Hi, the handbrake on my 300tdi is rubbish. I think it is mainly due to the odd drip of oil from the transfer box eventually building up and ruining the pads. I even changed the output flange and seals on the transfer box but it didn't take long for the problem to return and I'm fed up with...

Hi After several years of mixing new veg oil with diesel at no more than about 30% when I can find it cheap enough to make it worth while in my 300tdi, I was intrigued to read that some people are mixing used engine oil with their diesel - so as I had a fair bit of used oil and a lot of odds and...

Hi I have a 1997 300tdi Defender, tonight I have completely lost dipped beam, but I still retain side lights and full beam. Several years ago I had a similar problem which turned out to be the master light switch on the columnn, However after taking the switch off tonight the switch seems to be...

Hi, I have a 1997 300tdi, I have been meaning to blank off the EGR but somebody suggested that by uncoupling an electrical plug on small black box under the passenger seat that this will stop the EGR valve from operating. Is this true ?? many thanks

Can anybody tell me the correct operation of the viscous fan on my 300tdi. With the engine at any temperature the fan always seems to be "locked", I can only get it to move very slightly with a lot of force - is this right or should it be running reasonably free when the engine is cool/warm. If...

The clutch pedal on my 300tdi has always creaked so I've regularly sprayed it with lubricant which then drips onto my floor mat, but I've just checked my clutch fluid level and now realize I'm losing a small amount of fluid - presumably this is what's finding its way onto my floor mat. Any...
