So I just replaced the gearbox in my Disco 300tdi. Everything seemed just find initially and now I've taken her for a long run 5th to 4th is blocking, only allowing a change to 4th if I nudge 3rd first. Is there a fix of some sort other than ANOTHER new box or rebuild? Really don't...

The disco needs a new gearbox and a new/recon box will cost around £500. I'm looking to sell it now as I need a car with good economy so what I wan't to know is will it be worth getting a new/recon box on her then selling? i.e. will I make a better profit doing this or should I just stick a...

Hi guys, I have a 300tdi Disco with clutch/gearbox issues. I've had a crappy 2nd gear since buying it but with careful changing it's fine. Recently it's got a little worse, then the clutch release arm broke at the start of one of the forks. Replaced that and it drives... after a week...

After hearing what seemed to be a louder version of turbo whistle when I put my foot down I pulled off the M42 to find my engine smoking or steaming or both! Water was empty, engine roasting and steam coming from the big hole in whats left of the thermostat plug... I put some water in the...

Fitting +2" pro comps shocks Friday on my Disco 300TDi. Anything I need to know that isn't obvious or easily overlooked? Seen these bush isolation washers 8 x Long Travel Shocks + 5 inch Pin / Pin Shock Absorber Bush Isolation Washers | eBay and wondering if these should be fitted . Seems...

The diff light on the dash of my Disco 300TDi stays on when in diff lock but when not it still flashes on and off randomly... is it a switch easily replaced??

Hi, Been offered +2" Bearmach HD springs for £50 used but only done a few hundred miles and as I need new springs I was wondering if I could use my standard shocks with them for a while till I can afford extended shocks? Also as they're off a 90 so would they fit a Disco 1.. I assume they'd just...

Just thought I'd show my effort at extended bump stops as I didn't want to pay around £60 for a set. Construction is hydulignum (hard as nails laminate) base, 4 layers of tyre and vulcanised rubber top. Cost was just £12 for the vulcanised rubber :)

I made some extended bump stops based on the dimensions of one I bought for my Disco 300TDi after fitting bigger tyres. Now coming to fit them and the rear off side one wont fit as there is not enough room. Any ideas? I was wondering if the springs might be knackered?

I have a Disco 300TDi running nicely on svo. I'm looking at putting an electric (dual spark plug) fuel heater in for when it's really cold and to ease starting. I was wondering if my mate would be able to run his TD5 110 on svo with one of these heaters installed? Any ideas? EDIT: ok having...

I have a Disco 300TDi and just been given five 235/85/16 tyres so I'm looking at what I need to trim. Disco Tire Fitting Guide says Rear fender trimming Front endcap trimming Steering stops Possible bump stop height. are there any guides on doing this? Cheers

It's a Disco 300TDi and has central locking but I was wondering if it would originally have had a remote key fob as it didn't come with? It does have electric windows if that helps.

My Disco 300TDi drivers door handle has broken. The lever you pull to open the door was damaged when I bought it but continued pulling on it has snapped it leaving a small sliver that I now have to grip with pliers to actually open the door. Anyone know of an easy fix? I hear you have to...

The cows udders that is my 300TDi headlining looks crappy so was thinking of getting the head liner from a 200TDi and putting it into mine as I read somewhere just the other day that the 200 liner doesnt delaminate and suffer the sag.. that correct?? EDIT: may well have read it on here.. and I...

It's a Disco 300TDi and When idling it chatters/rattles untill the clutch is dipped and it sounds fine. Had a couple of people say different things. One said prop shaft rubbers and another said something to do with the clutch. It had a new clutch plate in before I bought it but a mate...

Rear wiper motor needs replacing but they are expensive even 2nd hand on ebay. The one I have has 2 sockets, one small 2 pin and a larger 2 pin. The older and indeed cheaper ones have wires attached to them. Compared to the one I have; 2 where the small socket is and 3 where the large socket...

I'm looking to put a new head unit in my discovery 300tdi and would like to be able to use the current controls around the steering wheel or fit new ones if possible. Anyone know how to do this if it's possible?

The rear wiper on my Disco 300 tries to do something, you hear a noise but nothing actually happens... however.. if you give it a little help it goes through the motions. So the motor is working.. in some shape... just seems like it can't be bothered or is v tired. Any ideas what the issue...

Disco 300tdi is the vehicle. So I've cleaned the switch and connected the passenger window to it and that works fine, so switch is ok. I've put a meter on the plug for the window's switch and it registers 12v, so the switch has power to it. Checked fuses. All ok. I've replaced the window motor...

I'm looking to get a lift kit for my Disco 1 but I'm not sure which kit or what I need in the kit. I want to take it off roading now and then so bigger off road tyres are in order but before getting mud or all terrain tyres 265/80/16 or similar I want/need to lift her up first. Some lift...
