Sorry - should explain the pics - pic 1 plugs at dash end - pic 2 rear door amp plug - pic 3 close up of wires in pink plug from pic 1. Cheers Andy

Hi all, I know there are loads of threads on this but i can't find exactly what i'm after so i'd just like someone to confirm - am i missing a wiring plug? I have a 1997 300tdi jap import with the standard UK Disco stereo + CD changer but the rear subs in the back door don't work. I have checked...

Hi guys, Thanks for all the replies - i'll have a propper look tomorrow - now i know how it should all work. The vehicle has been fitted with a tow bar with twin electrics before my ownership so i wonder if someone has buggered about with the loom when fitting that. I'll report back when i've...

Hi all, Before any one has a pop – I have used the search facility but can’t find the answer I’m after. What is the correct operation for the rear brake and side lights on a 1997 R plate Discovery 300 Tdi (Jap Import if that makes any difference). I have found that when you put the...

Hi guys, Quick update - removed sump today and had it welded up as the second hand one i had sourced was also cracked in the same place - dry as a bone now and gear box filter replaced. Quick question though - after re-filling the box, going through the gears and checking the level when cold -...

Cheers Discool, Had a proper look last night and at some time in the past someone has over tightened the large dipstick tube nut and fractured the sump where the neck of the tube comes out. Didn't notice this when i bought it as it wasn't dripping and stupidly i didn't dip the auto box. Doh...

Hi all, I have a slight leak from the auto box on my 1997 300Tdi - it appears to be coming from where the dip stick tube enters the box - i've not attempted to disturb anything yet as before i do i'd like to know if there is an 'o' ring that makes the seal (and obviously get a new one) or is it...

Hi Discool, Tried starting the disco tonight without the fob next to the ignition and it started no problem so i have to assume that there is no immobiliser - i'll speak to remote key tomorrow re: retro fitting an oem system - failing that i'm off to get an after market alarm immobiliser fitted...

Hi Matilda - glad to hear i'm not alone. Hi Discool, Thanks for the info - however this weekend i've had a look in the passenger footwell and the green alarm box is there - or is this just the immobiliser part? I was also thinking that when the new MPH dash clocks were fitted could it be...

Hi all, Just picked up the above from another forum member - very please with it however i've noticed it appears to have no alarm. The previous owner never bothered with it however i'd like to get it working or get one fitted as i'm currently having to rely on a rather cumbersome disk lock. I...

Hi guys, Quick update - adjusted the box last night - 3 flats down on the allen key screw - the freeplay in the steering has now gone and the slightest movement on the wheel now moves the drop arm on the bottom of the box - so the steering is probably now as good as its going to be for a disco...

Hi all, Quick question - i have play (not excessive -yet) in the steering on my 1993 200Tdi - i have recently replaced all the rod/drag link ends etc and beleive that i have traced the play to the steering box itself - there are no leaks on the box and no air in the system. So i assume its...

Hi guys, Just thought i'd add a bit of info for those guys running non- standard wheels/tyres from my own findings - admittedly this is on my bora 1.9Tdi. With the standard 16" alloy wheels running 205/55/16 quality tyres i was getting an avg 56mpg - due to my vanity i changed to some...

I'd be interested to see how this one turns out - any update? A colleague at work sold his Td5 as it was handling very strange and none of the garages it went to could diagnose the fault. Admittedly he never took it to the stealers or a Land Rover specialist - just traded it for a...

One thing to take into account is how high will it lift the lump - you've got to get a good height to clear the slam panel and Land Rovers aren't the lowest vehicles to begin with! I used a block and tackle on a suitably strong beam - but i suppose thats only an option if you've got a suitable...

I wasn't suggesting that you swap the entire injector just the nozzel and you probably wouldn't see 20hp but certainly an increase in hp and more importantly torque if the spray pattern was improved. The other consideration would be if fuelling is increased would standard boost be sufficient so...

Hi Sean, Thanks for the info - just what i was after. It would appear that the 200 and 300 injectors are near identical however the nozzels are different. The 200 has DSLA 145P208 nozzels and the 300 has DSLA 145P336 nozzels. Does this mean the the 300 nozzels deliver more fuel in a better spray...

Hi there, Does anyone know of a resource on the net tht can supply me with the full spec for the 200Tdi injectors in terms of opening presuures, nozzle size flow rate etc? I've had a look but no joy. Cheers Andy

Cheers for the replies guys - like i said nothing against the auto just wondered if it would be a fairly straight forward swap. I'll start looking for a jap import then. Seen a few advertised locally and i'm not to far from car equality but their website doesn't see to be to clever. Thanks...

Hi all, New here. Have used the search facility but no joy - although my question has probably been answered previously. I currently have a 200Tdi - but wife wants something a bit newer - have read all the discussions on whether to get a Td5 or a 300Tdi etc - general concensus seems to be 300Tdi...
