    Turbo gone?

    It could be the hose has split or blown off - my 300tdi did that on more than one occasion. They need to be clamped very tightly. Cheers!

    TD5 lack of power under load.

    If the problem is occurring at high throttle openings, I'd be thinking of a stuck wastegate. Not experienced this myself but there was a thread on here about 4 months ago where the poster thought his auto was stuffed, but it turned out to be the wastegate. Cheers!

    Discovery 1 Rotary Coupler

    On a D2, the steering wheel controls take their power from the horn feed. I don't know if a D1 is the same. When I activated the cruise control on mine, it didn't work at first because the horn fuse had blown. cheers!

    On the following link The cost of vehicle tax for cars, motorcycles, light goods vehicles and trade licences : Directgov - Motoring, you will. find a table with the tax rates. This has the proviso "Band K includes cars that have a CO2 figure over 225g/km but were registered before 23 March...

    TD5 front seats into 300tdi??

    Hmmm, I've been involved in this site for about 18 months. I have noticed recently that a friendly request for information gets met by a "do a search" or "google" response. In many cases, a search doesn't always return sensible replies. This forum to be any use relies on an exchange of...

    Heater matrix/wet floor

    You sure it isn't blocked aircon drain holes - when blocked they leak from the area around the heater. If it's a leaky matrix, as another poster says, I would expect the water to smell of antifreeze and have that slightly oily feel. Cheers!

    fitting a new ignition barrel and lock

    Hi, Screwdriver doesnt need to be particularly sharp. What you will be doing is tapping the side of the head of the bolt - slightly on the right hand side. The bolts aren't that tight and start moving quite quickly, and then will undo easily. This is one of the most common Discovery...

    fitting a new ignition barrel and lock

    Hi, This is an easy job - you do not have to remove steering column. If the car is stuck in a car park, remove the plastic covers above and below the steering column - undo screws and the two halves unclip. To get the headless bolts off, use a long old screwdriver, or a small cold...

    Cruse control problem

    Does your horn work? It uses the same supply to drive the steering wheel switches. If the horn fuse is blown, no cruise control. Disco horns are very prone to fuse blowing. If it's not that, it could be a problem with the rotary coupler - hope not cos' they're expensive. Cheers!

    Hand brake lever position

    sounds like your lever has been damaged, possibly the pawl that locks in the ratchet has been reversed - very common fault caused by lifting the lever up too far when taking the console out. The last cog on the ratchet should set your base height for the lever, which you should easily get your...

    300 tdi injector with wire

    If you need a new one for the EDC, the part number is ERR3348. Google has those coming in at about £150. The injectors in 300TDi's are a standard Bosch unit. What might be cheaper is finding a Bosch diesel specialist and see if he can refurb the injector. Cheers!

    Headlamp Adjusters

    If it's facelift, I'm not sure you can replace the motors - they're built into the light units. Cheers!

    New clutch now intermittant tapping noise - Help!

    Sounds a bit like the release bearing - if the noise goes when you put your foot on the clutch and comes back when you take it off that could be it. If it's new, it coujld be it wasn't fitted properly. Is it a Td5? They have dual mass flywheel which can make (so I believe) odd noises. Cheers!

    Jolt when coming to a halt

    Try backing the handbrake off a bit - it could be catching and at high speed you don't notice it, but at low speed you do. My 300Tdi was a bugger for this - I struggled to get a balance between the brake grabbing and having a resonable lever travel. Cheers!

    Door Lock

    Just had a quick look and I can't see the part as a separate part. If it's on the plate which makes up the outer handle, it's not available as a separate part - you would need a replacement outer door handle. Part numbers are: RH no alarm RTC6685 LH no alarm RTC6686 RH with alam ALR2254...

    HEater Matrix and Dash

    From my memory of the Haynes manual for 300Tdi, it's dash out for 300Tdi - 200Tdi could be done in situ. Also defintely dash out if you have aircon - you'll need that drained before you start.

    cuts out while driving....ignition switch?

    I had this on my Tdi and it was the wire onto the injector pump solenoid - I had it cut out in the middle of overtaking someone! Recrimped the spade clip and problem went away.

    Discovery 2 door locks

    To the OP, on Disco 2's, the lock mechanism is sealed, so a new lock mechanism is the answer IF they have failed. The locks do incorporate the door closed switch, so if that part has failed, it may cause other problems. However, I'd expect all doors to be affected. The Body Control Unit has a...

    Would a wireless network affect the remote control

    It is well documented that interference can cause problems with many radio based alarm/unlocking systems. However, as I and another poster said, this is very unlikely to be a WiFi network - they are not that powerful and work on a completely different frequency range. So it's not likely to...

    Discovery grease nipples

    I presume you know that there is one on the sliding part of the front propshaft, which is normally blanked off. You need to remove the blank, fit a nipple and then grease it, then refit blank. If left in place, it will get broken off. Cheers!
