hi can any body here tell me if a r380 manual gearbox fitted to a 1993 l reg disco one, can be replaced with one from a v8 disco , both are the same age and both manual 5 speeders . the one thats fitted wont stay in reverse unless you hold it in and just makes a grinding noise . i have taken...

brown i think

thanks mate really nice of you , you never know i might just do that , been to portugal a few times , lovely country stayed at a place called carverio, not sure on spellin sorry

yes looks like it mate , fitted it friday nite and took it out sat for a run but only about 30 miles and didnt get a chance to take it above 50mph but it sat a lot lower on the gauge than b4 so fingers crossed as its going up to billing landrover show thursday nite !

good point danny i noticed that the top hose is very close to the pulley , do you think that bmp42 should invite us over to portugal to see if my rad can cope with the lanes he does there ?

sorry , meant to thank . (nicedayforit) as well, ta !

hi again danny , the car has been well looked after plenty of anti freeze and the rad is now in , left it running for about a hour and no probs so far , will take it for a good run sat and see what happens , be a good day to try as its going to be hot , anyway looks like you were right so thanks...

thanks danny , have ordered my rad so will c what happens went its in , apart from the belt snaping what can go wrong with the water pump ?

thats a good point mate anit thought about that , is it worth spending a bit more and getting a heavy duty rad , think i am right that they have 4 chambers instead of the standard 3 (ebay)

thanks guys , how can i check fan and water pump , fan can be turned by hand when cars not running and spins when it is running , i can leave the car running for hours in my drive and it does not get hot , i did about 100 miles sat no probs but twice i tried to go over 75 mph for a few miles and...

hi , hope someone might be able to help , i have a 300 disco that just keeps over heating . first time it happened i was towing a large trailer with a 109 on it , all was ok till after about 30 miles the temp went high and the boiled over , the car has covered 205k but i have just serviced it ...

well said trax , i owned my disco 2 for about 18 months and only used it now and again , prob only covered about 6k thinking back it spent more time on the back of the rac truck than it did on the road , i love my £650 300tdi , just done head gasket timing belt fan belt and oil and filters in...

think if you convert to coil you need to check insurance , if yours is a 7 seater it has to be air suspension . i know how you feel with this problem , mine was the same when i had the car , one thing after another went wrong and was glad to see the back of it , can you here the pump run ?

hi rich m , have had a 300k mile early 200 disco 1 , which i knew was a ****er when i bought it off flea bay but once i sorted all the jobs it was pretty good on and off road , sold that to my mate who in turn used it for work plus a few play days , he was given a better 3 door with a shaged out...
