In my 300Tdi, you just pop off the three dials (may need a knife to lever them, then same for the fan speed control. There will then be two screws exposed, once they are removed the black front panel can just be removed by hand. There is only one bulb for this area, it is in the middle of...

My 97 ES will not blow hot air through the internal vents unless you are barrelling along on the motorway or a fast road. The engine heats up ok and the guage sits alright but even after getting through the vents on a good run, when you are stopped in traffic, after a while they go back to...

I just picked up a 1997 300tdi (ES) manual and have a few queries. I also have a 1994 300tdi which is heading for scrap (rust on chassis - otherwise ok). The back door won't open at all - is it easy to take the liner off and get at the linkages. The central locking on the front passenger...

Update Speaking a bit more to some places over here, it looks like a suitable 'donor' chassis might become available in the coming days. Has anyone experience of this? He said there are 14 main bolts, then the operation is simple, he has done a couple.

I have just been speaking to a local dealer who was having a look at my 94 Disco 300 Tdi who reckons that the chassis is fairly rotten with rust. I had a fair idea when we got it that this may be the case. There are other miscellaneous probs; kingpin bearing in steering shot, couple of hubs...

I have read references to waxoil with respect to the Discoverys. Am I wrong in assuming this is a protective coating tat can be applied to the undercarriage. Is it worth doing? How much does it usually cost and does anyone know where in Ireland you can get it done? Apols if this is a...

Discomania, Diamond Dave Thanks for the replies. Having driven it a bit more, there is very little power available and getting it above 3k rpm in 3rd or 4th is near impossible. 5th will only hold speed on a flat road. Apols for ignorance, but where is lift pump located? Is it in the...

Good morning. I picked up my new 94 300TDi manual last night, just over 100k miles and loads of service histroy. Really happy with it and it rides really well. Question I have is, the power seems to be really low. On a flat road, I can get it up to 65 mph (eventually) but when you hit any...

It was registered in mid August 94. Is there any difference in the interiors? When did the dashboards change (I have seen earlier ones with different ventilation controls and only two buttons either side of the main binnacle. The one I am looking at has the individual heat controls for...

Bit of a common denominator here, I am also coming from a Saab backgrond, although we are still keeping the Saab but getting rid of an old Audi A6 (96) for the disco

Hi guys, I am also in the same situation as Tony (was). I am looking at an M reg 1994 Disco, which has been here in Ireland for a couple of months. I like it and it drives well, price is a bit over €4k with 109k and huge amounts of paperwork. All the lights come on and go out on...
