Ok - I'll give that a try.

Cheers for that - Nowt to worry bout then.

Yep that sounds about right. I'm away from home right now and won't be getting in the driving seat of the disco for another 2 weeks but the noise is loudest when slowing down from high speeds and not as noticeable when slowling down from low speeds. If I remember right, it seems to go away...

Strange title to the thread but it's the best way that I can describe the noise I'm hearing, like the engines on a plane in reverse thrust during landing. I only get this noise when I take my foot off the gas eg: cruising at 50mph then slowing down for a junction. I dunno if it's tyre/wind...

Just to update. I've fitted the EGR blanking plate and cleaned all the crude out of the inlet manifold and it's done the trick. The disco can cruise at 70 on the motorway now without my foot to the floor and it only dips to about 60 on moderate hills and recovers fairly quickly. Thanks for...

Thanks for the replies. I used the hose already in the engine bay, just cut it a bit shorter and picked up a wee hose clip from the local garage for 20p, seems to be holding so far!

Hello again! After changing the fuel filter today I went for a drive and when I came back and parked up I could smell diesel and there was a lot of smoke. I popped the hood and saw diesel all over the engine bay. The culprit was the blue hose in the attached photo. It had popped off, I've...

Cancel that battenburg - I've just read the whole post instead of the first sentence - I've got to slow down!! Should be easy enough now that I've got a landy!!

Sorry for being a dumb ass, but what do I do to overhaul it? Also, I've been told that the K&N won't make any difference unless I'm upgrading other bits n bobs, What is your guys thoughts on this?

Yeah good point!! It's a manual. I'll look at the EGR too!

Hi Charles, The only whistling noise I notice is when I take my foot off the accelerator, NOT when accelerating though, I though that it was just tyre noise. I've been quoted 42 quid for a new hose from the LR dealer - OUCH!! But after searching online I can find it as cheap as 8 quid...

Thanks for that bushtoy! Any idea where I can get a replacement?? Part number?? Ta

Hello again, I have got my first ever Landy, a 1996 300Tdi, I'm looking forward to working on it a lot as I get tools and knowledge! I've encountered my first problem:confused: The disco doesn't seem to have a lot of power, it takes a long time on a flat road to get up to 60mph and...

Hello, I tried locking the disco with key only, turning it to lock position for 5 seconds. This seems to do the trick and the indicators don't flash so I guess that this disables the alarm. I left my dog in the back today and there were no probs. Thanks for your help, looking forward to...

will do, once I get the kids to bed. I'll let you know if I find any water. Thanks
