Probably not connected, but where the seat bar that you pull up to move the seat backwards and forwards is connected to the seat, the square pegs loosen off after a while, and it causes an annoying vibration that hits the spot at about the same revs (normally at gear change, or motorway...

I injected clear silicon sealant under the alpine window seals, after having cleaned out the rust underneath said seals with jenolite rust remover. In addition, I ran some of the silicon sealant down the trough of the gutters, where you can't see it (after cleaning the troughs with a rag and...

Be nice!!

First of all, check to see if you have an EGR fitted. A lot of UK cars didn't have them fitted (not required) but I'm not sure which date they were filtered out. I have attached (hopefully) an image of the area where the EGR goes, and you'll see the blanking plate just below the rocker cover...

Yep, James is right; there is a largeish plastic covered spade connector on the back of the alternator. Check to see if it is loose, clean up the contacts and add a bit of electrolube for good measure. If that doesn't cure it, the problem is probably with your brushes, and I know that they can...

When I took mine off, it came away relatively easily with a bit of a tug and twist. However, the one I replaced it with had to come off again, and the Halfrauds stuff I used to stick it on in the first place was so good that a piece of glass came away with the mirror! :eek: If the mirror...

At first glance, not a huge amount, well under £1000. Depends a bit on mileage, service history, bodtwork condition, etc, but from the look of it, only someone who wanted to use it for offroad purposes would want it, and that severely limits your clientele base. If everything is average, then...

You might want to clean out the sedimenter, flush the intercooler, remove the EGR valve and fit a blanking pate (if your Disco has an EGR valve fitted), replace the fuel filter, replace the air filter and carry out an engine service (engine/gearbox oil change mainly - use the correct oils...

You might want to specify which type, auto or manual. Plus, don't 300tdi's have different boxes than 200tdi's? I seem to recall reading a recent post (today) from someone scrapping his tdi, not sure which type though. Have a browse through the site.

I would say dearer!

:eek: Was that the one I bought down near Southampton? Blue, '94, auto, a/c?

Sounds like a dodgy connection to me. If it were the regulator, wouldn't the lights just be dimmer than normal? I say that because thats exactly what happened to my car, lights were dim (plus the battery warning light came on sporadically). When the alternator was replaced, all problems...

Yep, happened in an old auto of mine, just lost all drive. Turned out the garage who had just serviced it mistook the engine oil plug for the transmission oil. Someone drained the transmission oil, plugged it up and then another guy came along and checked the engine oil and thought that the...

If you need a new head, then there are new heads available on Ebay for under £300.

Front down pipe is cheap to replace, there are some cheap new ones on Ebay (or were when I last looked), but LR Independents can normally get these for under £100.

That's a lot of money for the car, even for an ES! :eek: Is it from a dealer? My '94 300tdi (with the comfort pack and air con) was immaculate when I bought it 5 months ago, and it cost me £2750. It had 101,000 miles, with 80,00 main dealer serviced. If I were considering that Disco, it...

Look at my previous 2 posts again, but try it from a different perspective. As I see it, what you have written is what I have tried to put across, albeit badely. I think a novice would understand my version better than yours, and a novice is what I be. At least, I understand my version more than...

The head face isn't flat if it is warped. Once you skim the head surface, you remove a certain amount of material which lessens the space that the piston can travel into, hence the need to put back that original 'space', by adding a thicker gasket.

Can anything be done with a '94 auto? I have an early model 300tdi.

Hi Mark, have you noticed any significant drop in mpg? What are you getting from a tank full?
