Thanks. Sorry for delay in replying to your posts. I’ve been away for a while. I will try checking all these. It could be some time before I know when I’ve fixed the problem, as it is very intermittent. Do any of you know if there is an inertia switch that puts on the hazards and...

I have this strange intermittent fault with my hazard warning lights. They will suddenly come on when using the indicators. Nothing will make them stop except tuning the engine off, removing the key then restarting. The same thing has happened a few times when the headligts are on. These times...

Hi, Does anyone know how to adjust the diff lock linkage on a 300 tdi. If I engage the diff lock lever I get no light on dash in it does not engage. if I crawl underneath and lever the arm over slightly on top on the transfer box the light comes on and it engages. I've been told there is an...

Hi Happy Wanderer, Interested to read your post. Ive done the tweaks to the pump on my 300tdi which helps a lot (I tow a double horse trailer too). Now i'm thinking of going for a bigger intercooler. Its good to hear that it does the business. Ive looked at Brunel's site. There intercoolers look...

Hi Mark, I have just bought a 97 300tdi with 90k on it, and i'm very pleased with it. Before that I had a 92 200tdi that had about 160k on the clock when I got rid of it and the engine was still sweet as a nut. I think the 300tdi engine has a similar reputation for longevity, provided it has...

Hi Don't know if this will be any help, but most of the heat shield dropped of my old disco 200tdi. I never bothered to replace it and ran it on for another year before I sold it, without any problems. I don't know how much a new one is, but if its cheap it might be worth replacing it. Be...

Does anyone know of a suitable bigger intercooler that can be pulled from a scrapper to fit in front of the radiator. It needs the in & out to be on the same side so I can run the pipes through the gap left by the old one. I know Allard do some nice shiney new ones but I'm on a tight budget (skint).

Has anyone had any experience with this Hiclone thing. Seems a bit too good to be true. Increased power by just bunging something up the air intake? There website is www.hiclone.co.uk/4x4/index.htm

Hi, Just joined the forum. Ive been looking at this great site for a while and have finaly got around to joining. I had a Disco 200tdi for about 4 years and have just changed it for a 300tdi Aviemore. Its got a few little things to sort on it (don't they all?) so hopefuly i'll find some tips...
