Hey everyone, Thanks for all the replies! I've been away from keyboard for the past few days hence my delayed reply! Haven't driven the car since I posted this, but tonight I took it for a drive and... Worked both times! I guess its somewhat a habit of mine to touch the throttle just a...

Cool, thanks for the replies. Hm, that was what I was wondering as well. Choked filter - which one? Fuel filter? Was replaced with brand new item 2 months ago. Gauze filter - what is this? Sticky stop solonoid - again, what is this? Mine is a '95 300tdi. Immobiliser - I'm 99% sure...

Hey guys, Having intermittent issues with starting my Disco 1 300tdi. The battery is fine (2 months old) cranking is fast and perfect, but it doesn't always fire. Once running, she's perfect and doesn't miss a beat. I wait for the glowplug light to go out before cranking, but that...

Indeed indeed! Thank you :) --- Ordered an under-seat subwoofer like I said about, in a bid to help improve the audio in the Discovery. As I said, I'm not a huge loud-music bass kinda guy, but those 4-inch Pioneer's just don't cut it! After reading a ton of reviews, I bought a Beat...

Well, the weekend has been and gone! It was this weekend with all the hype and anticipation that I had with towing to Scotland and back, and I'm really happy to say that it went 100% perfectly! Just under 1200 miles of towing down, and the Discovery did not miss a beat! A few days before I...

Ah awesome, thanks! For anyone else interested, by the way, build thread for my Nissan Silvia s14 here s14 Navan street car :D

Perfect, PM replied. Thanks :)

Hey ya'll, Just a small suggestion for the Forum really. Recently found myself going through the forum trying to find project/build threads only, but finding pages upon pages of tech problems mixed in. A sub-forum for just projects would be ideal I think? Of course this would be inside the...

One of my seat belt buckles in my Discovery 1 is like this - missing the outer case. Buckle works fine, just the case is missing. Anyone got one I can replace with? Don't necessarily need the whole thing, just plastic case. Infact, doesn't necessarily need to be front/back. They're all...

Over the last couple days basically read this entire thread - its taken me a while! Incredible build so far, very impressed. I also have come to notice that I think you may live very close to me! Fareham area? Infact I think I may have passed you a couple times. I'm sure I've seen the green...

Good point actually, something that I haven't checked. Just popped out to have a look, quite tricky to get photos of, but this is from the engine-side between fan blades And this is from the front looking up between grille slats Looks decent to me? I'll bring a spare thermostat...

So I've read elsewhere too! Not sure what else I can check on my car to find out if I have or haven't got a good cooling system!? Coolant has been flushed, absolutely zero leaks, belt replaced less than 6 months ago, spare belt going with me anyway. She hasn't missed a beat since I've owned her...

Great, yeah that's what I thought it would do as well. Sweet, will bear that in mind. Nice one :) Indeed, this is what I've read elsewhere. Thanks for the info, and I will certainly up the rear tyre pressures before setting off too. RE boot floor, haha yes! I have already removed the boot...

The other day I noticed another small (or potentially large) oil leak that appeared to be coming from the engine cyclone breather, or at least one of the pipes to & from it. I popped on eBay and searched for the relevant parts, found them to be so cheap that I may as well replace all of them. I...

Cool, OK will do. My Disco is a D1 300tdi, non air bag Also the trailer I am hiring for the job is a triple axle, so I guess the effect of nose weight forward/back is reduced as I can spread the weight more-so than on a single or twin axle?

Hm, Ok fair enough. That comes down to my other question then, as the back of my Disco will be loaded with tools & spares with as much as I can fit in, so I suspect around 600kg of weight in the back - without the trailer hitched on! I guess I can see how much the Disco is lowered by at the...

Excellent info, thanks very much! I will aim to do 55mph+ then, indeed! Regarding nose weight, that is a good point and I'm glad you brought that to my attention. Since I saw your reply, I did a bunch of reading & searching to understand nose weight more, but there is a question outstanding...

Hey guys, Potential newbie question here, I've never done any towing before in my life (apart from taking my licence a few weeks ago), so excuse this question as it could well be completely obvious. Done loads of searching, and cannot find a correct answer. Anyway, nose weight - I...

Awesome, thank you for the kind words. I always aim to take as many decent photos as possible and keep the thread as updated as I can - perhaps it will help people in the future when doing Google searching! :D That's some amazing info right there, unbelievable! 46mpg!! There's no point in...

Yes, of course. This is one of the reasons it took a while to make sure it was at the correct level :D Luckily, the guy who lets me use the workshop & ramps has worked on Land Rover's for near 20 years when he was in the MOD :)
