Hi I fitted a new power steering pump a few months ago, at slow speeds the steering is quite heavy, feels like the pump isn't doing it's job properly, but it does'nt make any sort of noise. The steering box was adjusted around the same time. So doe's this sound like the pump has failed or the...

Hi Yeah it has got one, it's on the drivers side either just behind the rear axle or in front,

Cheers for the help Charles, i'm not able to take a picture for the next few day's, so i'll take a picture as soon as i get chance. Now you know how you're going to be sending pictures every post you send int ya!!!!! Cheers J

Thanks Discomania that sounds like good news so far!! anyidea if it's harming my engine at the minute, the way it is? Yeah im sure someone will come up trumps and know where this adjustment is!

When im driving, and then use the clutch, the revs drop a fraction past 750 rpm (idle speed) and then pick up back to 750. If i put biodiesel in it, then the revs drop a little bit more then normal diesel and pick back up to idle.Once the engine did cut out because it dropped to low!! Is this...

Ok, so definately sounds like there's something wrong with mine then. Anyone got any idea where i should start to try and get to the bottom of this problem? Thanks

Ye it is biodiesel i'm using and not veg oil. I get it from a place that sells gas, and theyve got a bio pump, and lpg pump, they order it from somewhere as far as i can make out. Well i changed the fuel filter and cleaned the sedimentor bowl out after i had done around 500 mile. So any...

Hi, I've run my disco a couple of times on bio. Each time i did, if i've been driving for around 10 mins, without changing gear, when i do the revs seem to drop lower than idle (bout 500rpm) and then pick back up to idle bout (750rpm). Once it went to low and cut out completely, it started...

Hi mate the voltage should go up to about 14.summat volts when the engine is running.

Hi, I'm trying to run my disco on bio, i've read that if you run on pure B100 in the colder months, then there's the risk of it freezes and go's into a gel form, so your better off runing a 50/50 mix through winter. When i fill up i have to travel about 30 miles, so would like to start...

Hey Raz, what was up with your steering box?

When you say shakes, do you mean the whole car violently shakes?? My 300 did that at around 60mph, have you checked the preload on the swivels? I'd of thought that the 200 would be the same as 300. I had my swivels reshimmed and sorted, did it abit afterwards but knowwhere near as bad as it...

Ok cheers that's put my mind at rest. I'll get back to enjoying the chippy smell!!!:D

Cheers for the replies, Ye i get the jist of adjusting the box, but my concern was my pump is leaking slightly so it's loosing pressure, so if i adjust the box with a leaking pump, then when i replace the pump will the steering box be too tight because i adjusted it when the pressure was...

I just mean at 200 miles is it likely to have not pulled all the crap through, basically, if i change the filter at 200 miles will it of had enough time, or will i end up changing filter 300/400 miles later?

I've just put £50 of biodiesel (B100) in my disco from nearly empty. I know i need to clean sedimentor bowl out and change filter at around 500 mile. By wed/thurs i'd of done around 200 mile, i'll then be going away covering an extra 600 miles. Would i be better of changing filter and cleaning...

I've got a tiny bit of play in my steering box. But before i go and tighten it up i just wanted to ask a Qs. My steering pump has got a slight leak, if i tightened the box adjustment would that make the steering too tight when i got round to fitting a new pump? Is it possible to make the...

Well went to the one in Stoke in the end. seemed pretty good to deal with. Yeah not to bad travel wise, just a pain if i want to fill up with it every week! So thanks again.

Ye i've recently had to do my B+E, to tow a horse trailer. pretty pants really but it's all done and haven't got to worry about it now. It takes quite abit to get your head round it all!

Yeah that's a great help thanks, i went on that site god knows how i bloody missed that!;) So thanks for that, It looks like the last 2 are about 45 mins from work, i'm waiting for the first 1 to reply to an email. If anyone else knows of anywhere nearby that would be great. Thanks
