Hi I have the same disco. I had the same problem and then it stopped working all together. The previous owner had had the alternator changed renewed but hadn't refitted the heat refelctor onto the back of it. The result being that over a period of time the heat from the manifold melted the...

I changed the standard suspension on my 98 300tdi ES. Now running with De-carbon shocks and steering damper, uprated front springs and heavy duty rears. Road handling is a lot better would definately recommend this as a potential upgrade. Mark

Thanks for the replies both You have certainly given me food for thought, I can see a lot of pro's but big financial con's. Soon be Christmas, must give me wife a list ...............:) Regards Mark

Evening everyone. I'm going for the concensus of opinion on here and looking to change my exhaust system to give better towing capabilities. I have a 1998 R plate 300tdi auto, with cat. Where do I get a replacement straight through system , or what does a rookie like me need to do ...

Just a quick question. Reading through the various threads, it would appear that most of you recommend changing the standard fan for an electric version, EG Kenlowe. My question is - Is it still ok to change the fan when the car is being used for towing ( twin axle caravan ). For reference...

Hi, I have a 1998 R plate with 116k. It has been serviced regular and runs very well and very quiet. When I first got it I had a full service and cam belt change as the previous owner couldn't remember when he had it changed. One word of advice though, I bought a set of glow plugs off...

Widget, You have restored my faith :-) Thanks for the reply. Mark

Had new alternator fitted three weeks ago. Have put a meter across the glow plugs and am getting an 11.9 reading across all four clicking on and off with the relay. Thanks for your interest. Mark

Hi I have a 1998 300tdi ES auto with aircon. I have changed the glow plugs but I am having problems starting from cold. It takes a couple of attempts and when it does kick in a cloud of smoke comes out the back, then no smoke and it runs fine. Once warm starts no problem first kick. Any...

Hi I have found out yesterday that I have a leak on my air con. Traced it back to a pipe that leads from the condenser to the filling valve about 200mm from the bulkhead. Been to the main dealer and you've guessed it mega bucks. Does anyone have any ideas or know any breakers / suppliers...

HI Thought I would hitch a ride on this thread. I have a 1998 300tdi with aircon. What types of power upgrade are available to me and where can I source the bits. Would prefer to carry out the mods myself as much as poss so no re-mapping at this stage:confused: Excuse my ignorance but if...

Hi Everyone yet another Landy Zone newbie saying hello. Always been interested in Land Rovers , to date I've had two 3.5 and one 3.9 Range Rover classics. My current car is a 1998 Discovery 300tdi ES - Love it to bits but want to play with it through upgrades etc. I am a complete novice...
