This is a picture of mine. That wire you spoke of, is connected to the positive as well as the brown wire. (It sits under the brown one in the picture). Thinking it through, I'm sure there is a feed to an inline fusible link around the point the loom branches off from the glow plug relay. Maybe...

I just had a quick look in the dark at my disco which is edc. That wire on mine is connected to the positive terminal on the battery. On mine it leads into the main loom under the fuse box as you say. I couldn't see where it went as it's covered by the protective sleeving of the main loom. Are...

Is it coming from the positive or negative terminal?

Hi Ben, i can post but will need to add a bit to cover the cost. If you are ok with that, can you drop me a PM with your address so I can work something out. Cheers Andy

Now sold.I have a set of solid discs, pads, oil seals and pad fittings for sale if anyone is interested. The pad fittings are the split pin and springs type. They are still in the boxes, which are a bit bashed courtesy of a courier that had the raging hump with me :). Looking for £40 Ono for...

Are the spill off pipes in good condition? I replaced mine, and although they looked ok on the surface, they were actually really badly cracked and split. New pipes took about 5 mins to fit and along with an extra earth strap to the engine it sorted my starting issues out. May be worth a try as...

Davevx, Spent a while balancing the wheels. Went to put them on the front and found my brakes need sorting. Cars off the road while I'm waiting for new calipers, discs and pads. :mad: However I tried both fronts on and found them close to the back of the arch. Drivers side is very close and...

Sounds good! Wheels loaded in the back ready to take to work to stick on. Will update you on whether any cutting was needed...

Markhall area mate. Mine is pretty much standard, apart from a slight lift. i need to really get my arse in gear and sort her out so that I can try some off road stuff lol

I had similar issues. Before you do the pump, have a look at the spill off pipes. Mine were a bit perished which were difficult to see as the pipes are braided. They are only push on, and cost about 2 quid for a length you can cut to size. Are your earths all clean? Especially the braided one...

I picked up a set of 265/75/16 bf Goodrich AT tyres on alloys which I'm still trying to pluck up the courage to fit! I see you are in the same town, if I grow a pair and put them on I'll let you know how it went. Try this link, as it's got a visualiser feature for you to compare tyres side by...

Just a quick update. The tappets were re-checked, and one of the little top hat shims was missing. It was definitely there when the rocker shaft was replaced. Another shim put in and it's running lovely. Question now is why and how did the shim fall off? I've not been able to find it so...

Bugger! That's a pain. It runs ok at the moment, compared to when the shaft went! Back to it in the morning then to try to work out why. Thanks for the input James. I guess the disco was bound to give me grief sooner or later ��

Hi James, When it went back together it was all checked and double checked. I'm hoping another thread hasn't stripped out. I'll have to re-check it again in the garage at work tonight. Just as an aside. Should there be any noise from the air box? Wife thinks I'm paranoid as she has had a listen...

Just an update. I opened the air box whilst at tickover and the noise gets louder. It's like a sort of Pom pom pom pom noise like air beating.
