    disco 300 tdi heater fan problem

    Evening all! My heater has always worked pretty well... occasionally it would turn off for a second then turn on again, but pretty well nonetheless. Surprise, surprise... when the temp dropped to -3 last night the fan stopped working altogether. Any thoughts? All help appreciated as...

    300 tdi roof rails

    Evening all! I have a question about roof rails: my recently acquired '95 300 es has standard roof rails, but the fore and aft rails are rather oxidised and I would like to swap them for the rails on my write-off. Can anyone tell me how they are attached? It seems that there is a screw above...

    disco 300 es with issues

    Evening all! First, a big fat high five to Aviva who sorted my 300 tdi write-off last Friday with speed and no issues at all... even their settlement figure was very fair! Now then, I have just acquired a '95 disco 300 ES auto and have a few issues: a) To say it is sluggish pulling away is an...

    Disco 300 wonky bonnet

    Evening all! First, a moment's silence for the 300 tdi I wrote off on Good Friday... I swerved to avoid a baby rabbit and collided with a very old, very large flint wall. We all survived, my lovely landy did not. However, I am picking up another one tomorrow which has a wealth of problems to...

    Interesting Insurance Thing

    Afternoon! Thought I'd share this with you: I recently acquired a '94 Disco and rang the insurance company (Post Office underwritten by Aviva) to remove my Merc and stick the Landy on. I was asked if the car had any modifications and I told them it had a 2" lift (better safe than sorry). I was...

    300TDi Disco MPG query

    Morning All! Over the last week I've been keeping an eye on diesel consumption and my motor seems to be doing about 23mpg (mainly short runs but rural!)... does this seem reasonable or should I be concerned? Thanks for any info with which you can supply me. FL

    Couple of Q's from a 300 TDi novice...

    Afternoon! I recently acquired a '94 Disco 300 TDi and am trying to iron out a couple of niggles... any help would be much appreciated! a) When I stick it into reverse (it's a manual) the reversing light does not illuminate unless I continue to pull back on the gearstick. Any thoughts? b) The...

    Afternoon!

    I picked up my first Disco (and first landy, a '94 300TDi) last weekend and am still in love! My last motor was an elderly Merc 500 sel (currently for sale on EBAY... don't be shy!) but a recent move into the woods means that it'd 4wd all the way from now on. Loving this forum... thanks to a...
