    Disco 1 Is the the EGR sensor? 300tdi

    On my cylinder head, I have this sensor, the plug is broken, and cables cut/snapped. I think it's for the EGR, can anyone confirm? If so, was thinking of stripping back the cables to tidy up. Also wondering if I should reuse the sensor hole for something else (e.g. an improved temp gauge, in...

    Disco 1 300tdi what's this pipe?

    Whilst working on the brakes today, I spotted this stray plastic pipe near the vacuum pump, it seems to run along the transmission tunnel, but not sure where it goes, what it should be connected to at the engine side. Any ideas?

    Disco 1 Making brake pipes, what supplies do I need?

    I have been servicing my brakes, and need to replace a brake pipe. I'd like to bite the bullet, and make my own. But, I'm unsure what I need for a D1 (300tdi ABS). Do I need metric or SAE? What fittings should I buy? Copper or Cunife? Any recommendations on where to buy? Thanks

    D1 suspension - improve ride quality?

    I have a 97 D1 300tdi, it came to me with raised springs/dampers (Terrafirma +4" I think), and tired suspension bushes. The ride quality is pretty bad, harsh and crashing. It's fitted with 235/70R16 tyres. It's mainly used on road, although sometimes loaded heavily, but generally not. My...

    300tdi exhaust leak from Turbo?

    I've been slowly working my way through maintenance jobs on my D1 300tdi, most recently, the exhaust/manifold was blowing, so I took the opportunity to fit a decat downpipe, all fitted fine, with no leaks. However, when checking, I notice I'm getting a small puff of smoke from the back of the...

    D1 300TDi - remove ABS thoughts?

    When I got my Disco, the ABS had been disabled, presumably because of a fault. However, I'm a bit uncomfortable that the ABS pump is still in place, so really should be working or completely removed. So, as I'm going through fixing stuff, I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet, and try to...

    Disco 1 Leisure battery location? (ABS pump, no snorkel)

    About to install a leisure battery, and unsure where is best. The usual space at the front has the airbox intake pipe, I have an ABS pump too, so that restricts moving the airbox. Currently considering: Under passenger front seat, although height is marginal, so not sure that's a goer. In the...

    Disco 1 Going back to standard height, but what springs?

    My Disco feels like the back end is loose, and vibrates over 55mph. I'm going through all the bushes, but feel that standard height is right for me. She's used on-road mostly, with some off-road on farm tracks, and is mainly used for moving DIY supplies (currently breeze blocks), and also...

    Disco 1 Rear window problem, ECU checked...

    Hi, My new Disco had intermittent rear window one side, the other never worked. I've pulled the ECU and resoldered some dry joints, also cleaned all the switches. The intermittent side is OK now, but I still cannot get the other side to work. Any ideas what to check next?

    Disco 1 Wet fuel tank underside possibly diesel?

    Hi, Recently bought a 300tdi, and have a number of jobs to do, whilst assessing the car, I noticed that the underside of the fuel tank is wet, seems to be light and oily, smells a bit like diesel, but unsure. I also seem to have a seeping rear diff (drain plug). I'll deal with the rear diff...

    Hola from Spain, and some TD5 advice please.

    Hi from sunny Spain, I recently decided to get a 4x4, and narrowed things down to to Disco or Defender 300Tdi. Mainly for simple DIY maintenance, lots of on-line support, and cheap spares prices. My preference is for a Defender, but they are pretty scarce round here. However I have found a...
