My 300TDI has been sat for a couple of months due to a clutch issue but when driving it was a bit sluggish. I've never driven a Landrover before but other turbo diesels you can tell when the turbo is coming in. Is there a way to test mine on a Disco?

I've seen the excellent how to for replacing a clutch but had a few questions for those who have done it. 1. I don't have an alignment tool for the clutch, what part is used to make this, is it the end of a crank shaft, what is it called? Are there any alternatives? Is it worth just doing...

I've looked a couple of times now, mine is loose and reception is rubbish but how the hell do you get to it??? I can trace the wire going through a rubber grommet but not actually how to get access between the bulkhead and wing?

My Disco is drivable again but i'm not convinced the clutch is completely free of air. I was using a basic Draper 1-man bleed bottle with non-return valve and cycled quite a bit of fluid without really getting any result. I possibly wasn't waiting long enough at the top of each stroke? I then...

Was under the disco last night and saw a little wheel, about 6" attached to the steering damper? Looks a bit like a jockey wheel, wasn't turning but was a bit gunked up.

Is it a bad idea to raise the suspension on a Landy if it is to be used for towing? I'm talking towing boats and cars via an a-frame, not a lightweight trailer of garden waste. I'd like my Landy to be multi purpose!

When I got my '95 Disco 1 the clutch pedal was quite low, it only has around 4" movement to the floor and is very heavy. It's so low it doesn't get to the point where the return spring pops the pedal right the way back out. I got in a few days ago and the pedal was on the floor. I've bled...

As an new landy owner i'm not sure how loud they usually are but my M Reg 300TDI makes quite a lot of noise when the engine is pulling, the same through the gears/rev range. In neutral and even when freewheeling in gear it isn't much different to a regular car. I know you are sitting on the...

Tried this today and it just wouldn't budge! Not helped by the fact you can only get a spanner on it rather than a socket. Any tips? Is it easier to drop the prop shaft out of the way? The filler loosened really easily but I was using an 18" ratchet handle with the torx bit. Also, to...

The steering on my Disco is a bit loose, there seems to be some play in the steering wheel. I'm going to take a look at this later when my girlfriend is back to give me a hand (can't move steering wheel and look underneath at the same time, any other ways to do this singlehanded?) Track rod...

I have seen a roof rack for sale not too far away from me (although not close enough to go and try it) but the seller has advertised it as being off a Disco 2 and has no idea if it would fit a Mk 1. It is a gutter mount and looking at other roof racks many seem to fit both 1 & 2 series. Is...

I have noticed that the top half of the clutch pedal movement is extremely soft as if nothing is moving then the actual clutch movement is in the bottom half of the travel. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how it can be resolved, the car is driving fine except for a slightly...

I think that's what it's called, the hose from the Rocker Cover that does down to mid-engine? Mine is split but it also appears to be far too big in diameter. It was a very loose fit and the jubillee clips seem to be near half the O/D of the hose when tightened. I have measured the fitting...

When I removed the sump plug from my Disco I 'missed' the bucket so got a really good squirt of oil all over the drive. I used newspaper to wipe up excess oil but there is still a big oily patch. What is the best way to clean this. I have a pressure washer. I would prefer to use household...

Hi all, I was just about to register to ask about a missing drain plug in my gearbox but google found the same issue on here, the one that isn't actually a drain plug and is supposed to be open! I have just bought a 1995 Discovery 300TDi which was sold as spares/repairs due to 'knackered...
