Selling my 300TDi disco 1. Car is running / driving but needs some TLC. Currently has an MOT but it wont get through another one, although current MOT is until Jan next year. Current issues that I know about are : Sunroofs leak. I have covered them over in clear vinyl which helps massively...

Afternoon all. Apologies if this has been asked before, but im after some new boots for my 300TDi. Im thinking the AT route is the way to go, my driving is mostly on road however, I do venture up over farmland when there's a motorcycle trial on (and being in the landrover, I always get the...

Evening all. Got a real strange problem with my D1 300Tdi. Its been an awesome tool, never let me down and still carry on going but she's unwell. I run a 50/50 veg oil / derv mix. Never had any problems with it, however this problem is there on diesel and veg. In neutral, in gear, driving...

Morning all. Quick question. Am about to remove my 300's EGR system. Noticed the EGR has a 3 wire connector on it? I also want to remove the solenoid device, but this has a few small rubber pipes on it. So, will i upset any vacuum by ripping all that out? Also, what are the wires...

Morning all. this morning, found out the disco has heated mirror. I didnt say mirrors, as only one of them works :) Oddly, its the same side that the electric mirror movement works. So my drivers side mirror, doesnt move with the electrics, and also doesnt heat up. Is there a common...

Hi all, my 300TDi disco has a fuel leak. I have noticed before, some drips under the tank. However, on the weekend it took it to a whole new level ;) Filled her to 3/4 full of WVO, then drove to the local garage to top off with Derv. Filled it until it clicked, job done. Cap on, went in...

Seems both my inner wings on my Disco 1 300TDi are past it. And the front body mounts look a bit shot too. Anyone in south wales good at welding this sorta thing looking for a job? ROugh estimate on price? Cheers Kev

Hi all. Recently replaced the lift pump on my 300TDi. Noticed a tapping noise coming from the engine last week, between idle and 1500 RPM. Cleared above that. I thought it was an injector, but on closer inspection its the primer arm of the lift pump bouncing up and down! If you hold...

Hi all - wanting to find out what you veg oil burners mix with, and how much. I found that getting closed to 70% WVO / 30% derv was causing lumpy running at low RPMS. Anyone mix with a little petrol?

Hi all - just snapped one of my keys for my 300TDi.. am about to buy a new barrel and keys (I have another key, but the key/barrel is worn and its a pain to turn the key, i think thats why its snapped so ...) has anyone got one here in decent nick they want to sell before I approach the crows...

Have noticed some fuel leaking on the floor at the rear of the disco, drivers side. Looking underneath its coming from the tank, must be at the top as it doesnt empty out overnight. Anything common? sender unit im thinking ...

Hi all - anyone know of a way I can clean my engine without access to a steam cleaner or a pit? If im going to have any chance of solving this oil leak Ill need to clean it all up first. I was thinking, using something like Brake cleaner to spray on the engine then a pressure washer afterwards...

Hi All.. anyone ever come across this before. Say, your driving along at 30 mph, low revs (not low enough to stall out, say 1500 rpm, engine not under much load). The car feels jerky, as if im jittering the throttle up and down, that sort of feeling you get when you let off the throttle...

Morning all... just wanted some conformation before i order bits. My clutch pedal on my d1 is playing up. It sticks down about 1/2 way, but it seems the first 1/2 of the pedal is just floppy, as if the cylinders are knackered. Am going to order a new slave and master cyl for the clutch...

Hi all. Have been working my diff lock / low high lever about trying to free it up. Low and High are getting there, I can now select them easy enough. I can now move the lever over to the left too, but cannot get any Diff lock light on the dash. So, can someone confirm : Should the diff...

Hi all, where's the best place to fit my 120a leisure battery? I have a simple split charge relay system to reinstall for when we go camping etc, any ideas? 300tdi. Cheers!

Morning. Any idea what stops the diesel running back when the engine is stopped on the 300TDi? Mine takes a whole lot of cranking to get it to start after its been standing a few hours. Same symptom as if you have changed the fuel filter, and are priming the system up. Im going to...

Hi all, is there a common fault with the alternator fitted on the 300TDi? I started the car this morning and the battery light was on, alternator belt was squealing like mad for about 20 seconds, no rev counter, etc. Sounded as if the alternator was seizing up.. then all of a sudden the...

Hi all... finally got my Disco 1 300TDi 97 :) Most things are well... just a few niggles to sort out. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. The indicators go double the speed they are supposed to. All bulbs are OK, and flashing but when i initially indicate, the little...

Hi all. Am going to be purchasing a Disco soon, got a few people on the look out for one for me. I currently drive a Transit van (Old school Smiley MK5 Di) but, need more than 3 seats and have always fancied a Disco so... I'm competent with mechanics, but not so with welding (odd that, seen...
