    as many ways as possible to increase mpg

    I used to get from Canterbury to just outside of Lincoln which is about 188 miles on quater tank. driving about 65-68 MPH, which for a disco aint to bad. just hurts a little when you go to the pump. 90 litre tank @ £1.18 per litre.

    300tdi cutting out

    My mates did this, his was a N reg 96'. turns out it was the fuel solenoid so we hard wired a switch direct from the battery, just incase we were in traffic. He replaced it, was a right pain in the backside though..

    Sump, Cracked slightly

    Hi Matey, found this on the net. Hope it helps. The 300Tdi engines should not have a gasket - they have always used RTV type sealant. If a gasket is fitted that is probably why its leaking - the design of the mating face on the sump pan is not flat as it is not intended for a gasket. Take...

    Few small problems

    the fuel sender unit could be knackered, making the needle show empty hence the red light on. and the heater could have air lock or blocked heater matrix, could try bleeding the system of air. can be a pain in the arse. have a look a previous thread on here about it.. Oh and welcome Stu

    '97 R Reg Disco - Fly by wire or not?

    I think the only disco's that have ECU's are from '99 when it changed to the TD5. I could be wrong so take it with a pinch of salt... Stu
