Hello newb here with a 300tdi disco

Just saying hello to all the knowledgable peeps in the land rover world
I have been forced over by fate from the jeep scene please don't hold it against me .i bought a well use 94 300tdi in the best colour dirty and hope For years of trouble free service from it lol apart from the fact it needs a steering box any tips on doing this job would go along way.And what would be the best place to start for a non functioning temperature gauge
Thanks
David

Hi welcome to loonyzone. Steering box swaps are fairly simple, couple of tips I can pass on from doing my own swap; Firstly, when disconnecting the clamps from the steering shaft into the box, remove the bolts completely, I only loosened them at first, thinking this would work, then spent 30 mins trying to beat the clamp off the shaft with a mallet. :doh: Secondly, secure the box from above with something before undoing the last bolt, coz dropping it on your head REALLY fooking hurts! :doh::doh: As for temp gauge, check wires from sender to gauge, if they are ok, then test the sender.

Well box is ordered fun lies in waiting for the weekend
Where is the temp sensor located on the 300 tdi engine ??
