    Atomic powered or menace???

    With the greatest of respect to Japan and their people. I've been dealing and fixing motors for over half a century and I thought I knew everything I needed to know about buying cars. What an eye opener when you suddenly wake up one night thinking "Where did my Landy spend its time"? We all take...

    Replacement CD system

    Jason, you've got it mate. That's what I've done, A decent after market USB or iPod radio and just scotch gripped it to the speaker leads via a new connector. I can put the original unit back with no difficulty.

    Hub nut size?

    David, In case you don't have the manual, tighten the adjusting nut whilst rotating the hub to get it to seat properly, up to 45 lbs/ft. that should take up any slack. Release the nut and re-tighten to 3 lbs/ft. Fit the tab washer and lock nut. (Here's the best bit.) Tighten the lock nut to 74...

    Hub nut size?

    David I've just ordered replacement front discs and pads from Frogs Island. http://www.frogsisland4x4shop.com/ They wanted to supply a 2" box spanner so I guess that answers the first question. As to Gaskets and seals you will need them plus lock tabs and thread lock. I recommend new pad...

    Replacement CD system

    My 97 300tdi has the LR radio cassette with CD changer under the drivers seat and dash controls. I wanted to fit a standard radio/CD but found that the connectors weren't right. This is because the system uses a seperate amplifier hidden behind the passenger glove box. The connector that usually...

    Scared!

    If you really want a clean low mileage 300tdi with all the bits look at the jap imports first. Search the Internet and you'll find several dealers. These vehicles were mostly used around petro-chemical plants by white collar staff and the island has strict speed restrictions so you won't find...

    Have you tried looking at the Jap Import dealers? Mine is like new and well within your budget.

    Disco 2 - Electric Window failure

    Exactly the same thing happened to my 300tdi whilst away on hol. Probably my fault for putting in wind deflectors which made it tight for the glass. With mine though I carefully drilled through centres of the spot welds, countersunk the gear rack plate which is fairly thick and fitted...

    Clever people needed

    Hi, I've recently dealt with a cruise that didn't work on my 300tdi. I had to follow and examine every part of the circuit which can be found in Haines manual. Ultimately it was the cruise control unit that had failed (replacement £115). As Ormus stated it could be a duff lock out relay but...

    What MPG can you realistically get from a Landy/Disco?

    The mpg gain is likely to be slightly worse however the extra torque should help to keep the speed above 52mph when on the motorways and climbing. The longer I keep top gear locked in the less rpm. Incidently Browns Fuel is H2O2 and is achieved in short quantities by using relatively low cost...
