    300 TDI Seat Repairs

    I looked at Emoor Trim. I have to say £100 for a new diaphragm and foam is good value. I even contemplated their replacement seat covers, because they look great too, but I'm pretty sure I need to focus on some more key issues with my limited budget and see what else she has in store for me...

    Well....I am looking for ways to 'pay for' or 'skills exchange' for all the bits and bobs I'm gonna need to get the landy up to spec!!

    300 TDI Seat Repairs

    I was going to do that, but thought I'd have a crack at fixing it for £4 before I spent out on an upgraded diaphragm....and so far so good....though I'm under no illusion that it's still an old seat and will likely need a proper job like you have done.

    Death by Frustration....can it happen?

    Thanks for your help Discool. Hope you had a good time at the pub and didn't get blown away! I'm still not really sure what my next move should be, but I think I'll risk one more attempt at optimism and send the key fob off to be professionally refurbished and tested. If nothing else it will...

    Death by Frustration....can it happen?

    Is the security ECU the green box above the passenger footwell? I was hoping the bypass loom would be an easy plug and play thing, as I really don't care about the alarm and central locking, I just want to be able to drive the car Thanks for the info about remote key though. I'll look into it...

    Death by Frustration....can it happen?

    It's a two button fob, I can try sending it off, but I'm not convinced it is the fob. There's quite a lot of lights on the dash that don't work too...not sure if that's just bulbs, but looking at the state of the wiring I'm concerned it could be something more. Someone else also mentioned...

    Death by Frustration....can it happen?

    My fob rarely operates, but has done in the past. It's an N Reg 300TDI

    Death by Frustration....can it happen?

    Ok, so I'm not sure this is in the right place, but im running out of cheerful enthusiasm and the optimistic (misguided) belief that I can fix my Disco and make her happy/healthy. I have been having intermittent issues with the key fob and immobiliser, mainly that she point blank refuses to...

    300 TDI Seat Repairs

    So, my Discovery has already been nicknamed 'Diva' by the kids as she's so temperamental! We have only had her a fortnight and haven't been able to drive her for half of that due to immobiliser issues. When I could drive her, she slowly released me onto the seat bars as the diaphrahm under the...

    Thanks Littelwill! And thanks for that Marmaduke! It certainly didn't help me feel the lightest of weights when the seat gave way! Started the morning with a definite sinking feeling :p

    Driven to join by 'characterful' Discovery

    Eww! :( I'll try not to cry...so far I keep laughing as I'm being constantly surprised. Driving home earlier, whilst sat on what feels for all the world like a couple of narrow planks, (having already had to sit in the car park for 20 minutes before the immobiliser decided to let me start the...

    Hi everyone! I'm Now the proud owner of a Discovery 300TDI, and having been a landy owner in the past, I know I will need the moral support, wealth of knowledge and particularly the sense of humour that seems to be the mainstay of a forum like this! Having had my Disco less than 24 hours I have...
