    Lost 4th and reverse gears last night....

    Looked everywhere along my travels but couldn't see them :doh: So I left for work in my 300tdi, reversed out of the street fine, pulled away fine although second gear was a bit hit and miss and then it came to fourth which I couldn't even find. Pulled up and found I had no reverse either...

    Will rad weld fix p gasket leak temporarily?

    I'm due to go away in a week and need the car to get me there, though the p gasket is weeping. Thanks to work and 13 hour days I'm going to find it very hard to find time to repair it properly before we go let alone get the parts quickly too. So would radweld fix it up well enough to keep me...

    Starting to feel power! :-o

    Well after buying a **** heap without any LR knowledge I've slowly been wasting away my bank account repairing and sorting things out. More recently I've removed the EGR, replaced all the hoses, cleaned out the intercooler and changed the leaky rad. What a difference! :eek: Anyhow, it...

    Same Rad - different oil pipe fittings??

    I've bought a rad today that's identical to the one on my 300tdi in every way apart from. On the one on the car, the oil cooler pipes slot into an outward sticking thread with a bolt to hold them on and on the one I've bought there's no outward thread but an inward one. Is it a 300tdi rad...

    Can't undo it! :(

    Can't get the bottom oil cooler pipe off the radiator without breaking it :mad: If I turn the bolt the pipe starts to turn with it and is starting to pinch. Do you have any fail proof methods with this or is it just a cut it off and buy more case? 300tdi by the way

    Seat belt question

    Is a seat belt clasp affected if the plastic surround is missing? Would this be an MOT failure?

    Most ridiculous MOT fail ever?

    That's right, the 300tdi failed today - the results are as follows - your opinions would be excellent! I'll put what the fail sheet says in red and the reality of each in black 1. Offside dip beam inoperable - Does work, could be seen to work but was slighltly dimmer cos of a loose...

    300tdi de-cat pipe

    Will it pass an MOT if I fit one of these de-cat pipe jobbies? I'm hoping it will give it a bit more oomph too? The exhaust is sounding a bit louder around that area, could it be that it is a bit tatered?

    Jacking it up

    Would it be fine to use a 2t trolley jack on the disco for removing a wheel? Would you trust it?

    Rumbly whirring noise

    When I get up to about 60-70mph I get the above type noise occuring. I keep telling myself that it's probably just the grill vibrating with the wind as it is slightly wobbly, but could it be something a little more nasty?

    Ordering parts and need quick help

    I'm ordering some bits and don't know wether I need brake pads with or without the sensor bit for my 96 300tdi. Does it make a difference if I order them without the sensors? Anyone know where there is a guide to fitting driver door window mechanism jobby? Cheers

    TD5 > 300tdi

    Are the TD5's any better than the 2/300tdi's? Do they rust as badly as the tdi's? Are they as temperamental? Quicker? What are TD5 common faults, anything different than older models or most of the same and a bit of new stuff to?

    Battery questions

    Looking for a new battery for this 300tdi of mine currently. Best I have found online so far is a 72AH with 660CCA. Is this a decent enough number of CCA or should I be looking for bigger numbers? Oh and also has anyone got some close to biggest possible battery size measurements...

    This fookin heap!! help

    Our 300tdi is playing silly games when starting or should I say not starting :mad: It starts fine on normal days. But whenever it's cold as in the last few weeks it doesn't take much turning over to not start and drain the battery. The battery is a fairly new one (within 6 months)...

    Anybody got a spare.........

    300tdi radiator lying around waiting for cash to fill it's place? Had a look at mine earlier and spotted 2 leaks, major rot and quite a lack of fins. :eek: No wonder it's been losing coolant lately :doh:

    Name that plug socket

    Ok then, under the dash (in a 300tdi) literally below the fusebox door thing and just to the left side is a plug type socket/joint thing. Nowt is plugged into it and I just wondered if something should be or even what it could be for?
