Well it passed with no reverse lights :). I think I'll wait a bit and see if I can get some spare time to get under the center console, thanks for the help mike. MOT was fine only problem was a rusty rear indicator mount and something similar on the rear number plate light. Pleasingly he...

Well I think I'll fook them orf till summer then. If there's not a problem on the disco then I'll be very suprised, still it's run well and started fine for 6 months so there's hope.

Fantastic! Well thats one problem mostly sorted then! Thanks for the info any on fixing it would still be appreciated. Gonna go search for a disco MOT thread.

Seriousley? I've only ever put one other car through an MOT and it passed straight away so to be honest I've very little idea of what will be checked. I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping as it's been too wet to do any serious car work since about December. I would still ike them to work...

:rolleyes: That's what I've been doing for a month or so now, as they gradually stopped working. Problem is it's MOT day on friday - suspect no reverse light may cause a slight problem!

Sorry to revive an old thread but I've got this reverse light problem on my 300tdi. Can someone please let me know where abouts this switch it is, how do I get to it to fix it? Thanks

I've got a copy of the haynes welding manual I downloaded from a link on here. Have to keep looking around I reckon - but probably wait till next spring and get one then. Rather get decent tools so shall steer clear of non gas then. As long as the hole on top of my wheel arch dosen't mean it...

I thought that too, but there's not many places local to me I'll have a scout round see if there's anywhere else. Still think that learning to weld would come in handy, reckon it'll save me a fair bit when the boot floor eventually gets done. Been scouting e-bay and reckon I can get one for...

Just been quoted £90 to weld in a plate at the top of a rear wheel arch on my disco. Was a bit more than I'd anticipated :(. The holes not huge. a few inches square, plus a bit after getting the grinder on it I suppose. Anyway think it'd be cheaper to buy a welder (and learn to weld), as my...

Still new to the site but I'd be interested. :) Unless they're really expensive or really rubbish.

I reckon thats spot on slob, my radiator is on it's last legs so I'm just patching it up but as the disco's a bit old various parts are probably getting due for a replacement - including a core plug. Right now though coolant loss is minimal and she seams to be running really well. So going to...

Thanks, I wouldn't have done anything without reading haynes 1st but at least not got too much oil. Cheers

Thanks Munster, I just need a resonable idea, I'd rather buy a bit more than too little and go back. Do you do the transfer box with the same stuff? Rave and haynes manual been left at home today, sorry.

does anyone know the quantity of oil I'll need to change the oil in my r380 gearbox? Near an auto shop today so may nip and get some MTF94 oil today.

My EGR plate arrived yeaterday, so hoping to get that fitted in a week or so (need an intercooler hose too though). I hoping just to get a little improvement as a part from leaking my 300tdi dosen't feel too bad to drive. I still think it's just wierd that EGR's arwe fitted at all when it's...

It's actually not as bad as I first thought, it dosen't seams to be leaking much now. I've got a slight drip but left a pan underneath and been checking coolant and not suffered any major loss. I considered some liquid metal stuff but had araldite in so had a go with that. Now I don't really...

I've got a 300tdi and I've just had my steering wheel on and off and the indicator stalk off. The horn button can be got out by prising back the covering on the wheel and working your way down to pop up the horn button. the horn button is in 2 parts I thought it was really easy till I popped...

Just ordered an EGR blanking plate ddin't realise I'd have to get a new hose too. :( Can it be done without a new hose as not seen it mentioned before?

Well thats not really worked :( Still got a slight dripping leak, I think when the engines not running and all the caps are on the cooling system it dosen't leak but it was definetly dripping when I went for a test drive last night. I reckon the only way to fix it is to take out the...

Well, it's not fixed yet. HAd to put the dash and wheel etc back on after going looking for the leak - thought it may have been from eater matrix, it wasn't. Other half walked out yestreday looked inside the car swore and went in slamming the door on the way, so thought it best to make it look...
