Im going to drop the headlining on my D1... its the only way I can see that I can guarantee that when I re-cloth the head lining, its not going to leak and ruin it again. For now though... I did this :D

Ah ok cool ill try that. This landy of mine has been used as a Chelsea tractor for a few years, so things are a little stiff ;)

Hi all. Have been working my diff lock / low high lever about trying to free it up. Low and High are getting there, I can now select them easy enough. I can now move the lever over to the left too, but cannot get any Diff lock light on the dash. So, can someone confirm : Should the diff...

Thanks for the replys lads. Changed the fuel filter this morning and noticed the tank-return from the last injector was off lol ;) That and my lift pump appears dieselly damp, i guess thats knackered too haha! Will get the lot changed this week. Am getting there with this truck.... :D

Hi all, where's the best place to fit my 120a leisure battery? I have a simple split charge relay system to reinstall for when we go camping etc, any ideas? 300tdi. Cheers!

Its only ever done it once, I'll check belt tension today and check the antifreeze for leaks, cheers :)

Morning. Any idea what stops the diesel running back when the engine is stopped on the 300TDi? Mine takes a whole lot of cranking to get it to start after its been standing a few hours. Same symptom as if you have changed the fuel filter, and are priming the system up. Im going to...

I believe so yeah. Ill whip the belt off later and take a look, make sure all is free. That coupled with the fact that after its been standing for a while it wont start... lol Im thinking there's some sort of problem also with the diesel line. Its as if, after a while the diesel is...

Hi all, is there a common fault with the alternator fitted on the 300TDi? I started the car this morning and the battery light was on, alternator belt was squealing like mad for about 20 seconds, no rev counter, etc. Sounded as if the alternator was seizing up.. then all of a sudden the...

Indicators sorted, bad connection to bumper lights ;) Now have bumper rear lights also working, getting there!

I bet thats what it is. Ill go check later :) (am stuck in work atm) :(

Hang on... 8 bulbs... i only see 6. Im guessing there are meant to be indicators in the bumper too... ?

Yep all bulbs are flashing, and the tell tale is flashing once, which as you say is correct, but the indicators are going way too fast. Its as if a bulb is out, but it isnt..

Hi all... finally got my Disco 1 300TDi 97 :) Most things are well... just a few niggles to sort out. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The indicators go double the speed they are supposed to. All bulbs are OK, and flashing but when i initially indicate, the little...

Still got it? Am interested.

Fingers crossed I may have found one locally that is in "great condition"... yeah will see when he actually lets me look at it :D Hopefully will sell the van monday so the hunt can really begin :)

Brill, looks like it will be a Disco1 then as as far as I can see the TD5 engine doesn't like the Veg oil :) Am used to driving my old Transit Di so anything is going to seem a luxury compared to it :)

Hi all. Am going to be purchasing a Disco soon, got a few people on the look out for one for me. I currently drive a Transit van (Old school Smiley MK5 Di) but, need more than 3 seats and have always fancied a Disco so... I'm competent with mechanics, but not so with welding (odd that, seen...

:) Sure, was going to (was just answering the question lol!) Cheers, will catch you around. Kev.

Not sure yet, was going to be my next question. It needs to be a diesel. Non TD5 i believe so I can continue running on WVO. I have a good supply of quality rapeseed oil and already have my settling and filtering process down to a T. The transit has done 40,000 miles now on WVO with very little...
