    screech when turning left - steering box?

    Does it make the sound when you turn the steering at a stand still lock to lock or does it only do it when moving . I would more likely think it could be a hub bearing . Have you jacked up the front axle and checked the front wheels for play ?

    Disco Woes

    I agree with lyron . Check you have power to glow plugs before anything else . If you do have power . Make shaw you batt has plenty of power to get a good cranking over . And then try the purge again .

Try standing on your bumper and bouncing it ,to see if you can get it to do it again (engine off) they are very easy to change yourself if you can hold a spanner and use a trolley jack and axle...
