Disco 1 300Tdi Auto 97 is periodically cutting out, just as if the ignition has been switched off. I then can't get it going again for what seems ages. I know this subject has been covered before and I have trawled the search facility and taken on board that it may be the spider that's at fault...

Hi I am having a bit of a do with my electrics at the mo. I have a Discovery 1 300Tdi ES Auto and periodically my courtesy lights, rear wiper, front intermittent wipers, heated windows, front and back, and front and back wash wipe stop working. I haven't been able to tell which of these things...

I have just picked up a 1997 Discovery 300Tdi ES Auto that has a couple of problems I need to get sorted. One is that my drivers door has dropped and there seems to be a problem with the top hinge. Where it's attached to the door there are 3 torx screws holding it in place, but there is movement...

I have a Discovery 94 300Tdi and the other day I was driving along as usual on a smooth surface when all of a sudden my front passenger door flew open :eek:. My heart just about stopped! I got out and shut it properly, thinking that I probably hadn"t done so to start with, but unfortunately it...

I have just had my 94 300Tdi Mot'd and I need a new trackrod end for the front near side. I'm told there are 2 of them,but its the one that at the other end is attached to the steering box. Can anyone tell me if its left hand thread I need or right hand thread. Thanks in anticipation of your help.

I have a 94 300Tdi and need to top my oil up. The engine has conventional oil in at present, but the question is, would there be any vile reaction if I were to top it up with semi-synthetic oil. I picked it up off the shelf some time ago without looking at it properly and didn't notice...

I have a 1994 300Tdi and have found myself having to put my Landy into storage. I have just lost my licence again because of problems I'm having with epilepsy and it will mean the car being layed up for at least 12 months. What I want to know is are there any things I should probably be doing...

I am off on a very long journey on Monday (1500 miles) and have just discovered I have an oil leak on the oil cooler pipe that goes from the top of the radiator to the rear of the oil filter housing. I have a 1994 300Tdi and I am just a little concerned that this may get worse quickly. The leak...

I'm just about to attempt a change of oil in my axles and swivel pins. I've been looking at Paddocks site and I see they do stuff called one shot grease for the swivel pins. I want to do the best for the car so can anyone tell me what is best for the swivel pins, oil or grease. I assume if...

I purchased a set of 5 locking wheel nuts sometime ago for my Discovery 300Tdi 1995. Under normal circumstances I would not need them living where I do, but I travel south to England occasionally and I feel the need to protect my BFG's. I came to try these nuts today and they appear to be too...

I have started to strip things down to replace my timing belt on a 1994 Discovery 300Tdi and have come to a standstill. I can't get the crankshaft pulley off. When I got to the crankshaft pulley I was shocked to find the bolt holding it on was only finger tight. Can anyone help please by giving...

I have an M reg 300Tdi Discovery with 162k on the clock. Quite out of the blue it has started to vibrate heavily when I acclerate. Also sometimes it makes a really loud clanking noise at the same time just like dragging tin cans along the road as I accelerate and move up the gears. I can't hear...

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have just done a 510 mile trip in my Discovery 300 Tdi (1994) and it ran absolutely brilliant. However I have developed a problem with white smoke coming from the exhaust. This happens at that inbetween stage of accelerating and decelerating, when...

I have recently been looking around for a replacement 300Tdi and the first one I came across was in very nice nick, but it has a problem with its gears. I took it out for a test drive and found that although I could select gears ok on the way up through them, when it came to changing down I...

I have a 1995 dicovery 300Tdi and it requires a new N/S front CV joint. I understand that there were two different joints made for this particular year, a 10 spline and a 24 spline. I have spoken to Paddocks and even though I have my chassis no. they seem unsure as to which will fit my motor...

A pal of mine came to remove the main gear box drain plug on my 1995 300 Tdi this morning and was unable to shift it. Thats with a spanner and a 4' extension bar. He didn't want to push it any further for fear of doing some damage. Can anyone give me a clue as to the best way of getting it to...

Could one of you good folk out there tell me just how easy or difficult it is to change CV joints on a Discovery 300Tdi 1995. Is it likely to be a specialist job or maybe one for the layman?

Having just sorted my last problem out I didn't think it would be too long before the next one made an appearance. When I turn the car to the right on full lock I seem to be getting a triple rapid clunk. It is more evident when I'm towing, maybe the extra weight on the back, and I'd swear...

Having spoken to someone who is supposed to be in the know I am told that gear box and transfer box oil doesn't need changing, it just needs topping up. He tells me that if I were to drain the oil then compare it to the new oil I would be unable to tell the difference between the two. Now this...

I have a 1995 300Tdi Discovery and have a rear passenger door that won't open. I live in a place where the car is constantly subject to a salty atmosphere and in bad weather gets sprayed with sea water. A couple of months ago I managed to take the inside panel off the same door when I recognised...
