Anyone know the part number for the 8 flywheel bolts for the 300TDi? I've searched around on the internet but not having much luck. Apparently they are supposed to be replaced once removed and tightened to 146Nm :eek: Cheers.

I have just lifted the 300TDi engine out of the Disco, and it seems there are 2 of the 8 bolts that fix the engine mount plates to the block. Does anyone know what size I need or the part number please? Thanks, JB

Which head gasket does the collective recommend? Laminated or multi-layer metal one?

Well, after 'sorting' out the loss of coolant (or thinking I had, silly me!), when moving house recently, driving the Disco to the new place with caravan on the back, got just under half-way - around 12 miles - and the temp gauge started climbing again! Pulled over, lost around 1 1/2 gallons of...

I replaced the Aux belt on our Disco 1 300TDi around 300 miles ago, and today I noticed that it looked like it was starting to break down! It looks like an F1 tyre after a good lap!! almost looks like it's de-laminating on the smooth edge and feels slightly sticky to the touch. She seems to...

Hi all. After several attempts at sorting my overheating Disco 9 (see http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/overheated-300tdi-264599-2.html), I thought I had sorted it out. I eventually replaced the thermostat and water pump, bled in several different ways as advised on here and she seemed to be...

OK, bear with me for the scenario: 2 weeks ago the stud for the serpentine belt tensioner snapped and the belt came adrift. I got the truck home, replaced the stud and the belt as a matter of course. Belt was really tight to get on (right one chosen from measurements and VIN) but I assumed it...

After a bit of advice please guys. Just on my way home when I heard a short clatter from the engine bay, thought nothing of it then the battery light came on and the steering went into muscle-man mode! I assumed that the belt had snapped so drove home and on popping the lid found the...

Evening all. Had an annoying ticking from the Disco 1 (300TDi) for a good while now, tried to locate it using all the known methods, but couldn't really find out what it was. Changed the fuel filter tonight as it was way overdue, and when I came to prime up the lift pump again I was pumping the...

While I'm waiting for the replacement Flexi plate for my 300Tdi, I have been looking into the front sill body mounts, they had an advisory last MOT for light corrosion. Well the nearside is a lot more than 'light corrosion'! Problem is, I have undone all 5 body mount bolts as advised on here and...

Well, after god knows how long sitting on the drive waiting to skin my knuckles and bruise my limbs, the Disco finally got pushed into the garage to find out what the issue is with no engine spinning with the starter. It's a long story, but after much head scratching as to what the noise...

Following on from a recent thread of mine regarding a 'knocking/rattling' coming from my Disco, and after much searching and 'Googling', I have come to the conclusion that my 300TDi Disco has knacked Flex Plate I have not been able to check it, but seeing as the engine seems to have plenty...

Hi all. I've had a problem on our 1975 300TDi Disco Auto for several months now and not really had a lot of time to look into it. When dropping the revs, there was a knocking from the engine area which I was assuming was possibly big ends or similar. Anyhow, when I finally got to do some work...

Further to my earlier thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/over-running-issues-129261.html I removed the intercooler pipes today and found a good smear of black goo in them at the turbo end and inside the turbo too. Also when I checked the shaft for play I think I detected a small amount. So...

Hi all, hope your XMAS went OK (can't be worse than mine is at this moment in time :() I have had major issues over the past year (don't ask why so long) with our 300TDi Auto Disco. The basic fault was very rough running and tons of white smoke (unburnt diesel) out of the tail pipe, enough to...

I'm just about sick of my damn Disco :(:( Referring back to http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/still-got-issues-300tdi-91973.html, I finally got what I thought was the answer when I had the mobile diagnostic guy from our area come out and work his computer magic. His computers revealed 4 faults...

Right, back again! See my previous thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/me-again-93296.html Problem is still there. Cambelt changed and timing checked, all fine. #1,#2 and #3 injectors swapped for known good one, and fault still apparent. Could not replace #4 because the injector used to...

After some really good replies on my thread here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/still-got-issues-300tdi-91973.html I was waiting for the diagnosis as explained in the thread, but unfortunately the guy never made it over here, it was the same day that all the snow decided to come down...

I recently posted a problem on here http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/need-help-91153.html and since then, I've had the compression checked, and apparently everything is fine on the head/compression front. The chap who tested it for me said he managed to get it started and running fine, but then...

Hi all, My 300TDi auto has been a real pain to start over the past few weeks, seemed not to be firing on all 4 and ran rough for a little while. Once warm it seemd fine (although a little down on power). Tried to start it tonight, and it would only fire on 2 or 3 pots, and when it did start...
