hi all,i have just brought a 1995 300tdi auto discovery 1,its a nice example with just over 100,000 on the clock,but i have already come across a probolem,the n/s rear door wont unlock with the central locking,now ino the p38's have actuators,but im not so sure with the disco 1's,i presume they...

well thankyou very much oxides! i did wonder weather another landy core plug might fit,from a 2.25 or something! its a pain realy,coz she runs realy nice,appart from the exhaust manifold having a crack down the middle,and it gets hot realy quick,becuase it wont hold water! :D thanks for the...

hi all,iv succesfully got my 2.6 straight 6 going very nicely,fitted fuel lines,got pump working,and then striped and sorted carb probolem,witch im chuffed about! however i put some water in it,and then found water to be ****ing out of the core plug on the side of the engine block,drivers side...

mate,if you want a landrover as your first motor,then dont go for a nice shiny expensive td5,have a tidy series 3,or a series 2,and put it under limited miles, and u might be in with a chance,if its on van insurance,even better! trust me i know,iv been driving a 2.25 diesel series 3 swb for a...

found the pump the other day,and found a little pipe in the foot well,witch goes onto the filter in the engine bay, found power to the pump was present,wd40'd the connectors up,gave the pump a tap with my finger,and away she went,does look abit scummy tho! all i need now is some pipe for the...

okay thanks for the input guys,the reason i ask is that i cannot hear anything priming( a fuel pump) its been sitting for along time,and it does fire,but i want to get the pump working so i can drive it! i have the origonal workshop manuels for the 2.6 but it says its under the drivers seat,but...

hi all,i have just brought a 109 straight six,witch is a project car,and cant wait to get stuck into it,and start restoring it,but first i would like to find out what im working with,gearbox,overdrive,4wd,and engine! someone has ripped the fuel line from the filter on the engine,and put some...

hahahahahaha,how many???,bloody hell,ur worse than ma old man! lol,very nice motor,if i was 10 years older,and had the cash,wud have her,sorry! good luck with selling her tho! :D

okay,cheers for the reply,just didnt want to spend loads of money on a nice set of wheels that will fit,but need mods to fit correctly! cheers,tom! :D

hi all, have been looking at some wheels and tires for the disco 1,and was looking at zu's,but wasnt sure weather they would fit or not,without lifting or any cutting of wheel arches,ill go one inches on the lift,but no more than that! have looked on google for a thread on this already,and cant...

dosent matter what you do with her,tubes of silicone,miles of rubber,or rap it in bubble rap,with miles of tape,will still leak somewhere! i cant turn a left hand corner in the morning without my leg getting soaked,and my hand being rained on! the goldfish in the foot well rely on the rain! :D:D lol

looks pretty smart mate, but as greg said, a nice set of chunky at's would look very nice on it! i do like the colour tho!!!! 300tdi reliability aswell! :D

look at the top and bottom swivel bushes and bearings aswell if you can,becuase these things can cause havoc with steering if they are worn,or collapsed! it will snatch from side to side,and there wont realy be a position there where it stays streight,it will just go from left to right and throw...

yea,i do have some flexi's spare somewhere,so will change them aswell when i do my next lot of cylinders,hahaha next lot,sounds like a regular thing,witch wuddnt be lieing! will probz just buy cheapys,as its only going to be on the road another 2 odd months now! :D

iv had non stop probolems with my brakes on my series 3,cant get them rite atall,they are ither as spongy as a giant washing sponge,or rite at the top of the pedal, and them jam on, and all my wheel cylinders seem to leak,even the expensive ones!:confused:

make sure that the cable is in the speedo and the gearbox propely,and not in more one end than the other,as the inner will move slightly,mine worked fine for a while,and then started jumping up and down,and then just died! been driving without one for months now,lol! :D

weekly checks,oil,water, and airfilter,tires,steering box oil level,and wheel bearings,brake fluid and clutch fluid,oh and adjusting brakes constantly as they are just crap! haha :D

the saying,''a series landrover will take you anywhere'', is true,but only if its maintained,and well looked after! :D

bloody hell,glasgow,what running gear are you running? ur 2.25 must be bloody healthy mate! wuddnt trust mine to do that many miles! :eek:

i do agree that the v8's are lovely,i have a rangerover with a 3.5 high comp,and that went well enough before i pulled it appart, and yea they arnt too hard to fit,but people seem to write off the standard set up,and thats only becuase people have abused them,and they are old now! iv seen it...
