Looks like I may end up having to do a 50 mile round trip to work every day soon. I currently have a 300tdi automatic Disco. I'm thinking that I won't be abkle to afford to run it so looking for a cheaper option is a series diesel better on fuel or would I be better looking for a disco/rangie on...

Hi, I was driving my 94 300tdi auto a few days ago and noticed the performance was very poor. As I got a few miles further there was a lot of brake fade to the point of total faliure. I left it for about 8 hours and all was good I have tried the car quite a few times since and no problems...

The side steps on the 300tdi are welded straight onto the chassis using 4 inch boz section!

Hi, I have just bought a 1994 M 300tdi auto. As with most Disco's (including my last one it has it's faults). After driving it for about 100 miles today the interior fan seems to have stopped working. My first thought is the fuse but looking through the Haynes Manual and can't see which fuse...

Hi, I am thinking of selling my Disco but I just wondered how much it's worth. It's a 94 300tdi, MOT until September had anew boot floor for MOT when I bought it 2 years ago. New pads about 6 motnhs ago starts amd runs well. Bad points as far as I can see are valance missing, 1 rear window...

Thanks for the advice guys a gentle(ish) tap or two and some WD40 solved the problem!

Hi, The back door won't open on my 94 300tdi. I can lock and unlock it from inside (outer lock has never worked since I had it) and the handle on the inside pulls but the one on the outside seems jammed up. I have tried to remove the door card and spray liberal amounts of WD-40 but no joy so...

Always the TDi over the 2.0 Mpi but if you want petrol go for the V8 it's a cracking engine and certainly not short of power!

Cracking Demonstration will be helpful for many i'm sure

Hi, With the bad weather and some general recovery work I have been worndering if recovery equipment such as ropes/straps and shackles get to a point where they have to be replaced. Obviously if they are damaged etc they should be but I mean just general age. Thanks

Thanks for all the advice guys i'll have a closer look at the weekend and let you know what I find

Both got their pro's and con's but I would go for the 300

Some people just don't like the real world!

Hi, I have been having a few problems with my doors freezing shut in this weather. The wife (who keeps nicking my Discovery in the bad weather) has decided to put vaseline on the door seals. I'm sure I have read somewhere that this can rot them.:scratching_chin: Is it safe and if not what...

Like most things though it's up the individual. If you pass a woman stranded on her own in the middle of no where should you help or not. A big part of you says you should be helping but what if it's a set up or if you damage their vehicle by snapped the tow point etc. how are you covered...

In a month or so I will be in the position where work will be providing me with a vehicle. The current plan is to get rid of the wife's Clio (Yay!) and then look at either changing the Disco for a newer one or the other option is spending some cash on mine. To put you in the picture it needs...

We had 2 - 3 ft here and no problems with the 300 must have been unlucky

I have pulled a few vehicles out with mine I do wear a Hi vis if im round here as it's country lanes and I have a flashing beacon which I use if i'm on a road especially if it's just round a bend but thinks thats the idea of them.

These days quite a few motor factors places open on a Sunday daft as it sounds have you looked in the yellow pages?

Hi, My Mum has a 55 plate Freeleander Diesel HSE. The front pads are starting to gring so need changing. I have done this on Several cars including my Disco but just though i'd see if anyone has any special suggestions for doing it on the Freelander or is it just standard. Thanks
