Ah that tells me something! I obviously didnt take my time. I just hit the button and saw the actuator move one way & thought the worst. Then I just let the thing hang in the door and tried that - NUMPTY!! Not being auto electric savvy , i didnt realise it all had to be adjusted etc...

Thanks dingwall Will try that - running out of ideas! rich

Hi guys n gals Finally replaced the door actuator to "fix" my central locking with one from Maplins, but now it does this: Central locking doesnt work on the key at all. If I use the remote (one button) the alarm unit clicks and all the actuators click - but none of them lock the doors...

Hi guys n gals I bought a towbar for me disco off ebay (plough type i believe its called), but it has no bolts with it. Does anyone know what size bolts I'm after for the thing? I know 2 go in the rear box section under the bumper & so on but have no clue as to what size :confused: Also...

Thanks for all that! I must be some kinda numpty! I can see the diagram at the Maplin site but it makes as much sense to me as reading upside down in Chinese! Spose hoping for the best is not a good policy?! Expect the black & brown go to the same but the others, well.. Give me a PC &...

Hi guys n gals I have finally got round to replacing the drivers side actuator on me disco but I have a problem! I got an aftermarket one from Maplins and its gonig to fit OK but the colours dont correspond and being no auto sparky I,m a little stuck. The colours are as follows: Landy...

OK will do - thanks. Just a thought - when you say readjustment - what exactly does that involve? Sorry - typical newbie question I guess! Thanks Rich

Just a little update - I have tried locking/unlocking with the spare key and am able to do so and also arm/disarm the alarm - still no luck with the c/locking though. Any clues?? Rich

Hi guys'n'gals Me 300tdi M reg 3 door has decided not to lock or unlock via remote anymore. If I press the remote the indicators flash & the alarm arms/disarms but none of the doors lock. Further to this I cannot lock the drivers door manually and have to lock it from the pass side by...

Hi everyone So what do you do when you have taken the centre console out but in doing so you have had to pull the handbrake nearly vertical - and now it's stuck!? :mad: I cant press the button or get the ratchet to disengage so am a little stuffed! Anybody come across this before or am I...

Ok people thanks for all that. Little update - when I got home that evening after she wouldnt start - after a little cranking she coughed somewhat reluctantly into life! The temp then was around 6 degs C. I put another £20 derv in and she seems fine and has started on even colder mornings...

OK cheers - will give that a bash. Just seems odd that as soon as I upped the ratio of veg/diesel it conked on me! Spose I should be going the other way really as the weather is getting a bit chilly.. Lets see wot happens. Thanks again.

Thanks for that Sean Guess I should stick a load more diesel in too to "dilute" the veggie??

OK so i'm tight - put 20ltrs of diesel in on Sunday with 15ltrs of veggie oil. Ran fine for a day - this morning after a cold night - she wont start! So I guess I have overdone the ratio - but - what damage may I have done & how do i rectify the prob and get her started?? Anybody got any...

OK so I had to remove the clevis pin on the handbrake lever so i could pull the lever straight up so I could remove the centre console, still with me?? When I put the clevis pin back in, the handbrake doesnt "bite" on the teeth of the ratchet part of the handbrake and the button doesnt pop out...
