As you do with landies got out of it today and thought smells a bit and patch of oil under. Thought to myself its a landie what do you expect. But on closer inspection found that the fuel system is leak at the pump. See photos. Couple of question. 1 I have taken a spanner to it...

Just contemplating a bit of tinkering which will hopefully Guinea bit more power for towing boat. What are the relevant advantages/disadvantages to cleaning or blanking the ear.

I want to get my sills repaired a bit if welding needs doing or replaced. anyone know a good welder in east london or Essex

Two parts to this query. 1. I have a n reg 300 very tidy car very little rust but the two sills need replacing/repair. I have been told to just write it off which is not acceptable. What I am looking for is someone who will give a sensible quote for the work. I am in east London/Essex...

I have the rear bumper off at the moment and was looking at the end of the chassis nice big hole. I was wondering if it was worth chucking some old oil I have lying about down in the chassis to slow the rust.

Adrian flux for me £250 has been the cheapest for 5 years

I am looking at removing the plastic sills and the bit of plastic on the bumper. No problem with them have already ordered new clips. ( doing a bit of rust prevention treatment.) Can't see how to remove the end caps on the rear bumper though. Is there a way to do with out removing the whole...

can you elaborate for me what exactly did you do. In simple terms for me please

what do you mean with the stop solenoid can you elaborate on exactly what you did to sort it out.

i have had poor start issues lately. I have eliminated fuel problems. I have to run the glow plugs 3 times in order to get it to start and it does so with no problem but 2 glows is not enough this problem only occurs after it has stood overnight. Now to day I have changed the cheap plugs...

My next thing to try I am getting to the opinion that it is either compression or injectors. I want to try and sort is as I have rare beast of a n plate 300 tdi that is rust free. Anyone know a decent trustworthy mechanic to get this done in east London or essex

As you say used to start with out the glow plugs so I done't think they are the problem. As to fuel I have done loads got clear pipes no bubbles. It is weird that if I run the glow plugs 3 times it starts just the same as it used to. First turn of the key. It is an annoying problem because it...

Cranks fine. Tested with new battery and once the glow plugs have been run three times it starts as always used to.

I am reasonably happy that it is not fuel. The only but problem I can think of is the injectors. I have toyed with the idea of cylinder head I am semi considering getting it skimed but that seems expensive.

its a 96 N reg so don't know if EDC no battery problems only 1 year old and been tested.

New lift pump fitted glow plugs are reading 9.4V when on .

I have a n reg disco with 116K on the clock. Over the last 6 months it has been a bit of apig to start. It always used to just start straight away on the turn of the key no waiting for glow plugs. Then almost overnight it got really poor. I have done the fllowing to no avail. New glow...

I am not losing water and can smell that the white smoke is desiel. I have thing about the glow plugs but it was happening before I figured new ones. But they may of been the problem else where in the circuit. How do itest them safely. The thought of buffering about with hot glow plugs...

I have had my disco for 4 years now and it has always started first turn of the keys no matter what the weather. But about 6 months ago that stopped and it now take 15-20 seconds of cranking before it will start. It then chucks outa a load of white smoke which is the desiel that has not been...

I have a P reg disco. I have only used the dif lock once in the snow and again today on the beach. problem is it took ages to get it out of the diff lock and get the yellow light to go out it took a considerable effort lots of pressure to move the small gear lever from lock to unlock and then...
