Can anyone tell me where the alarm/imobilizer is on a 1992 v8 please? I am not a car thief, honest! It's my mates disco, its stuck in my workshop and I need the room to get mine welded. Cheers Ian

I have never heard of cold shock being caused by the air being drawn in, the air from the turbo can be over 150 deg C and even an infinitely large intercooler can not cool the oar below the ambient air temperature so its probably good going to get the temp down near 50 or 60 deg C. Air has a...

Yes petrol engines will run hotter when lean and diesels run hotter when richer. In a diesel engine it is all about the fuel, the more you have the more power you will get even to the point when you get loads of smoke you will still get more power but just less efficiently and you will get...

Yes it can, it runs on the oil vapour getting up past the rings. It is not as dramatic as the turbo seals but still not good. The pressurized crank case and the fact it lasted long enough to post the question point to the rings. It can often start gradualy with the first signs being a bit...

It sounds like gummed up piston rings. Get a leak down test done. Do you run on veg?

Ye, I wouldn't call it pretty. I do intend making a standard-ish looking alloy bumper with a hidden winch. sort of stealthybut able to drive threw a house.

This is what was on my car when I got it. It's very solid & makes my pals one look like a bit of plumbing.

I have been making Biodiesel for nearly five years and have used veg oil as well. The 200 and 300TDI is a Direct Injection engine and should not be run on 100% veg oil without being twin tanked to start up and shut down on normal diesel but can run happily on a blend probably up to 70% veg oil...

I read somewhere about someone relocating there expansion tank nearer the bulkhead possibly to where the washer bottle is to raise it up a bit reducing the risk of air getting trapped elsewhere in the system. Has anyone seen this, think it’s a good idea? Or would I be better just fitting a cap...

Cheers guys I started making up plates for it last night but I am going to have to cut it back above where the seats and seatbelt brackets go so it’s going to be a bit awkward. I will get some pictures up when I’m done.

I wouldn’t mind a look at any plans you come up with. I have a pretty good workshop myself and access to my works machine shop and tinsmiths workshop so I can make pretty much anything. Once I have finished welding the rusty beast up I might have a go at making a fairly standard looking but...

After stupidly thinking I only had a couple of small bits to patch on the rear floor of my 95 disco I have now found that the bottom two inches of both rear inner panels behind the little rear seats is completely rusted away right from the rear corner to the rear door pillar so I have a lot more...

Cheers guys, If doesn't sound like too hard a job and thankfully not expensive either.

Hi all, I have just bought a 1994 disco 300tdi manual and am having trouble selecting gears. The gearbox seems good in every other way, changes down to 2nd without crunching but the stick dose not centre and I have no clue which gear I’m selecting including going into reverse in stead of first...

Hi all, just bought my first disco today for the princely sum of £580. It's not perfect as you can imagine but it runs well and is not too rusty. As for me the only 4wd I have had before was an early Fourtrak so the disco is almost luxury in comparison, I have worked as a mechanic on...
