Hi Just wanted to know if anyone had an idea as to why my 300tdi has a low piston. I took the head off, the 4th cylinder is low, the other 3 cylinders have a protrusion of between 0.63 and 0.65 and the 4th doesn't even make it to the top, and is around 2mm lower than the block. There is low...

I have a disco 300 and I'm currently in the french alps. The problem is my 17 seat transit minibus is broken, I'm not sure what is wrong with it and do not want to get ripped of by one of the many dodgy french mechanics that I have had dealings with over the years... so my plan is tow it back...

Hi, wondered if anyone could help..when I press the brake pedal the front brakes lock up and the rear brakes don't seem to do much. Im out in the alps, so when it was skidding to a stop on some snow, I popped my head out of the window, the front was locked, the rear wheels were still turning...
