Sounds like a fair bit to get it right then. May try steel seal. It runs nice and cool even when pushed a bit, its had fresh coolant and a new top hose and stat. Joys of a td5, i need another 300 lol

Hi guys, need some advice. My 15p cylinder head has a tiny crack that appears to pressurise the coolant only when up to temp. Its a not over heating and its only loosing a very small amount of coolant through the overflow pipe over a period of time. I have access to a good 10p head as I cant...

I would personally be inclined to check the operation of your MAF. Most modern diesels will happily trundle along with a faulty MAF, but as fuelling will be set to a pre-determined last known safe setting, mpg will suffer. Most diesel owners don't even know they have a failed maf, because they...

Transfer box like everything a disco is just nuts and bolts, fairly simole to remove but its a big old lump that will require more than one person or a jack and make shift cradle

I had a previous Disco 300 tdi with AC and a full front intercooler. It never gave any cooling issues and that was in summer stop start traffic in 30+ degree heat, off roading and towing. I don't agree with the school of thought to removing the viscous fan, a brand new or fully working viscous...

Something else to look at for sure. That's a really good idea with the gopro. Is weird how it suddenly comes from out of no where when you are cruising at or above 60, like a wave going through the car, and then goes again and wont come back for ages. Shocks are the originals from the factory...

Well I've done a leak off test and it does appear there is a vast difference between each injector. and the pump timing is ever so slightly out. That will fix the engine vibration when I get around to it. Now I have what appears to be a 70mph wheel wobble that comes and goes. So I am now...

Right, update, I have ruled out anything drive train related as the engine appears to be slowly getting rougher. It has plenty of power and doesn't smoke at idle or does not smoke much at full throttle. At idle, as the revs rise when you press the accelerator, you an hear the engine slowly get...

Glad im not the only one, I had previously linked the vibration/drone to lack of power. This is not the case as it now pulls like a train since the decat was fitted (the cat was the original LR one and was almost complete blocked) I am hoping that its not gearbox or transfer box related, it...

Ok so Iv cleaned the sedimentor out, confirmed fuel supply/air in fuel or air supply isnt the issue. Changed the inlet manifold/exhaust gasket and fitted a decat pipe. Its made no difference to vibration although it pulls s bit smoother. It almost feels like a missfire, im now wondering what the...

Because its a rhythmic resonance and because it still has the cat, I am going to fit a non cat front pipe to see if its that. sometimes the flexi can seize and cause a drone at certain speeds etc so may be that. Can only do good even if it doesn't solve the issue. I'm going up to the LRO show...

it did indeed

the old fuel filter had a little bit in it, maybe a 10ml tops, but the sedimentor was pretty much full to the brim as a whole cup full of water came out.

I can now confirm that the same rpm in other gears does not produce the drone. Its is only in 5th at 60 mph at about 2500rpm. The higher the load, the loader the drone, I had a trailer on the back, maybe 400kgs total weight and load, and it made the drone slightly louder. The rhythmic part of...

So looks like in looking in the direction of props and joints. Thanks for the advice, il take a closer look

No thanks I'm trying to loose some weight. The rubber does feel a bit soft but it looks in good nick to me. If it was that or the front prop for definite, I would be half tempted just to by a new front prop and doughnut and be done with it.

it is odd that it only does it in 5th.

I have just had the wheels balanced and the front wheel bearings done. The uj's feel ok but Im sure someone said on here they can feel fine but fall to bits when off the car! Maybe worth a look, it does feel more towards the front of the car. I had a dark thought that it may be a clutch issue or...

I have a 1998 discovery 300 tdi manual. 108k on the clock. At 2500rpm doing 60mph ish in 5th gear, there is a rhythmic drone/vibration through the cab when the engine is warm. When it does this, it seem reluctant to push past 60, even with the pump tuned slightly. (it did this before tuning) If...
