Just bought a '95 TDI 300, and i paid £1100. The truck was in very good nick, but had the usual rust issues a the bottom of the door pilars and underside of the sills. Apart from that though it sailed through the MOT today and i have another year of motoring. I am just about to get her shot...

Hello All, Not much really, but if i need to replace my acc. cable and i have a 300 tdi, 1995 disco, which is the correct cable for me. There are a few options. 1) Accelerator Cable - TDI RHD and LHD - from JA031013 to TA163103 2) Accelerator Cable - TDI RHD - to JA031012 3) Accelerator...

Thanks mate, very helpful. What i have subsequently discovered tho is that the genuine part (LUF1004300) actually has a problem with it. The Seal guide actually opens up the seal to much and deforms it oversize, not allowing the seal to actually make the seal. All in all i fitted it by removing...

Why oh why has this happened to me! Nightmare! Ok well here goes. I bought myself the new toy in March 2008, a Disco series 1 300 tdi. Ran very well but had some issues with rust...and had no play kit on it. So i took it off the road (SORN) not the fun type, and lifted it by 2 inches, put some...

Hi, Can it be done, as in retrofitting a standard m reg 300 with ABS? Has anyone done it? Nick

Thanks for all your help....but how do i restrict the steering??

well, had a look at the site and there are still a couple of questions. 1. Do i need to cut the arches and restrict steering with a HD 2" lift kit 2. What is the difference between dislocation cones and turret mounts? Thanks Nick

Hello, I have just got myself a tidy 300tdi, m reg with 128000 miles on the clock. I am a mechanical engineer and have some spare (about £1000) cash in the bank! However, i need some help turning this puppy into an off-road beast. These are the ideas... I have some cooper 235/85/16 ready for...
