Found out they're M12 x 1.25 if anyone's interested.Took a while to get some locally as a fine thread and not common.

Can anyone tell me what thread the nuts are on the front shocks on a disco 300 tdi? Gonna see if I can pick some up in work.

Always wanted a 4x4 and it came up for what I thought was a reasonable price at the time.Wrong! Didn't realise I needed bottomless pockets until my MOT man told me.:doh: I also liked Meccano toys when I was a kid,and now got a big one. It also keeps up my welding skill.:D

Been looking into this myself. This is out of the MOT manual- It is essential that repairs to corroded or damaged areas are properly carried out. This requires that suitable materials of appropriate gauge or thickness are used for repairs. Additionally: · Any plating or welding extends...

Cheers guys. I'll check ECU, and will be taking hubs etc.. out complete.

first off,what is the easiest way to change the swivel ball wiper seals?Would it be easier to take the complete hub/halfshaft assembly out of the axle casing or strip the hub?In the haynes manual it only covers complete strip down. Also would this year have remote locking as standard as didn't...

Cheers for that,didn't know about brake system difference,so had to go and look,and you're dead right on the twin pipe set up....damn.Gonna check mounts and hopefully they'll work. I didn't realise either until I was looking car over,there's no anti roll bars,or mounts to fit them.Might try and...

The box was just a thought. I'll be using the brakes off the 300 axle too as I put brand new shaft/swivel hub assemblies with calipers in a couple of years ago that were for a TD5.

Just to jump in and be different, I've just brought a 1991 V8 manual with LPG.Any ideas or experience what kind of figures that should do? Not expecting to be much worse than my 1994 300. Obviously depending on how It's driven etc.

Do all disco 1 diffs have the same spline setup? I've just got a 1991 V8 that needs both swivel housings sorting and new shocks etc for MOT. I've already got a 1995 300tdi that's got a knackered engine but all running gear is perfect so looking at swapping all bits over. Would it be easier...

Overheated and no.4 bore/piston u/s.I used a 2nd hand block to replace previous one that had serious probs.Looked at getting another 300 but going for silly money.Ideally,i just need a block,but the isuzu is a good price.

My 2nd hand replacement 300tdi engine has died,and i've got the chance of an isuzu 2.8 engine as a replacement.I've looked on a few forums including here and it seems a good transplant,but usually onto a manual box in a defender. Does anyone know how easy it is to go in an auto disco?I know the...

1994 Discovery 300tdi auto with edc. Originally the engine overheated going up a long steep hill,spewing coolant out of the header tank cap.It would run after cooling down,but sounded like it was only on 3 cylinders.Initially I thought head gasket or cracked block,as it has had a new head on a...

I'll check,but think it's more of an electrical problem.

My 300tdi auto 'check engine' light came on earlier and it lost all power.I was doing about 50 at the time.I was setting the cruise control,but don't know if it is linked to the problem. The engine will start and tickover no problem,but as soon as the throttle is pressed,the check light comes on...

Cheers for the quick replies.Would never have thought of dishwasher liquid,pity I haveen't got one.The thing I'm concerned about more is the loss of coolant.Although there isn't any coolant on the floor or noticable leaks when running stationary.And at £13 for 5 ltrs of coolant could get expensive.

I've recently had my engine rebuilt after a serious overheating problem.After a few teething problems all seemed ok,but after checking the coolant level,found the coolant was oily.At first just thought it was residue from before so flushed it and refilled.Checked today and the header tank level...

I'd like to jump in on this thread as i've just had my disco 300tdi engine rebuilt.It sounded smooth when first started but was knocking like hell after it's first proper run.Initially it was found that 2 of the con rod caps hadn't been torqued up fully,so that was done and tried again-better at...

anywhere from £40 at the mo with pick up,to £400 +

cheers I'm on a tight budget @ the mo as spent alot out 2 wks before it went on the MOT(welding etc..).If the head had gone bofore the MOT was up,I would've scrapped or sold it for spares/repair.
