Yep, all done and no more wobble. Next job please........

So far I'm really chuffed with me new Disco and slowly ticking off the jobs that need doing, and adding, if I now including installing an air filter:doh: So after checking out the steering, new wheel bearing, swivel house seal kit etc, I still have a nasty steering wheel wobble 50-60mph with...

Standard air filter box has been 'oiked out so I guess I need to re-install one?

Disco 300TDi

My Disco has a Safari Snorkel but appears not to have an air filter fitted, not got I would have thought. Does it have foam filter somewhere in the tubing that I have not yet found? Cheers Rob

Has anyone tried 100w H4 lamps on their Disco and are they a reasonable improvement, can the loom accept the additional current draw? Cheers Rob

When I remove the EGR valve, what do I do with the two wire plug on the top, will it flag up any fault messages or cause any any other issues or do I tie wrap it away in a corner and forget about it? Cheers Rob

Thanks all, As you correctly pointed out - Wheel bearing problem. Changes the bearing and swivel seal as it was weeping and the brakes are suprisingly sharp for such a heavy motor. Cheers Rob

Another problem - Sometimes when I go to brake, the pedal goes to the floor and they are all but ineffective but when I release the pedal and brake again, the brakes are really good. Pads/discs are new, no fluid loss. Sometimes the brakes are great with minimal pedal movement other times...

When I got the Disco, the diff. lock shifter was pretty solid and difficult to move so I made a point of shifting it between hi/lo diff lock on/off and and it has eased it a treat and now pretty easy to shift across the box. Trouble is that the diff lock light is now permanently on:doh...

I'm new to this Landy lark but so far, very happy with my 300tdi Disco but it already has a few simple jobs that I don't have the confidence to do without supervision, swivel seals, wheel bearing etc. Sods law that the local Landy man who used to run Blue Flames Autos 100 yards up from me...

Hi all (again), My 300tdi Disco does not get very warm, the needle does move but stays at the bottom of the scale and the heater is blowing only slightly warm air. It takes 10 miles+ for the temp gauge to register the small movement? Any thoughts? Cheers Rob

I found a few clues - Leaking swivel and more importantly - Shagged wheel bearing......

Hey All, I'm a new Discovery owner and love the vehicle more each day but I have a couple of question - My Disco has a 2" lift kit fitted minus camber radius arms but the anti-roll bar has been removed. The car tends to oversteer and the handling is ponderous to say the least so I reckon the...

After many years of wanting, lusting and looking, I now own a '96 Disco with a couple of tasting mods, to say I'm chuffed is an understatement. I've chased around middle England looking at Discos being described as 'Solid', 'No problems', 'No usual Disco problems' to see ****e. I finally found...

Hi there, I'm still looking for the right Disco and seen a heap of sheds advertised as 'Solid' and 'No mechanical problems' but I still have faith. Fortunately I'm in no rush to buy so I can take my time but - Is a leaking rocker gasket a common problem on the 300 engine? I've looked at...

Thanks for all of the responses, very much appreciated. I have yet to purchase the vehicle but based on the information I have gathered, a diesel it shall be, hopefully a 300 but may have to resort to a 200 depending on finances. Cheers cbrr3

Hi all, Which powerplant then, a 300TDi with 188k on the clock or a V8 with 109k LPG converted? Regards Rob

Thanks for the Heads up peeps but where should I be looking to get my first Disco for that kind of money? I scour LRM/LRO/LRI and they are all top dollar prices as I'd expect but even the local Autotrader has similar prices and less choice. Advice greatly received. Rob

Thanks for the warm welcome. The possible purchase is a '93 Disco1 200Tdi, needs a new O/S wing and door, 106k miles with no history:doh: Was a Class C write off (BER) so as well as the above work, I need to factor in transport costs to/from Stoke-Derby for VIC etc :confused: Inner...
