So my wife's Disco overheated the other day when one of the bleed bungs disintegrated, having replaced the bung it still overheats after 5 or so miles. I suspect the head gasket has gone and am sourcing a recon head. However before I commit to all that work, it behaves it has classic symptoms...

Thanks for the reply, thats the price of a pint saved on the parts :)

My wife's 300 tdi disco is in need of a new head which I have sourced. However looking around I see Erling do composite type gasket and Victor Reinz do a multi layer metal gasket, what is the preferred option for the 300 tdi

V8 vogue whereabouts are you, if you post your location there maybe someone with a nano com or multiple vehicle faultmate local.

Yes Land Rover say that pch000330 is the replacement part but can't see how it will fit, let us know if you have any success

Yes part I ordered turned up yesterday and unfortunately despite not advertising on their website they ship PCH000330 and not PCH115700. I am either going to replace it with a run of silicone hose, or look around motorsport suppliers to see if I can make up a hardline myself.

Given I think the DSP amp in my 2002 P38 has given up the ghost, I was wondering of the comparability of other Harmon Kardon amps fitted to other models. At the minute I have XQK000110 fitted as I have the system with the extra rear tweeters and centre dash speaker. I know the standard DSP...

Clarky thanks for the response, I assumed the DSP menu not being available suggesting the head unit and Amp aren't talking to each other. Am I right in thinking that the pink and black wire is the comms link between the amp and head unit.

So I have no sound coming out of the speakers of my stereo on my 02 P38, and has been like this since I bought it earlier this year. Decided today to investigate a little today, I am yet to take the radio out, but I notice with the radio if I press the button next to the i, it just gives the...

V8 Vogue will post an update when the order I have placed arrives.

Agreed in fact I have changed the hose from top of the radiator to expansion tank as a pre-caution. A bit of research suggests part pch115700 the correct part and fingers crossed I have one on it's way to me.

Clarky unfortunately not as it is quite small so some micro bore may be the right diameter, however the plastic pipe for me has broken wherenit goes around the oil filler.

Yes I did consider that but ideally I would still need to connect the output from the top of the engine to the expansion tank. Unfortunatley because of where the pipe has broke I would still need to replace it, and the replacement one is moudled in a different shape to the original one so will...

Whilst fixing a water leak the other day I managed to break the plastic coolant that runs from the expansion tank to to the Throttle body. Having been to Land Rover I have got the replacment part but it doesn't look like it will fit the Thor V8 on the GEMS, and a quick check on Island 4x4...

Clarky yes happy wiring the inductors and capacitor in series, my days messing about with car stereo setups when i was younger and my electronic engineering degree has taught me that. In the long term I will probably so out a separate 4 channel amp and a small active sub to go where the factory...

Clarky thanks for the response I thought the tweeters had their crossover built into them but it's been a while since I had one of the mirror covers off. Have got a nice proper Alpine head unit sitting in the garage going spare, so will probably chuck that in and feed to some crossovers where...

Yes that is what I want to do, but trying to understand how the crossovers are done for the 3 speakers I have got in each door, as worst case I need to add some crossovers in between the new head unit and speakers.

Have read clarky's thread but as far as I can see that details getting rid of the factory headunit but retaining the Land Rover amp, where as I want to replace the head unit to get rid of the factory amp

So the DSP in my 02 Vogue has died and rather than risk a second hand one or pay 500 quid for a new one. I was thinking of putting in a aftermarket head unit and use it's internal amp or even with a separate amp, but before I embark on it does anyone know if the DSP has separate outputs for the...

Well think I have sorted, box is behaving correctly Sport mode works, message centre displays gear and kickdown is working. After testing the voltage with the engine running i am getting 14.04 volts, so had a look around no oil leaks around the connectors on the gearbox loom. However when...
