Just a quick update. I replaced all fuel lines and put a bulb primer and clear bowl filter in the supply line before the lift pump and all is tickety boo😁😁

Should have said it's a 300tdi disco 1

Hi all. My rh indicator is flashing fast as tho a bulb is blown but all bulbs working 🤔 any ideas??

When I put the 200tdi from a discovery into my range rover, I got a 10m roll of rubber fuel pipe (i think 8mm internal diameter but not 100%) which is enough to go from fuel take to filter, and back again for the return. Got it off ebay for about...

Hi yes I have had a fiddle today and fitted a new filter head checked all lines taken pickup out of fuel tank cleaned some bits of crap out of pick up spaced in tank. Initially got great as purt of fuel out of the bleed screw but now back to only...

Lol I think mine might be becoming a manual pump after an investigation on Saturday

Humph fuel problems on 300tdi with EDC pump. Just returning from MOT which it passed and started losing power. Changed fuel filter the seperator has been bypassed. Cleaned screen in fuel lift pump and then changed lift pump . When cranking I get...

Working as intended, its called dim dip

Speaking as a person who has both a TD5 Disco 2 and a 300tdi Disco 1, and having used both for long trips towing, I'd go with the 300tdi every time, as regard reliablilty and being able to fix it in the middle of nowhere. There is a good reason...

Unfortunately I had set off in a borrowed workshop with someone else's welder etc. As I said it was a nightmare 🤣

Fair enough. When I did our 300tdi with box, I didn't find it that bad, I started the arc on the heavy box, and worked the puddle up to dissolve the body's thin metal with the molten metal from the weld pool. So I wasn't playing the arc onto the...

Well that's what I did with my 3 door but it turned into an absolute nightmare trying to weld thin stuff onto the heavy box section. Also this vehicle spends 90% of its life on tarmac so no real need for jacking off the sills.

Not sure pal ive never tried to remove it every disco ive done the seal rail has been solid.

Yes that part is sound rest of it's poor lol. Is it just spot welded?

Leave the original & cut underneath it if its got enough good metal to weld to.

Humph I have started taking off plastic trims in preparation for welding new sills. Gone to use it tonight and won't start. Central locking isn't working on the fob but does from the key. Tried disconnecting the battery earth and no charge when...

Hi all having to sort the sills ready for an MOT. I have decided to replace like for like rather than going box section like I did last time. Got new inner and outer sill sections from YRM just wondering how to deal with the little upstand that...
