Cheers Dave I'll have a look today. Col

Cheers James Col

I just don't like garages ... I phoned them at 5 and they said it was done and ready to collect. So jumped on the bus and off to get the truck back. They charged me .... £140 I asked how that broke down. They said ... recovery on Saturday .... £20 ( they towed me a mile...

I've just rang them and spoke to the mechanic. He says he has it on the ramps ... He's taken the slave off and put a camera inside. He says it's all good in there and the fork is absolutely fine. He says the master cylinder all looks good so he is just going to repair the thread and fit...

Hi Dave Glad you sorted that. Well the spacer idea looks as if it should work and I now have a new bolt tightened up ... time will tell. Col

A guy that sells loctite told me to just repair the keyway and don't mess about ... just get 660 all over the shaft and get the damper on. I said that 660 is used in areas where you don't ever need to get access as it is rated as strong. He said that all loctite will release if heated to 200c...

Well .... Garage has just phoned. Mechanic says that he just had a quick look under car. He says that one of the bolts that holds the slave unit to the gearbox is just turning and doing nothing. He says the bolt is ok but it's not gripping on the thread on the gearbox. I asked him about...

Hi James Thanks fof reply Thankyou re reverse switch. Fuel pump leaks from accelerator shaft. I'm not too worried about that. I've read all about that on the net and the local diesel injection specialist ... Dales of Burlsem ... said that the O rings are only 80p. However they said that...

Cheers Gazbo. I hope you are right mate. Col

Cheers mate

I can live with the lights. S/H engines are looking at about 450 ish. Then fitting ... prob a few hundred more. I can't afford that. I suppose problem is ... if I'm breaking it ... what would I end up getting for it given that the crankshaft is knackered ( so engine not worth a lot )...

Cheers Bio Replacing engines will have to be something I have to pay the garage to do. This engine has supposedly had a new head gasket a few months back. A local garage towed it away when it wouldn't start and fitted the new set of glows ... and they broke one of the old ones off. So it...

Just a thought ... What box will this 94 300tdi Disco have in it? Is it the R380? I'm just thinking if I have this job done and they have to get the gearbox out ... The car also has the problem where the reverse lights come on for an instant when you select reverse but then go out...

I've just rang Tariq who runs the garage. I love his optomism lol. He says they are going to look at the car now. I asked if he could take the slave out and see if the problem may be more internal as I didn't want it to start costing me if it was going to be a big job as the car will...

Ok guys thanks So I presume that if it isn't just a slave/master replace then it's a big job. Any idea of how much at the garage? To be honest I've had enough of it now. I've repaired the crank keyway 3 times since Christmas and I'm not sure if that is going to hold. So I'm...

OK So are his quotes realistic? Col

I've had this Disco a few months and it's just one thing after another. I've just had 2 months of starting problems and the damper pulley keyway problem. Today is the first day in a long time I've actually started her and decided to go out in her with some confidence. Oh dear ... I get 3...

Hi Steve Not sure if I've sent this twice. Clutch pedal stuck in today at Tunstall. I had to be towed to Lloyds. Fella there said it will cost 130 to 150 quid. ffs Col

Hi mate It failed again but I think it was because the bolt's threads were bollocksed. So I've done it again with a new bolt. Hopefully it will work and last. I went to Tunstall today and the clutch pedal stuck in. I could put it in gear but the clutch was in constant engage and I had no...

Ok Gratch ... I'll reconnect to chassis ... and I'll get down to shiny metal first. Nicedayforit ... yes cleaned them but thankyou. Hi Dave ... where do I connect to block. I just put the original earth lead to where it would reach on the timing casing. Bio ... I see what you are saying...
