I'll pop the Disco on Ebay and give it a month to see what goes then scrap what's left. Disco has done 180k miles. Keyway/pulley has gone on crankshaft. Sills need welding. Front strut broken. Windscreen leaks a bit from centre when raining heavy. The 2 rear window switches on...

Guys The 300tdi M reg has died as I stated in a previous thread. MOT due in Jan. Local weigh in place is offering 160 a tonne so that will fetch about 350. I'd sooner not do that as I'd sooner the parts live on. So does anyone have any idea what a 'breaking' will fetch...

I'm sorry guys but enough is enough. I've recently posted about the fuel probs on my M reg 300tdi Disco. That was totally my fault. Anyway that's sorted now. I then posted to say that after sorting the fuel I drove just down the road and went over a speed ramp and the front nearside...

Hi again Well the fuel problem is sorted ... I hope. Got him home, bypassed sed bowl, drained tank. Refilled with dyno and he's starting and running fine now. I get 300 yards from home, hit a speed ramp and there's a clunking noise coming from front left. Had a look around and the bottom...

Ok first up ... A local recycle place started selling recycled cooking oil which is filtered to 5 micron. So for about 2 months now I have been using that at a 50/50 mix with diesel. After about 2 weeks the car went a little sluggish so I changed the fuel filter and it was back to 100%...

Hi guys Go easy on me if this is really obvious as I'm still learning. Had this 1995 M reg 300tdi a year now. First Land Rover. So far I've had to learn how to take the front end out to clean intercooler. Repaired keyway on crank pulley and did timing belt whilst I was there...

Always lots of starting probs at this time of year. I had a nightmare last winter. Wouldn't start first thing in a morning. Once started would start all day. Changed battery. Did all earths but no different. Eventually had starter motor reconditioned and it started to start...

I've had a leak on the throttle shaft on the 300tdi for ages. Yesterday I went to local diesel specialist and he checks shaft and says there is no play so prob doesn't need new bush ... just new o ring. So I buy o ring for 60p and a new gasket. I follow the guide on lr4x4 site...

Hi guys It's been a while. I've read the sticky so I know what I can put on. I'm back to sorting out tyres. I know the standard sizes are 205 80 16 or 235 70 16. As per my last thread can we forget the new option at the mo. Two choices that I have ... 4 x 235/70R16...

M reg Disco 300tdi 1st Disco. I've read the sticky. When I bought this Disco it had ( still has ) white steel modular 16/7 wheels. Tyres ... front ... 2 x ... Colway C_TRAX MT 265 / 75 / 16 back was ... 2 x ... GreenWAY BIG MACHO HARDRIDER 265 / 75 /16 M+S As I say I've read the...

Disco 1 94 300tdi 5 door Mine has no sunroofs and no bass speaker in the rear door panel. Whilst at the scrappers recently getting extra earth straps ... the Disco I had the earth off has a bass speaker box in the rear panel. Can I put that in my Disco ( just swap panels ) ... will...

I've had this Disco a few months and it's just one thing after another. I've just had 2 months of starting problems and the damper pulley keyway problem. Today is the first day in a long time I've actually started her and decided to go out in her with some confidence. Oh dear ... I get 3...

Car has been parked up with handbrake on whilst I redid the crankshaft pulley keyway repair and did timing. Put on fully charged battery and tried her. Cranked ... but slowly and wouldn't start. Battery went flat. Tried jumping with leads off another car. Not even cranking ... just solenoid...

Hi guys Some of you will have seen the other threads on this problem. I'm back on it this weekend to try and sort it. I'd repaired this but it failed within a few miles. The problem is that the damper pulley goes past the end of the crankshaft. It's only by 1mm but it means the...

I've repaired the crankshaft and done the timing and fitted new damper pulley and refitted the radiator and intercooler. When I took off the rad I had to remove the two metal pipes on the left ( oil cooling ). This area was filled with oil and some oil ran out of the bottom hole before I could...

Er cocked up and ended up posting twice. Would a Mod kindly delete this duplicate please? Thanks Colin

Some of you may remember my post about the damper pulley on my M reg 300tdi Disco going all wobbly and then failing. I thought I'd put a post up showing some pics of the original damage and how I attempted to fix it. So for those of you who have a similar problem and remove the damper pulley...

So 2 weeks ago ... overheated. Not sure what happened there. I filled up and bled the system and all has been well. Heater is working fine and water level has held solid. Then there's been the problem where it won't start 1st thing in the morning. That led to a local garage taking it away and...

Forgive me folks ... I've been asking for help and didn't introduce myself. My name is Colin. I live in Kidsgrove in Newcastle u Lyme near Stoke on Trent. I'm a father of two lads who are both grown up now as I'm now the ripe old age of 49. I worked for the best part of 20 years...

It's been a bad week. A week or so ago I posted saying that the 300tdi 'M' reg had overheated. I'd topped up with antifreeze and bled the coolant system and all seemed well. The heater was running warm again and the coolant levels were holding steady. However ... it's been so...
