    Internittent start, no power and lots of blue/black smoke

    Thinking about it, it wasn't the top of the piston but I can't think the exact term used :o. The garage is an independant Land Rover specialist but they are not that 'small'.

    Internittent start, no power and lots of blue/black smoke

    I decided to cut my losses and took my Disco to a Landy garage this morning, expecting to be told pretty much the same as on here. WRONG! It looks like it is a more serious problem with the pistons and is going to cost me £300 labour for them to remove top of piston to check and then the cost...

    Internittent start, no power and lots of blue/black smoke

    I've looked (and looked) for the Turbo Hose and despite also consulting my Haynes disco manual I am at a loss as to where it is. I have posted a picture of my injun and am hoping some kind fellow can give me a better idea where to look! Cheers

    Internittent start, no power and lots of blue/black smoke

    My '94 300Tdi has really been playing up of late. In the cold she has taken a few turns of the key to get going but as it has been very cold I wasn't too worried. Today after usual start I filled her up and when I came back to park it she didn't have enough power to drive up the very gentle...

    Heater matrix

    I want to check that the reason my heater doesn't heat is the possibility of an air lock in the system. I know that in order to fix this I need to disconnect the matrix hose but despite looking in both Discovery service manuel and Haynes book I'm no wiser as to wear this hose is! Can anybody...

    Removing rear (boot!) seats

    I have spent about an hour today trying to get my hand in behind one of the side facing rear seats in my '94 Discovery to change a tail light bulb, I eventually conceded defeat. I have decided to remove both of the boot seats but as no manual was forthcoming when I bought the Disco a few months...

    What do you get on a full tank ??

    I've got a '94 300Tdi and have recently started putting Reddex into tank when I fill up. Am currently on second full load and half a tank has so far got me 240 miles, a mixture of about 75% A roads at 50 and 60mph and 25% town driving at 30mph.

    Missing bulb?

    I own a '94 300 Tdi and from what I've read on the net in the last week or so I am lead to believe my Discovery should not only have tail lights in the bumper but also in the rear light cluster. I got into the cluster (a major undertaking because of fold up seats in the boot) and although there...

    I own a '94 Discovery 300tdi and a couple of days ago when driving in the rain I noticed a damp patch above the top right corner of the front windscreen. The damp patch is only about 4 inches wide by 2 inches and am hoping this can be easily and cheaply fixed, can it or should I take it to a...

    Rusty boot floor

    My recently purchaysed '94 Discovery has rust on the boot floor, 3 patches covering about 30cm square in total. Obviously that means there will be rust underneath the floor as well but apart from the tin of Waxoyl I've got how is it best to clean this little lot up and stop it from happening...
