thanx for comments. Spoke to garage again today, said only 1 piston was a bit sticky and although they said they'd be glad to take my dosh, they don't tthink I need to change em, so I'll see how it goes for now. Still got over 2 weeks before long drive.

Had the old bus MOT'd today and as expected, failed on front brakes so my garage changed the pads. They said one caliper had stuck pistons but they managed to free em off and get things working but they said the caliper was worn and that I should be wary in future of any sign that the car's not...

links in me first post show how to fix it, just drill out rivets, seal, replace rivets with bolts.

brake vacuum pump is known to tick/knock when it's on it's way out

Do my own reply then - it's a gasket and I ordered it from Paddocks, best to renew it I guess.

Hi, gonna try and remove at least one oil leak before I return to Spain at the end of the month and was wondering - does the pump to engine gasket or seal (whatever's there) need replacing too or will instant gasket do the trick? I have a used pump to replace mine with but no gasket. I plan to...

Just got round to having a look....when you said screws on inspection plate might be difficult to get out, you weren't kidding! I guess I'm gonna have to drill em out, they're rusted to buggery. Hmmm, first time I've lifted the carpet....should there be all that daylight shining through...

Ta BL, found it at last! Not connected up though :-( The 2 wires go to a black connector but I can't find the other one to connect em to! Rich

Sorry for being thick - I've asked this before but never found it! Should I be looking on the exhaust pipe side or the prop shaft side of the box and is it towards the front or the rear? (TDi300 1995, later model gearbox) cheers Rich

cheers Pete, ta for info Rich

Thanks guys, where is the sender, is it accessible? I'm in UK, my manual's in Spain (Wife packed, that'll teach me!):) Cheers Rich

Driving today on about a third of a tank, glanced at gauge and it was below red but I knew that unless I had a leak, I had some fuel. few mi9ns later it was showing a third again, then it was empty, then fuel light came on, then it was a third but with light on, then empty with light on...bit...

Mine leaks, it's on the 'to do' list and has been since I got the car! They usually leak from the outer end which is sealed and rivetted on but there is an excellent link here somewhere that shows how to drill out the rivets, reseal and bolt it back together. You need (allegedly) to set the...

Ithink the mechanism's the same as a Disco 1, once you've got the door card off it's fairly easy - I did this at the weekend cos my window regulator bust. Just remove the 6 or so bolts and manouvre the mechannism out of the bottom hole nearest the door edge then either repair or replace with new...

well, if you're sure thre head gasket's ok it sounds like an airlock somewhere or a blockage - maybe in the heater matrix - did you flush the system and make sure it was properly filled, with coolant circulating and the thermostat open? test the thermostat too, even new 'uns can be faulty...

hmmm, the nut 'n bolt sounds good but I'd have to take the regulator out for a third time so I think I'll check out the woodshed first........ cheers for suggestions! Rich;)

Just a quick return to this one - I couldn't see any sign of leaks anywhere and I decided to change the fuel filter as I had meant to do a couple of weeks ago when I did the oil. Afterwards, the car ran much better - I thought it was all in me mind but after a few days it is definitely running...

Guess me Disco doesn't like wales! Yesterday, opened the front window and it went down, made a whirry, clicky,I've just bust, haha it's about to start raining, breaking kinda noise and, sure enough, wouldn't come back up....and it started raining. Had a look today, took it all out and the curved...

That's exactly what I thought!.......Where's the fuel stop solenoid then? :p
