Magic, sounds a lot easier to me THANX

Does it not weep a bit at the join?

My swivel seals are leaking a bit but the swivel balls are OK. Can I replace them by unbolting the swivel from the axle and removing the complete hub with halfshaft entact? After removing the brake caliper etc.

Thanks guys I'll have another look

Pulled switch out of old scrap tdi bit could not see how to access bulb or maybe I'm thick!!

Does anyone know if you can replace the bulb in the heated rear screen switch and if so how? Mark:blabla:

:confused: V8i disco 1996 I used the "blink method to interrogate the ABS ecu and one of the codes was 4, 14 but this code is not listed. "14" codes all apprear to be related to the front left wheel sensor. Also got a code for brake pedal position, is this a common or intermittent fault...

Thanks, I am going to try the "blink" method tomorrow on my ABS by using a paperclip to bridge two terminals on the diagnostic plug.

bypass plug fitted and it started instantly happy days

Can anyone recommend a home diagnostics piece of kit to suit a D1 V8i The new Hawkeye hand held looks the job but is quite expensive for a D1 or am I just mean?? Will I need it in the future for say airflow meter probs etc and more ABS faults or is there a "Blink" method I can use for engine...

The key wears on the pump shaft (it's only a small piece of 3mm dia steel) which then allows the shaft to move forward. This happened to me last year and I shredded the belt but the pump was still working ok and no loss of fluid. Have a spare disco for parts so no cost.

Thanks Guys, I have ordered the bypass plug and will pull out the centre dash on Monday, doesn't take too long to do anyway and I will check the heater cable mounts when Im in there as they have a habbit of fracturing and leaving you with no temperature control.

Not on this V8, as I have not pulled the gubbins out yet. Have done it on my tdi though

Will get one and try it and hope it starts. It did this about 6 months ago and eventually started, same symptoms as tdi. I am hopeing it is not something else.

Does anybody out there know if the plug used to bypass the 300tdi alarm spider is the same part number as a V8? V8 will not turn over!! everything else is ok. I have fitted this plug to my tdi but was wondering if the V8 was different due to it having engine management etc. Also does...

Try glow plugging the engine about 3 times before starting to see if that helps. It works for me even though I replaced the glow plugs recently, it can be hard to start just glow pluging it once. You may be down on compression a bit depending on the engine mileage so you need a little more...

What you could do is remove the bolt and drill a small hole 3mm dia into the side of the threads at right angles to the bolt centre line. Only drill in say 4mm deep and then insert a piece of nylon plastic or similar (A piece of a BIC pen lid clip would do) into the hole leaving it sitting very...

I have disconnected many a disco battery and everything works again when you reconnect. The odd time I have had to press the button 3 times to lock the car and this seems to reset the alarm.

The only cure is to remove the complete headlining and remove the sunroof trays. Seal up the gaping gaps around the winder handle or electric motor mounting points and seal up all small holes in the pressing. Also seal where the clips hold in the roof blinds. Remove the plastic drain pipe...
