A lot of snapped belts recently..... :confused: Check the valve stems arent bent. Mine were and werent sealing. I also had a tappet adjuster break 2 weeks after a snapped belt was replaced which caused the head to lift and leak , so if I were you I would change them too, and if its highish...

Good luck with the stripdown / rebuild. Sorry, too far away to help but I may be able to give a little advice. ( Oh dear, I just read it through and its a bit of a ramble. Must be getting old!) So, my old 200tdi snapped a belt a while ago, just idling in a car park. It was under "warranty" from...

Just to add my twopennorth.. I just changed my gearbox and transfer box oils for Evo 1 and 2. I bought it a few years ago with the intention of using it in an earlier 200tdi, but neve got round to it. Did it make a difference? Yes. Car has done 75000, so I wouldnt expect any real wear yet, but...

When I look for a fault on anything, I always look at the most obvious / cheapest solution, because sometimes the solution is simple. I use a process of elimination and get the easy stuff out of the way first. What makes you think its the gearbox? What speed does the humming start and is it...

So, did you check the tyres?

a. :crazy_driver:

The gearbox oil is ATF so very thin and will come out fast when you drain it. Even the transfer box oil comes out pretty quick ( well, mine did!) Did you mean the oil came out when you checked the oil level? Make sure you are on level ground. If it comes out its too full, check to see why. Is it...

If I rolled my Disco several times, I dont think anything would be in one piece when it stopped! The boot floor would be the last thing I would be thinking about though! :eek: Allan

Look HERE for ratios, it lists transfer boxes and ratios for LT230's and HERE for instructions on where to find the serial number nd ratios fitted in your transfer box. Allan

No, mines faster than that! Dont be tempted to buy a cheap rusty one, as has been said before, it may not be economical, or possible to repair some. I spent a lot on my 300 tdi, but it was very low mileage and relatively rust free with new tyres and a nice interior ( working air con was a...

Looks good, I assume you butchered a blade fuse to connect to the line out fitting? Allan

Thanks, I had a search around on other forums..:eek:.. and found that if you buy the rear seal kit parts individually from L/R, it works out cheaper than the genuine kit price available anywhere else ( about £45 all in as opposed to about £75+ for the kit) So, off to L/R tomorrow with a wad of...

......300tdi Disco handbrake shoes, rear transfer box seal kit ( I am assuming this will include seal, fibre washer, new nylock nut and mud seal) and rear drive flange ( just in case mine is worn). I have an oily handbrake and want to replace all the offending parts in one go. So, anybody...

Tie up the electrical connector and blank off the vacuum pipe Allan

Has it always revved this high or just started? any modifications? Revs at 70mph (:eek:) on my manual 300 tdi are just over 2000 and so should yours be. I assume you are using 5th gear?

I think he ditto'd reverse in the original post

Its a lead that bypasses the spider :rolleyes: Of course, you will need to know what a spider is, as far as I can make out its the immobiliser unit on a V8 which commonly suffers from dry joints and other electrical gremlins, so it is usually bypassed........probably, hence the spider bypass...

yes, were taking over!!!! Canterbury eh? Not too far from Sunny Whitstable.. Allan

I just got a spare rear prop so i could change the UJ and donut and replace the whole lot with the one on the car ( shot rear UJ) The bush in the end of the prop came with my new donut. The old one is a pig to get out, its a steel collar with a rubber bush inside. I had to saw through the steel...

Have a read here. Post no9 is the one you want to start at. Its on another forum but details the pitfalls you will encounter. After reading whats involved to do it properly, I think I'll keep mine standard!!! Allan
