Hey all, I'm trying to troubleshoot a non-starting diesel heater on a recently acquired 05/06 L322. Before I go taking too much apart, I was hoping someone could tell me the location of the diesel fuel pump which supplies fuel to the diesel heater. Is it attached to or located close to the...

So I was reading through the RAVE manual on the fuel delivery system for the TD5 and spotted this: "Unlike other Diesel engines, the Td5 engine has no injection pump. The diesel direct injection system receives fuel at pressure from a two stage fuel pump located in the fuel tank. The system...

Now I know disco 1 aircon doesnt have a great repuation as being particularly effective or having any gas left in them as they age they are but mine was a gooden and even had it re gassed last summer and all was well. With the weather warming up I have wanted to use it again recently but...

Thanks for your concern, I know what I'm doing when it comes to electronics, just wanted to save myself an hour of 'fishing' with a multimeter :)

There's a lot of red wires under there! Was hoping for a pin number or something! :)

As per title, Disco 1 300tdi. Where would be the easiest place to tap off a 12v feed which becomes live when the ignition key is switched to the 2nd position?

Driving home from work last night, head gasket blew in my 300tdi, engine overheated and had to get towed home. Massive amounts of exhaust gas being blown back into the coolant reservoir so its basically fubar and needs to be repaired properly. Local garage as quoted me £660 inc vat as the...

Thanks!

Just had a look at the tyre fitting guide but not up on all the lingo... Which bit is the rear fender? same for front endcap and bump stop? Are these difficult or time consuming things to do? If these are on offset hubs is this going to reduce the number of modifications needed?

Still struggling to fix various electrical issues on my 300. Can anyone point me in the direction of some decent documentation and diagrams, the Haynes manual is useless!

Today I was messing about trying to get the rear windscreen wiper to work and accidentally shorted some contacts blowing fuse 18 (the one with the wiper symbol on the diagram under the steering wheel). replaced the fuse but after that there was no power going to the wiper relay. I checked the...

I've now finished all 5. It is worth replacing the springs even if they have not yet snapped, if the car is of that age then the springs can be worn enough to not operate correctly. The two back doors were the easiest to get the mechanism out, but the hardest to get the springs in. - took a...

I'm thinking the best way to attack this (for the backlighting anyway) is to remove the original connectors, glue LEDs in their place and then wire them all into that pair of wires on the back which goes to one of the original backlights.

Is it in the panel underneath the glove box or the panel to the left beside the door?

Could someone please tell me where this is located? I bought this disco with no working wiper, i've now tried fitting a new one and it just stays on constantly. I suspect the relay to be at fault as the switch on the dash does not stop it but I have no idea were it is and Haynes is no help!
