I am having problems with the alternator belt going slack, I take the slack out of it but it slackens off again very quickly, I think I will change both the belts & fit new "shakeproof" star washers on the alternator adjusting nuts, it has to be those loosening that is causing the belt to...

This saga continues! took the heater box out again looking for the electrical connector only to find that it is on the drivers side (if anybody else forgets)! Plugged it in reconnected the battery switched on heater all working fine on all speeds, & fiddled the broken flaps so that I always have...

I think you are right! I believe that as I took the box out I had to disconnect the 5 way connecter from behinnd the fan as I pulled it out! Why the hell didn't I make a note of that! Luckily I am in no rush for the vehicle & good job! otherwise I would have had the sack!

It gets worse! I reinstalled the heater box & managed to connect up the coolant pipes (what shape do you have to be to do that?) connected the air pipes back up & went to plug it in & test the motor, but where do I plug it in (where did I unplug it from)? I tried every bundle of wires attached...

HELP I have manged to "bodge" the new motor (which was a smaller dia than the original) by sticking packers down the side to wedge it! & I have put the box back in & managed to reconnect the coolant hoses back up (who designed them)? I connected all the air pipes back up & was ready to test it...

I got there eventually & now I have done it once I would burn the bloody thing rather than do it again! lol NOBODY told me what a s**t job it is to reassemble that bloody plastic box, I have got it back together but broken bits off it everywhere, 2 of the flaps are broken so its a repair job...

3 days in & I have got the old heater box out &removed the motor only to find that the new one was different, so "bodged" it to fit, broke 2 air flaps trying to get the bloody box back together, so now have to set them in the "most used" position, another 4 days should see me somewhere near...

Cheers lads seems I am heading in the right direction then, I just need to keep going by the seem of it, yes its the Disco1 200 & by the look of it they start off with the heater & build the rest of the interior around it! I will wait for the frost to go before I carry on stripping it down, & by...

Well it took me all bloody day to get off what I have so far & there is a mountain of bits behind the back seats, once I remove the steering wheel & instrument panel whats left? there must be a mountain of air pipes to take off as well?

I have bought a new heater blower motor after the last coughed its finale in the middle of the recent cold spell (what a time for a heater to die!) I waited 6 weeks for a new one from the dealers, & now its here! I stripped out the centre console, radio, clock, cigarette lighter, passenger grab...

Mine only runs on the fastest speed setting & after 10secs it roars like a train & the entire dash shakes! I will deffo try the WD40 up the air intake & the hammer trick otherwise its the dash out, or stick with the 12v hairdryer I bought off e-bay, that works but you dont half get funny looks...

I just put new seals in the bottom of my Disco steering box, bit of a job getting the drop arm off though, does anybody know where that hard blue plastic seal goes? There wasn't one anywhere to be seen on the box, is it something new L/R have thrown in to confuse us? blueskip

Have you fitted a "hands free kit" recently, that was draining mine & my son's, I now unplug it from the cigar lighter, when I am not actually using it, seems to have done the trick for both of us!

From Swansea, I was introduced to this forum by a fellow member of another forum, who suggested that by starting to use biodiesel, I stood a chance of rotting the rubber in the fuel system of my "mature" (1994) Disco 2.5TDI. So I have come on here to pick the brains of you experienced...
