hi.the rear prop is still fitted,the gears can be selected without using the clutch but its easier using the clutch the car cant go back to the garage that done the clutch work as they got very abusive when it was mentioned that they hadn't done a very good job as it was only taken to them in...

Craddocks are good but they are in cannock

It's deffo not the handbrake. I've wound it right off and no change. I have just lifted the rear off the floor and spun a wheel and the opposite wheel turne the opposite way I then lifted the front and both wheels can be turned without the other turning which points to a front diff problem I'm...

Hi all. I have a strange problem on my disco 300tdi. It's a manual gearbox. When I reverse if I push the clutch down and roll it tries to lock up. It's as if the brake is being jabbed on and off. I've checked the handbrake and its not binding. I checked the transfer box oil level and it was...

Thanks all. It's a Sony stereo, it's the wire from the arieal that I'm looking for. I do some greenlaning, that's why I could do with sorting it so that I can get the areial to retract, just dont know which wire in the blocks that plug into the stereo is for it

Thanks for that. I was thinking about fitting a switch bud wOndered if the arieal power wires were in the connector block in the back of the radio

Hi all. I've been offered a ex army winch but it's 24 volt. Is there a way to get a 24 volt output on my disco 300tdi? Thanks. Andy

Sorry for the late reply. It was the diaphramph on the injector pump. It was full of oil. I have replaced the turbo with a secondhand one but that is also passing oil, it's getting into the inter cooler. I bought it from Alldrive uk and they have promised a replacement today so fingers crossed. Andy

Hi all. My diaphragm on the pump was adjusted the other day. Today I set back as I wasn't happy with how it was running and there was a puddle of oil on the diaphragm. It was clean when it was first opened the other day. Is my turbo knackered?if so do you think it will do a 30 round trip...
