Just put the car into an independant for a service and MOT. I've just had a call saying that its failed the test because of a diesel leak and it needs a "fuel block" They reckon £80 + vat and an hours fitting. They got me by the gonads cause its failed the test but what the hell is a "fuel block"?

Well Fred, I tried the yellow plug thing, it worked for a while then does it intermittently. I havent looked at the wing thing yet but what I did notice is that if I open the glove box then slam it, the light comes on so thats got to be something to do with it. I have eventually got round to...

Good on yer! sounds like a top spec motor...enjoy!

THANKS FOR THAT, i HAVE JUST HAD A BUTCHERS IN THE hAYNES MANUAL AND IT SAYS A HYDRAULIC PRESS IS REQUIRED TO REMOVE & REFIT THE BUSHES, IS THIS TRUE OR JUST OVERKILL??

The plot thickens...I have noticed that the whole motor has a slight vibration that is as though the car is travelling across an uneven road surface. Any advise would be apreciated.

I have had the disco 2 years now and the headlight wash has never worked. I have eventually decided to have a look at it and my question is: How do you check a relay with multi metre (if possible) Thanks, Paul

I recently went to a 4 wheel alignment specialist in Norwich. I asked the fella in charge what he thought of disco 3's. He said that off the record he knows that they suffer terribly from steering geometry and he does a hell of a lot of alignments for the local stealer "Hunters". He said that...

Have noticed that the steering on my 2001 td5 es has become a bit vague over the last few weeks. It seems that it is becoming more and more difficult to keep it in a straight line without constant correction. I'm also getting a bit of wheel wobble at about 40mph. I have done the obvious and...

I aint got the bottle to work it out on our 72 swb s3, in case I **** me pants....but I know it aint good. Mind you, it aint a daily driver so what the ****, its the price you pay for wanting to drive an old landy from time to time

Anyone tell me if the front fog lights on the td5 are the same as the ones used on a range rover. They look the same shape but I aint sure. Ta, Paul
