    Fuel tank woes

    Thanks Discool. Think it will be a replacement tank in the end. Immediate problem is not having enough saucepans to drain the fuel into ;)

    Fuel tank woes

    Got a wee bit of a fuel tank problem and hoping that the wise ones will be able to help. Filled up yesterday and when I got home there was diesel dripping from the rear nearside. When I say dripping I mean it had obviously been ****ing out as the chassis rail and rear silencer were soaked...

    Sluggish disco.........not any more!

    Thought I'd give this a go today and certainly improved the low down pick up - Result! Needed two full turns on the torx screw mind, and not a trace of smoke. Probably more to go then? Have turned the star wheel round one-and-a-half turns, still no smoke, and the diaphram 120 degrees or...

    Trim clip part numbers

    Thanks sierrafery. That's a very handy link, but ... I can see the exact bit I need, item numbered 11 on the Discovery 1 Body Trim Rear page K01.015, but no part number that I can see. :( Am I missing the obvious? :confused:

    Trim clip part numbers

    300tdi steering wheel

    soggytomato, from what I understand the Metro wheel fits the 200tdi, not 300tdi - gathe rthis is a spline issue. Don't know about the other Rover wheels but imagine that there must be some inter-changeability between models.

    300tdi steering wheel

    Had the same problem on my non-airbag 300tdi. Bought a Rover 100 1.4 wheel off e-bay the other day. Same number of splines, fits well and importantly for me is about 2" less in diameter which makes steering a lot easier and saves the elbow on the door. Have a look at Disco Steering pictures...

    Thanks for that Short Round. Will see how I get on with my 5 quid Rover wheel, but the link to the 95-04 boss could well prove useful.

    300tdi steering wheel query

    Just fitted a wheel from a Rover 100 1.4. Fits a treat and is about 2 inches less in diameter, just what I wanted. Only possible issue is that wheel doesn't sit quite as far down the column as the stock wheel which means that the nut won't wind on quite as far. Will probably need a touch of...

    Better late than never

    Hi all, made my first post yesterday so thought I'd best introduce myself properly. Have a '96 Disco 300TDi which I bought in November and which, as far as I know, is totally standard. In other words standard leaky sunroof, standard soggy carpet, standard rust and corrosion, standard broken...
