Useful info. One headlight on my 300tdi does this, too. I'll try pulling the breathers and see how it helps.

Are the 300tdi dash switches the ones that fit around the instrument cluster ? A couple of mine have gone 'sticky' on me.

Ye gods I wish all Landrover fixes were that cheap and simple :)

Ah, 70mph... this might be a significant factor. Lighter right foot might help :) You seem to be doing most of the right stuff already: high quality parts in the ignition circuit as essential, especially with LPG which is harder to ignite than petrol. I used to have a 3.5 v8i and running...

Didn't realise it was a D2. Something not to need to worry about then.

Just an update on this. Took a bit more than half an hour :) but that was mainly due to difficulties getting the bolts out. First problem I had was getting the bolts out so I could remove the pulley from the PAS pump. Working on my own I couldn't get enough leverage on the crowbar to hold the...

A-frame balljoint worn? Might be more of a klunk though.

Useful to know as I might have to replace my rad soon. [managed to pinhole it when I was replacing the PAS pump]

Brilliant! Landrover people, you're fantastic! Off to Ebay I go. 32mm it is. Yes I'd spotted the LH thread gotcha. Wonder how many people that's caught out?

Thanks for all the input, guys, I'll try bleeding it first although if there's are in the system it's getting in somewhere as it's been fine until a few days ago. Maybe a split hose? If the proper spanner is only a few quid then it's worth buying rather than mangling one of my spanners. Can...

Hmmmm... let's just re-cap on that last posting: I checked the fluid when the car had been standing a while. I've just manouvred the old girl into the barn to get a better look at the job in hand and with the bonnet up I immediately heard the sound of fluid dripping onto the floor beneath the...

Thanks Paul, I have a 30/32mm spanner that's already reasonably thin, so hopefully won't need much grinding. Yes, I checked the fluid, just in case. No sign of any fluid loss - just a horrible noise - and with the roads round here I'm not taking chances on it failing and me becoming part of...

Thanks folks. I'm confident I can do it from what you've all said. I had a quick look in the Haynes 'Book of Lies' about removing the fan and it talks about using a 'special slim open-ended spanner' to remove the nut. That's the only bit that gives me pause for thought. I suppose I could...

Brilliant! That's just what I wanted to hear. Mechanically I'm pretty good, having kept my Landies going over the years and rebuilding motorbike engines, but never done one of these before. Into the shed the old girl goes tomorrow then, to begin the strip down process ready for when the...

The power steering pump on my '95 300tdi is in the last throes of dying. It's making horrible grinding noises when you turn the wheel. Now, on a scale of 1 to 10, how big a job is changing it? I'm reasonably handy with spanners and sockets but are there any 'gotchas' I need to be aware of...

Useful info. Something to stick at the back of my mind, just in case..

Thanks for the Ebay link. Looks likely to be the culprit. Didn't want to take it all to bits only to find I needed a part, so have to put it all back together again till part arrives, then take it all apart again, etc, etc...

I've got a small problem with my tatty old 300tdi Disco in that the indicators don't auto-cancel. In fact if I signal, say, right and do a full 180 degree turn the indicator stalk flicks right round so the indicators flash left at the end of the manouvre. The previous owner said it had had...

Just to confirm, the rear wash/wipe on our old Zafira conked-out a couple of years back. It passed two subsequent MOTs without comment.

Is this the factory sealed master/slave clutch assembly ? I once replaced one of these on my old 1.8 Freelander and everything went together fine. In the event it turned out not to be hydraulics anyway and the spare one is still hanging on a nail in the shed.
