auto box fluid?

Was driving along slowly today after a round trip of about 20 or so miles when there was a bang and car juddered - I really thought the car behind had bumped me - missus thought we'd driven over something or hit a pothole. I pulled over (and I can't remember if I coasted or drove or whether I...

Interesting Lew, ta. Car's fine smokewise after first half mile or so in morning. Doesn't smoke instantly on start up either. Was hoping t'was a simple case of cleaning some oily intercooler pipes out. Never mind, cheers guys. Rich

Sounds like you need to get your head sorted mate :(

Where we live is on a hill and the turn into our road is a very steep and hidden turn off the main road and sharp so I have to do it in first. That means i have to slow quite sharply on the main road, usually frustrating a mad Spanish driver tailgating me cos they can't see what I'm slowing down...

No, not touched belt (prob should really!), once I get the initial few hundred yards of smoke it stops and runs ok apart from not wanting to rev much past 3000 - 3500. Ever since I've had it, it's a bit 'kangarooey', have to be gentle with the throttle and often trying to cruise at a low rev in...

Went out this afternoon to get the kids, was alone so tried to monitor better. Starts fine, smooth idle, no smoke. Set off down hill, after 100yds or so, seemed to misfire 2 or 3 times quickly putt putt putt then spat grey/blue smoke out for a short time after which it's pretty much as normal...

Hiya, like the title says, I noticed a few times recently that the old bus seems a little reluctant to rev much past 3000rpm although it's not often that I try to. Sedimenter and filters were recently cleaned or changed and egr has been done. Noticed yesterday morning, first thing, that it...

On ours it's the clutch that is a stretch. Ok for me but wifey couldn't reach it without dislocating her hip. Bought a pedal extender - I think from motability site or something similar. It adds about 3 or 4 inches and just bolts on easy. I would prefer not to have it but it means she can drive...

No, it has to be a penny! :D:D

I THINK..may be wrong though, that Dave 'The Big Lad' riveted a floor into his with no welding a couple of years back.

There are loads of posts on this subject... a lot of em mine from a couple of years back!

Did you put a power source to the connecters? gauge should then read full and you know it's the sender at fault.

Round cover in boot floor (gasp at all the rust you find!! :eek:) Under the cover is the sender unit, it's different from the 300tdi one but maybe you can repair it if it's a wire off which happens with the 300. Failing that they are about 50 - 60 quid I think for a new 'un.

Just had both mine replaced as both gone, one worse than other mind, but both gone.

I've had two '96 Discos and they both have faulty switch on setting 4 - intermittant, keeps stopping, not all the time but when it does I gotta poke it to make it start again!

Nope, they're different. 200TDi has a couple of longish pipes sticking out of it, 300 just has a couple of holes LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 300TDI HEATER MATRIX on eBay (end time 09-Oct-10 11:54:17 BST) and LAND ROVER DISCOVERY 200 TDI HEATER MATRIX NEW on eBay (end time 09-Oct-10 12:14:40...

Well done...but I hope that carpet wasn't from the living room! :eek::D

Quick return to this - yep, I knew I shouldn't drive it really but wanted someone to say 'nah, it's fine, drive it!' :) No time for ordering and rebuilding Dave as it's our only transport. Put it in a local Russkie garage my pal uses and they replaced the wheel bearings on both sides of the...
