Thanks for the replies. I'm after one as close to as basic as my 300Tdi so a commercial one seems the way to go, no sunroof is definitely a bonus as mine always leaked. Definitely don't want ACE I'd just like a basic td5 so in theory much less to go wrong with it. Do they all suffer with chassis...

Hi all. After having had a few 3.9 Discovery's (200 series and 300 series) and a much loved and many times repaired 300Tdi I have reached the point where the old Discovery has become too rotten to bother with. Boot floor I can stand thru the holes in it, battery tray is just rust crumbs, inner...

Last week happily bombing along at 70MPH on the freeway the car seemed to stutter a bit but then clear itself, but later that day it started to **** me off as it wouldn't rev past 2000 RPM and eventually 1500, I checked air pipes, cleaned the induction filter but still same so I gathered it must...

Just an update to follow this up.. I took the car to my local garage (the ONLY person I trust my car with as he served his apprenticeship with Land Rover and he knows them inside out) and it turns out I had somehow managed to destroy most of the internals of the box, it was a mess inside! I...

No. It's only needed to get from neutral to first or second or reverse at complete stop. 3 4 and 5 seem ok

She actually and omfg I can't strip it that far on my drive :( it going to garage if it needs that!!

If I come to complete stop I let clutch in it won't go to first or second, let clutch out in neutral press it in then it selects first fine. If driving in third but only with third if go on and off with the gas pedal can feel the lever move as if the gearbox is moving but fourth and fifth...

Ah don't think it's that then. If it were it would be same even with the vehicle stationary mefinks. This is when moving so clutch transfer or gearbox or diff I think I just have no luck with this car what so ever :(

Sort of a guide for the gear lever position that can break?

Is that the plastic ring thing ppl talk of that gets hot and melts or am I confused?

Mew :( Okay I'll take it to the garage and tell them it not right. I hate having to have a garage fix it I want something to just once be easy so I can fix it and spend money on boots and not on hubs and gearboxes and trailing arms and god knows what

Would it cause the lack of gear change when vehicle rolling?

Help pls :(

The car drove fine till the trailing arm thing it worked when I got it back then after like 100 miles its being poo does it sound like rear diff could cause this as its when car is rolling it won't select it manages when at a dead stop tho

How do I do this as garage fitted the parts?

Yep. Pretty much everything I could buy new from the LR dealer I did, slave, master, damper, fluid, and hd clutch, hd springs, hd clutch fork etc. The last week I just got the car back as one of the trailing arms at the back left snapped causing the back axle to sway and be rear wheel steering...

You know something I really don't think it's the bias plate. I just took it for a run and its getting progressively worse. Including reverse gear. I put it in reverse. Even with clutch in and all brakes off it would not roll backwards down the hill let clutch out slowly its as if the brake is on...

Hai ppl. Merry Christmas folks. Okies when you all done with the crimbo din dins if anyone could advise I'd appreciate it but my car is giving me a headache.. :( 1995 300 Tdi, R380 gearbox obvs. 184,000 miles. New gearbox 40,000 miles ago, new Heavy Duty clutch 2,000 miles ago with that...

Ah, the changing of the headunit, such a pain in the ass to put the unit back far enough. I've just changed my Pioneer headunit for a Sony MEX-BT5700u and have devised a neat little way of making sure the headunit goes back far enough. The wires and plug block tend to sit in the way no matter...

Sorry for late reply. Yeah you can have it for a tenner plus postage? And thanks for the advice peeps, got mine changed, wasn't actually too difficult, and was a good a time as any to fit my new door speakers too :D
