source of good biodeisel that I can put straight in the...

This applies to many different landrovers, but mine is a Disco, so I'm asking here ! I have a Disco 300TDi Auto and I'm considering filling it up with biodiesel. the problem is I keep finding differing information. Somewhere I've seen that all but the latest diesel landrovers can use it at...

Just saying 'Hello' as instructed ;) Currently I have a Disco 300TDi Auto - which I'm keeping running for my Dad. I've been 'running it around' each time I've visited my parents, but now I've borrowed it for a bit longer and it's parked outside my house. It may become a permanent borrow if I...
