    No Brakes!

    Have you tried disconecting the plug that comes of the ABS block betwween the washer bottle and the air filter? That is what was diconnected on mine and I never had a prob then. Red and black wires or red and brown... only two of them. Try it you might stop.

    No Brakes!

    Serious now. MattB When your pedal only moves a bit do you mean about 10% of the pedal travel, meeting resistance and now braking power, if you are then I think we are both in deep stuff. I now test brake before I need to brake properly. Sorry if your following. P.s. Someone once said only dead...

    No Brakes!

    The wires go into a metal block with metal pipes coming out of it. It is between the washer bottle and air filter housing.

    No Brakes!

    ABS light not on all the time but was when I bought it, they had it repaired before I picked it up, now still no light unless they have removed the bulb! Does your pedal go solid and metallic feeling, like a push bike with no rubber brake pads......Before you ask pads on the disco are good.

    No Brakes!

    Got a bit more info now. Put the trailer on tonight to take down the yard and found that with the trailer connected if I press the brakes the dash lights came on dimly also the heater control lights the same. Does this mean that I have a Knackered earth in my trailer socket on the disco or could...

    What MPG can you realistically get from a Landy/Disco?

    94 M 300 tdi. I get anywhere between 25-30 mpg and this after tweaking the pump, filter and pipe. I tow quite regularly (2.5) tons and feel this is not bad when I sit on the mway at 80mph. My advice is BF goodrich a/ts and blow them up hard if on the road and do not rev the bugger or try to whup...

    No Brakes!

    Driving down the road, go to brake in my Disco 300TDI 94 m reg and I am met with a grinding, buzzing vibration from the dash area. No brake pedal travel and no power to my brakes..... I could not stop! It felt like the ABS was coming on but I was not braking hard and was on good tarmac when it...

    Hi, I have a 94 300 tdi Disco with no instrument panel back lighting including the clock. Also left indicator flashes on the dash on its own yet right one flashes trailer light as well even when the trailer is not connected. Other than these snags I do not seem to have any other probs. Can...

    300 TDI Heavy Accelerator Action

    Hi, I too recently brought a 94 disco tdi 300 and had the same feeling. I went down the route of finding more power by tweaking the fuel pump and fitting a EGR plate. Now the pedal feels lighter as you do not have too push as hard to get the ponies, Wah lah. Find out about EGR Plates and fuel...

    Wooly Whining Disco 300 TDI

    I have a 94 M reg Disco and the throttle pedal seems heavy and hard to push and the engine has a reluctance to spin up and reach power fast. If towing 2.5 tons it is hard to pull away on the flat in 1st h/r. Any ideas? Also there is a slight whine from the boxes, it is there in most gears but...

    Off Roading In Wales

    Hi, I recommend Wentwood forest just next to Penhow(A48 Newport to Chepstow) and the hills and mountain above Cwmbran. Also check out the gap rd route from Hirwaun to brecon and back via Talybont. I take my disco and KTM 200 exc on these routes and have a blast. ta
