    annoying shakes...

    check your prop shafts for play in the joints (sideways movement, not turning movement)

    Thud Clank Clunk Clutch

    Sounds like mine was before I got a new mainshaft & transfer gear fitted but that was a 200tdi 150k miles. It will probably last for ages yet, I only got mine done because my clutch was knackard and the boxes had to come out anyway. I saw the mainshaft that came out, it had worn away to points...

    12000 mile Service

    I agree with the other guys, do the servicing yourself, at least you know it will get done properly. I serviced my 200Tdi with no previous experience of servicing cars and found it pretty easy following the Haynes manual. I suspect with mine despite having a load of service history, not...

    Fuel Tank - Wot's this pipe?

    At a guess, it's probably a breather pipe to let air into the tank as the fuel is used up.

    new clutch & mainshaft

    No I wouldn't say it was juddering like there was any power loss, just a feeling of vibration through the steering wheel and the dash & wing mirrors shake. I was just wondering if the prop shafts were put on the same way they came off, but if they were out of balance, I'd expect the vibration...

    new clutch & mainshaft

    Got my 200Tdi a new clutch assembly and mainshaft and am now skint:( but my disco drives much better and much quieter so overall I'm happy. However, I've now got a wierd vibration that only happens in high range in 3rd, 4th, 5th. The vibration is worst at 2000rpm and tails off as the engine...

    Clutch bearing

    Hi all, a while ago I posted about my engine being noisy in neutral with clutch up, quiet when depressed, and a few people said it was the clutch bearing. Now it's starting to sound really ropey so I think it's time to bite the bullet, so: 1. Anything else I should have done while the box is...

    power drop off at 2500rpm?

    94L 200Tdi 150k miles - from about 1800 - 2500 rpm the turbo gives a nice boost to power. At about 2500 it drops off noticeably but I can still hear the turbo working and still get reasonable power up to about 3000 rpm when I guess the turbo drops out. Is this normal? Air and fuel filters...

    Biting the bullet and servicing

    200Tdi sump capacity is 6.9 litres (including oil filter), according to the haynes manual. Sounds about right, I did mine a few months ago.

    Car making funny noises ...eek !

    Hi, I've got a '94 200Tdi 150k miles which makes the clunking noises you're talking about. I get a quiet click when the clutch goes down, another one when the gear goes in and then a big one when the clutch comes out again (the faster it comes out, the bigger the clunk). All these are...

    rear door clicking

    Don't open the rear door. All discos I've opened the rear door on do this (my disco1 and 2 people I know with disco2s). Something to do with the door holding itself open at one or two points as you open it.

    Aw, but puddles are fun. I'll check everything around the alternator to make sure nothing is looking dodgy. Cheers.

    Lost all Drive (Help Please)

    Got anywhere with this fox? As James suggests, first thing is to check if you can move with diff lock on. With no diff lock, if something's wrong in one of the axles I think the attached prop shaft will turn when in gear but you won't move. That's why you need diff lock, it will make both...

    Battery light

    Hello. I drove fast through a big puddle today and the battery light came on for about 10 seconds, then went off. Presumably some water got somewhere it shouldn't - any ideas where and if it's worth doing something about it, or should I just avoid the puddles in future :confused:

    Rear floor RIP

    Thanks boggled. I took the mat out to have a good look and it's a real mess down one side and both the side floor sections are **** as well. Did you have to replace the internal wheel arches too and was that tricky?

    Rear floor RIP

    Crikey, BB's makes mine look brand new! Did the missus know about this planned summer/autumn/winter project? Boggled, that rear body crossmember is the bit with the sticking up part that the sealing rubber mounts over, right? That was the bit I was most worried about since it looks attached...
