Hi Chaps, Just wondering if any of you sage like beings would know what exactly is the difference between the EU and Jap versions of the 300tdi Auto? Now really worried about the trim more about the rest of it? Cheers!

Hiya, I've scheduled in session of attempting to prevent the sea air from eating my disco alive. So with that I mind I was going to go for the farmers approach and spray a mix of the old engine oil I have and some diesel into the box sections of the chassis to prevent eh onset of Tin Worm...

Hi Guys, Currently I have a Disco 1 (98) and I am quite happy with it but I have always wanted a defender 110. I tried one at the recent Aldershot Army show and was impressed but I can;t afford a new one. Sooo here are the questions: 1) My mechanical recommends the 300tdi as the best...

My Big Green Thing is currently in the doctors having a new steering pump fitted. I was reading a fred a few weeks ago about another 300tdi Auto owner who's engine was a big loud had found the his head gasket had gone on the outside (so no water contimination) I currently have a 97 Commercial...

Hi, I'm a big fan of the old green oval and currently own a Disco1 300 tdi Auto. I'm looking for a second car for my work location (disco lives at home) for occasional use and to modify for a wee bit of pay and play offroading. I've seen numerous links regarding the 2" lift and I've...

Hi I'm bored with my front seats again as I made a bit of a hash of putting them together last time. I've seen some lads put P38 seats in but has anyone put the Exmoor Trim Modular seats in a Disco? They were dead comfy in my brother 110. Cheers C

Hello oh wise and bearded ones, With this forum's help my difflock is now working as it should be but after wee spell of tinkering last night I found that the wee LED to tell me that it;s engaged is not working. I tried my local motor factors who tried to send me to the main stealer who in...

Hi, I've been meaning to ask this one for months and keep forgetting. My screen wash stinks! Like rotten eggs nasty stink. I've emptied it, flushed it through, put fresh screen wash in within a matter of weeks it stinks again. Had teh same thing last summer when it smelt if cat pee. Now...

I see from numerous threads that seem to contradict each other depending on your vehicle around the general suitability of K&N filters for the Disco 1. Can I please ask someone who has one how they have found it, I'm avoiding the BPart one as very few people (including my local dude) has...

Found this today, blown away by it. Very inspirational. BBC News - Gunther Holtorf's 23-year road trip

Hello immensely wise and wondrously wobbly ones. I'm struggling a bit here and hitting a wall of stoopid on my side, what is the "technical" name for the velvety piece in the door frame that window slides up? Mine are feckered in the top two inches of both passenger and drivers door and the...

Hi Chaps, I've owned my Disco for 2 years now and we have a love/hate relationship like all other Discos and their owners. My Disco's previous abuser only handed over 1 key and fob, not that unusual for a 12 year old vehicle. Now I had a new two button remote sorted at Johnstone and Perrott in...

Hi Guys, I know Sturox made a similar roof rack recently and a buddy of mine and I are going to start a similar project. The issue I have at the moment is that I found some really good drawings of the highlander (high) roof rack and now I've lost the url. (you may shout abuse about...

Hi Guys, I see a few threads on retro fitting A/C and it seems a tad complicated. Has anyone done this recently on a 300TDI? I'm looking for pit falls more than anything. I already have a full width I/Cooler so may need to reroute an A/C cooler. This is the second thing that's bugging me. If...

Hi Guys Had a dodgy incident on the way back from London to Cork last night. The fuel lines that are on top of the injectors (almost connecting them) split and I sprayed diesel every where. On the plus side it is now unlike anywhere in my engine will rust in a hurry :eek: but what are the...

Hi Guys, Following on from the Anglo-Bulgarian thread, I thought I'd take the hint and start this one. Anglo was a tad worried about the brilliant problem solving abilities of the bearded one on this forum as it only highlighted problems. So as one post already stated, he does 350 miles...

Hi Chaps and before anyone starts I have already done numerous searches :p I'm following the advice laid down by numerous bearded and sage like members who have gone before. I've WD40'd the linkages after crawling under the Disco and adding an extra arm joint. Still seems to be stuck, low...
