    Turbo Delay

    Hi, I've got a 300TDi (80k on the clock) and it's a lovely sounding engine (as good as they do sound anyway). I've noticed lately that it will rev up to just over 2k revs then all of a sudden the turbo cuts in like you've flipped a switch - similar to a v8 when wet running on 6 then firing on 8...

    Puma Defender or TD5 or 300TDI

    Yeh, the 300TDi sounds like the route, If I can find a dead one I can transplant my engine into it. Although I'll probably look for the best TDI I can. I've just got to find a LHD with aircon, I've seen them but very few and far between, Thanks for the input chaps

    Puma Defender or TD5 or 300TDI

    Hi everyone, I've had landrovers for 20 yrs and I'm not sure what to do. I've got a 300TDI and have some money coming soon. Fancy buying a new 2.4 Puma Defender but a bit scared of the electrics etc. Sense tells me to buy a nice 300TDI save my money and have all the spares or replacement...

    5.7 v8 diesel conversion???

    My friend has one already buit with a 6.7 ltr GMC diesel. He's frightened to take it out as he doesn't want another halfshalf or gearbox to break, and suprisingly not a good motor to sell on as these days people read the forums etc before buying. So, my advice would be to look for a knackered...

    300tdi - what mods would you recomend?

    I've had 2 Disco's. My first (V8) I spent a fortune on getting all the gear etc and I enjoyed entering RTV events etc and laning. I now have a 300TDI ES and I do everything I did before. Sump guard BFG AT's, snorkel and wading kit and I love it. Leave the Tow bar on and accept that it's...

    ABS brake failure / fault

    Shaz, you're in luck. I've had exactly the same problem. I can tell you that you most probably have a wheel bearing that's got a bit of play in it. The sensors for the abs are effected by the wheel bearing and when you feather the brakes at slow speed the abs cuts in (the vibration you talk...

    SRS and Offroading - do they go together?

    Anyone who's RTV'd will know that the dangers are you not being able to 'rise' up the bank -- so has anyone got any ideas? do I remove the fuse for the airbags or is there something more simple?

    Southern Spain expats Landrover club - the start???

    Hi Chaps, Everyone mentions about the lack of off road clubs in southern Spain. I have found many people in the same situation. It seems to me that at some point we should all get together and maybe start a club or group? We all have a little knowledge of certain areas, we all want 'weekends...

    Should 300TDi reach normal temp on idle?

    I live and work in Spain/Gibraltar and spend extended periods in a border queue. The car in the winter (17c or so) will lose temperature as soon as I'm standing still and the car isn't being worked - turn your heater on and you'll see it fall drastically!

    SRS and Offroading - do they go together?

    HI Everyone, I've had RR and Series Landrovers for 20 yrs for RTV etc. I now own a 1998 300TDI Disco which I've decided to 'have a go' with. It has SRS airbags and I'm a bit worried about them going off should I stuff it into a ditch etc. Is there a way of easily disabling it? I'm just...
