Your not jokin. I bought a brand new caravan 2 days before i went on holiday and owned it for one day before someone tried to nick it!!! But the Disco is the last straw, she is on ebay sparss or repair then im buying something else.

Went to Cornwall with the tin tent being dragged by my 300 disco. Toodled round all for 2 weeks, no issues. Then on way home Saturday morning she overheats and i presume has thrown the head gasket, on a big hill on M5 between j19 and 20. I spent weeks sorting silly little things out, making...

Im not trying to burst your bubble, but i can speak from experience here. forget the "advice" given by DVLA, they lie. I bought a 3 door Disco 5 years ago, similar thing. Eventually i had to break it for spares as the identity could not be established. The body, chassis and engine were from...

As is said concrete dont help batteries, reduces core temperature which is bad. Ctek and similar smart chargers are worth their weight in gold, BUT dont pay the silly money for them. Aldi and Lidl do an exact copy now and then for around £13, and the only difference between the 60 quid...

97 300 TDi, 122k on the clock, running tickety boo :) But im dragging me caravan down to Cornwall in 3 weeks and was thinking of filling up with veg oil for the outward journey, it will save me £50 i reckon, plus its burnt off in pretty much one journey. Distance is approx 350 miles...

No.

Er, dunno. Whatever the standard holes are for a standard set of side steps?

Ok, i know im a tit, but i have a problem with sizes of nuts and bolts, but i need to buy some new bolts for a set of side steps ive just got, so does anyone know what size i need to bolt these on to my 300 TDi? Also how many? Ta guys.

Im about to acquire a set of side steps for me disco. Thin is these are "home made". Ok, not botched, proper checker plate and fabricated bang on shape wise etc etc, but they need painting as they are standard. So 3 options: 1. Hammerite, smooth black. 2. Plasti dip, liquid rubber spray...

There are some good ones out there for the money. I've just bought a P reg 300 TDi, 7 seat, 122k on clock, 2 owners, last one for 4 years who was an absolute LR nut. The thing has been serviced to death, all the usuals dealt with (EGR, spider valve etc etc), even got a set of front and rear...

Havent read all this thread, but a few facts. You can get a tracker system fitted to new drivers cars to reduce premiums, the insurer will pay, as long as you are not out between 11pm and 7am. That still can be done no problem with plenty of insurers. As for trackers on cars, your a bit late...

Genius :D:D:D

Just done mine. Lets be honest here on what to expect. Yesterday i towed a caravan weighing around 1300kgs and a boot full of tools 60 miles back from where i towed it Thursday. The Disco, 300 TDi manual with 122k on clock, performed ok, she wont win any races and you have to work the box on...

Right peeps, im the proud owner of a 1996 Disco 300 tdi xs. But the tyres are ****e. So, im after some all terrain tyres, as i tow a biggish caravan mainly on and off fields i need something with a bit of grip on the wet stuff, BUT mainly i wanna reduce the tyres wall and drop sizes a bit so i...

He couldnt actually afford to land and stay somewhere, so he got a round the world non stop flight from www.****allelsetodo.com Mind you he's got a good seat, right in between a Miss Amelia Earhart and Mr Buddy Holly.
