I had a similar issue a couple of years back following a timing belt change, I took it straight back to the mechanic and he immediately rectified the problem for me, it turned out the pump timing was very very slightly off, after it was re-adjusted to the correct position I never had a problem...

"Stanleysteamer, post: 5516465, member: 107273"]"Classic" is more of an emotive word and probably means different things to differnent people. And who is to say who is right and who is wrong? I totally agree, I would describe mine as a classic but I completely understand that not everyone would...

Hi all, I'm interested to get peoples thoughts on the Disco 1 regarding whether it is now thought of as a classic car or just an old car that's a useful source of parts for a Defender, I'd also be interested to hear what peoples definition of a classic is and what the requirements of classic...

Got the message and replied, thanks everyone.

I think I have still got one that I bought a couple of years back as a spare and never used, I'll have to have a look for it, if I do still have it then I don't really need it as I also have the full set that I took out and replaced with a very low mileage set I managed to find and purchase, the...

So although he said he knew exactly what was wrong with it he came up with two possibilities that anyone could have guessed at and then tried to sell you another unknown vehicle. Not sure I would be using that guy in the future. If yours is an otherwise good vehicle then spend a few quid and...

Hi, I'm looking for some grey leather electric heated seats in reasonably good condition, also the sound/heat insulation pad that is attached to the underside of the bonnet and the gutter trims.

That's strange, I wonder if it could be a gearbox problem but I don't know why it would only do it while going up hill, I suppose the throttle input in relation to the road speed would be different going up a hill compared to a flat stretch of road but I'm not sure what else would change, I...

Could be many things, start with the basics, when were the fuel and air filters last changed, is the lift pump operating correctly, do you have any vacuum leaks, is air getting in to the fuel system, is this the only problem or are there any other symptoms that might be related, has it done this...

I was considering changing the old Disco 1 for a Disco 3 or 4 but in the end I came to my senses and decided to put a few quid into the devil that I know, I reckon it will still be going strong long after some of the later ones that I was considering. My vote is Disco 1 every time.

I guess that's a matter of opinion, mines EDC and I'm very happy with it but not everyone would agree with me, I have a spare pump sitting in the shed incase its ever needed and a No4 injector that I acquired for a sensible price plus another full set of injectors so hopefully I should be ok.

I don't think it does, I believe I'm right in saying it was 96 to 98 autos.

I really don't understand why people don't like EDC, mines been fantastic. Oh no, I hope I'm not going to regret saying that.

If you suspect it could be the No4 injector why not try swapping them over from one car to the other and see what happens, you never know. If it does turn out to be your problem I could let you have one of my two spare ones.

Glad you got it sorted. My old 200tdi used to start no matter what, if the battery had enough life to turn it over, even slowly, it would start, and I believe the 300s with the mechanical pump are pretty much the same regarding starting, but the ones with EDC definitely need a good battery that...

I think you may be focusing too much on old fuel, diesel doesn't degrade like petrol and six months is nothing to worry about. Mine is EDC and always starts instantly whatever the weather so long as the battery is in good condition and swings it over well, but if the battery is weak there's no...

Hi, I think you have a fueling issue rather than gearbox, I would start with the fuel sedimentor, fuel filter and lift pump. Good luck and keep us updated.

They are always a bit fiddly but will come out eventually, make sure you have pushed the keys all the way in, once they are fully inserted they release a couple of clips on each side of the stereo which should allow it to be pulled out of the fascia, however, if you pull straight back on the...

Hi, I can't help much with diagnosing your problem I'm afraid but hopefully someone will come along with some good suggestions, I'm aware that the No 4 injector can play up which is why I have a couple of spares (if it turns out to be that let me know and we can come to some sort of an...

Could the noise you are hearing be coming from a bearing in the knackered alternator and therefore nothing to do with the engine?
