Having searched the forum previously I'm seking some guidance on removing the indicator/light stalk. I've had problems with the lights playing up on my '96 300Tdi Disco and have a new switch but how on Earth is the switch removed? I removed the two cross head screws and the copper (horn?)...

My 300Tdi has 143k miles on the clock, is it worth having the injectors taken out and re-conditioned? Cheers Rob

I'd love to know the clown who designed the earth lead on the 300TDi, he deserves numpty of the year award. Why would you put a crimp mid way down it, bolt that to the inner wing then have a swaged terminal at the end. bolted to the chassis:mad: I've had charging problems, starting problems...

Evening all, Lots of black smoke, lack of power and won't rev above 3500 rpm on my 300 TDI disco. Diagnosis, blown turbo :mad: So, do I take a chance and get a second hand unit or take the plunge on a new blower? Where do I get a new one from? My local guy has done some phoning around...

Yet another 'leccy problem with my D1 which I'm running out of my own idea's to solve - Turn on the side lights with ignition off, no problem. Turn on side lights with ignition on and the hightlights dimly illuminate. A multimeter shows 6.3v going to both lamps. Pull the left hand side...

Afternoon folks, I've done a search and can't seem to find any similar problem to this one - When I have no lights on and press the brake pedal, the side lights, front and rear come on. When I put the side or headlights on, the brake lights are permanently illuminated. I been through all...

Tesco are selling 3 litre bottles of veggie oil for £3.20 or 2 for £5, don't go to the Kidsgrove shop, I've just wiped out their stock:)

Evening all, When I bought my 300Tdi, it had a set of Insa Turbo Sahara tyres fitted that were little used. I took them off for the Summer and bought a set of alloys and had some cheapo Runway boots fitted that have been a treat for the price/grip/noise/wear. Now Winter is back and we live...

I can't get the diff lock unstuck and cooked the rear prop donut. I removed the rear prop and took it to the local garage man who can;t unstick it and reckons he now needs to drop the gear box to have a go. Is there a knack to unstick the diff lock? Cheers Rob

300Tdi with 2" lift, no corrective radius arms. I noticed about a month ago that the rear propshaft coupling had started to shred (I'd had the car a while and driven 4k+) so as it was on the ramp, I had a new one fitted. Going to work this morning, things didn't feel right with quite bad...

My 'stat switch and housing arrived on the door mat this morning but just had a thought, which hose is best to fit it on? Top or bottom hose.... Cheers Rob

Why is anti-freeze so bloody expensive?:mad: I didn't mind for the two litres I needed for my motorcycle but 5 litres+, it's a rip off. By the way, is there any particular type of anti-freeze I need to use in a 300Tdi? Cheers Rob

My 300 front bumper and plastics are looking shabby and really beyond help. I'd like to fit a bumper that has fog lights in the valance and I think I'm correct that the ES has them. Is it possible to fit an ES bumper and plastics on to a non-aircon 300Tdi? Cheers Rob

Just failed an MOT!!! Literally overnight, the left indicators have started to flash very quickly so Mr MOT gave me a red piece of paper:mad: I got home and checked all three lamps, cleaned the contacts but still the same problem. The right indicators operate fine and when I put on the...

Evening all - My 1996 non-ABS 300TDi has just failed it's MOT on a few items that I can fix myself but being a Disco newbie, I am not well versed with the swivel joints. As the title suggests, there is excessive play in the swivel joint ie up/down. Do I need to get just a new swivel ball...

Due to the roads I travel to/from work, I need to fit some auxillary driving lights for range down country lanes. Initally, I plan to use a pair of 8" units mounted on the bumper but I'm not sure what manufacturer to go with for price/quality. Ring and Wipac appear cheap and poor quality so...

I have searched and read the many threads regarding diff oil and I'm somewhat confused what I should/should not use in the diffs on my 300Tdi manual Disco:croc: EP90 seems to be the prefered oil but I can only find this in Halfrauds at silly money and other auto factors at similar prices, all...
