    blower motor/rusty screws

    Hi Folks, Just tried to remove the blower motor from my Disco, only to find the screws are very badly rusted, crumbling as soon as I touch them. Guessing there's been water getting in here and that's why the motor died. Any suggestions on how to get these out ? It's a pretty tight space and I'm...

    Clutch problem

    Just had this looked at by the local garage. They said it's the slave cylinder that's gone, but I'm as well having the clutch done too as there's not much difference once they strip it down to that level, and that if they don't do the clutch I'm liable to be back shortly with the clutch having...

    Clutch problem

    Will probably have to take it to the local garage, are we talking mega bucks ? My biggest concern there is that when they tell me what's wrong with it, they could be talking through a hole in their backside and I prob wouldn't know. Such is life I guess. Any volunteers to help me push it up...

    Clutch problem

    In the 3yrs I've had it, it's always had a bit of a slap going into 2nd.. which can be avoided by being really gentle on the clutch... spoke to a couple of people about it and was told it's common, don't worry about it too much...

    Clutch problem

    Hi Guys, I'm not the most mechanically minded, nor do I have experience of such things, so I'm hoping I can describe the problem, and maybe someone can suggest whether it's gonna be expensive, or really expensive.. ;) Just arrived home a short while ago, pulling into my parking space, pushed the...

    300tdi Heater problem

    Hi, The part I'm trying to get to is the white plastic housing which contains the slider switch, and the three dials that control the heater/aircon. I have checked all the fuses, one in the cabin and one under the bonnet for the fan/blower..sadly wasn't that simple. Far as I understand it, it's...

    300tdi Heater problem

    Hi Folks, Apologies if this has been covered, but whilst I found some similar threads, I didn't find an answer to my problem. The heater in my '98 300tdi packed in just in time for winter last year. After putting up freezing conditions and ice on the INSIDE of the windows, I decided I need it...
