I'm a real noob here!! sorry!! How can I put in a new donut at the rear of the prop without first removing the old one and hence splitting the thing. Am I talking about the right bit? Theres 6 bolts, the kit only gives you three new ones! I undid all the bolts, took them out, Pushed the prop...

Thanks...So are there some sort of indicators

Hi all, Last night, in the snow, rain, wind and dark I decided to replace the donut on my prop shaft!! It seemed like a good idea at the time until it started to get dark!! I was so pleased I managed to complete the job, but..... This morning driving into work it feels the same as the...

I had the same problem. the wife didn't like the kids sliding around on the bench seats of my 90!! Went on a 4x4 training day for my birthday and they had Disco's!! I thought they weren't real Land Rovers!! After the day I went straight to my local garage and traded the 90 for a disco. Put a...

Glad to hear that you're still alive, but did your landie make it?

Red is fine. But yours is more pink!!! and metallic!!

I have 265 - 75 MT on mine and had to chop a lot of the body work. I chopped one lot, went off road and bent the back end up when the vehicle was under stress!! So had to go back and chop loads more off!!

My stop solenoid is just in front of the injector pump. Just one white (ish) wire going to it.

My Disco did the same this morning. I thought it was the battery. Re charged and still nothing. This time it turned over but nothing else. Found out that the wire had come off the stop solenoid. You never know?

Hi, thebiglad, that makes a lot of sense. Its a 94 manual 300tdi, but, I am running 265- 75-R16's. How would I adjust my readings to find out the true reading? Now thats beyond my mind!! Thanks, Jon

I can't believe this!! I think I'm about to get 340 to a tank!!! Its a 300tdi with 2 inch lift, INSA turbo MT tyres and a lightbar, but surely it can't be this bad. I even started free wheeling down hill ( I know its bad) I've cleaned the sedimentor, blanked the EGR and replaced filters. Now...

Hi all, Well it finally started to drive properly, a bit more power, i can hear the turbo breathe and it generally feels good. UNTIL...... Yesterday, I thought I heard something..today I can. When accelerating I can hear a grinding noise coming from underneath. It doesn't do it out of gear...

so, is it a big job getting the injectors out and cleaning them?

I've just done my egr on my 94 disco. Took 20 mins tops. Came home from work with the engine still hot, put on some gardening gloves (the wife got all happy and thought I was going to do my husbandly duties!) and undid the two allen bolts. The rest was straight forward, loads of gunk inside that...

Also, don't put any solid into the air intake of any engine. They too are best left on the shelf!!
