I am also interested in how this worked, to keep a bottle (or 2) in the toolkit incase of emergancys would be a great idea, I wouldnt use it as a long term fix, but as a get you home (/place where you can work on it) bodge, could be a good idea, especially on overland trips.

Wheel bearing?

Twisted are litrually just down the road from me, local opinion is they do great work, but they're a set of robbing barstewards.. can't comment myself as i've never been, but thats the local opinion.

Well, looks like the disco ain't going to be back, after having all 16 hydraulic lifters replaced it still sounds like an industrial sewing machine.. Garage we bought it from are scratching their heads and have taken it to a landy specailist! Glad they are paying not us :D.. Looks like it's...

If you've kept the turbo on, then ideally you need the i/c, Also the disco rad (maybe defender?) would be a better bet as it has an oil cooler built into it - turbos generate lots of heat! I don't even have a temperature sender on mine, or a fan.. it's a case of guessing really on it :eek:

Hopefully either sat or sun. But its dependent on the disco being back from its trip to garage... S3 not very healthy at the moment :(

Started to look at putting the throttle cable onto the TDI rather than the throttle bar that some numpty made by welding nails together when they did the conversion... Rain stopped play :mad: Ah well

No i changed the fuel filter and it did make a difference on mine Looks like i'm going to be getting me a diesel compression tester then.. don't think the one I got for my old motocross bike will work too great :o.. Cheers

Set fire to myself when welding a patch on the a chassis.. Still got a bloody bald patch on my leg :mad: Oh and a scar on the back of my wrist where a blob of molten steel landed and burned into me when welding upside down :mad: Had to pull it out with an engineers magnet! Not trying that...

Swivel preload would be my guess, search death wobble, its been covered a few times I think.

Did you buy it from a garage/dealer or was it private if you don't mind me asking? If its a garage or a dealer they are liable to fix it as it is 'not as described'

I'd be going back to the garage who did the fan and rad... Surely they are liable for damage caused by there neglegance.. Ok I know that doesnt help the leaky pipes, but it would solve the pump.

Standard shocks and springs on mine.. No articulation problems that I can see!

If you pull the pipe of the cyclone breather when its hot does smoke come out? Thats whats happening with my tdi, it had same issues as your describing but the revving/lumpy running/stalling got better after I changed the filter, and cleared almost totally after just making it rev-run...

With my help, dont forget me haha. Least your on now bud!

Where did you get that oil cooler from? You've been had there! Got one for our last disco for £90 + vat.. admittedly that was ****part one :eek:!

Judging by current weather and knowing britain, it'll be ****ing it down all that weekend! Hopefully it will, be a good test of the discovery's elec-trickery if so :D!

Thought you weren't supposed to pull the handbreak on whilst it's moving anyway? Damage to transmission/drive train?

Unbolt that bit, scrape old gasket off, use some instant gasket and bolt it back up... It's a tractor engine, so it should be fine with a farmer type bodge-job :p!

Highly likely will be there for the day on sunday!
