    Disco 1 300 tdi auto (the dreaded EDC) won't start...

    If the gearbox sensor is at fault it will not turn over at all, you should get diesel pumping out of the injector lines when its turned over. you could check under the glove box as there is an alarm box under there that can fill with water as mine did, I got another box from a scrapyard but...

    Tyre fitting service wiltshire?

    Hi, Going to be getting some new tyres from the internet, can anyone recommend a company that will fit them for me at a reasonable price? Near Devizes would be good but I don't mind a bit of a trip, if it matters they will be fitted to empty steel rims so no tyre to come off or dispose of. Cheers

    200tdi injector pump bolts rounded off

    strip it all down and use grips. I see from your picture you have removed the center nut, this is not a good idea as if the flange comes off the shaft you will lose your timing, the pump should be locked with the locking bolt before this nut is removed. you don't need to remove it to remove...

    Disco 300tdi - clouds of smoke out the back : (

    check your turbo hose's have not de-laminated inside, this would cause a intermittent restriction on air flow and result in a lot of smoke.

    replacing edc pump on 300tdi

    sounds like the timing belt is rubbing, not long before the belt snaps and you have busted camshaft/valves to sort out. Personally i would not be starting it until i have investigated the belt issue further.

    replacing edc pump on 300tdi

    it only has to be locked while the flange is off, yours should have the flange fitted ready to go.

    unless you use your injection pump to fry chips in it won't knacker it, millions of miles have been done on bosch ip's and the only thing that fails are the seals, they can be changed for the cost of a tank full of fuel that you are not buying anymore. now there may be issues with ring gumming...

    you don't need to keep receipts, you do need to keep records of amount used & date only. if you don't have any records you can be prosecuted and fined if too many people advise/say on open forums that their records are false or they don't keep any we could lose the 2500L we currently have. play...

    if you go over 2500L in any 12 month period you pay duty on all of it, not just the bit over 2500L. google "HMRC179E" for all the details. also do a search here there are loads of threads about veg oil.
