So Flux decided to increase my premium by a factor of 4.... Despite another years NCD... Yeah. Wont be renewing that's just taking the micky. Who else would people recommended for a modified D1 as a second car on 10k a year?

So I was looking about at how to stop my LT230 box dripping on my Disco 1. I thought perhaps it might be worth carefully lapping the plate flat if it was warped or nicked or scored on the mating face. Or perhaps the Landrover way and a thick gasket and a lot of Hylomar. But then I found this...

So I found a nice book in the secondhand shop... First print run of that edition. Nice almost unread condition. Keep me occupied this weekend.

For not much money at all actually. A very nice clean, P38A diesel with as far as I can tell only 52k on the clock. It's currently stood in a barn after its own had a stroke and it just got left... Turned it over on a jump battery and it wasnt stuck, although I'm worried about rusted bores I...

It's a state of mind... Just had some random guy stop me at the office and say "I used to have a landrover, I've got something for you" Complete rear mount twin jerry can holder and two nice jerry cans. Free. Just because he knows I'll use it as it was meant to be used and look after it...

So after a trip back from the Carpathians I have an oil pressure issue.... Car is a 96 300tdi Auto D1. New radiator fitted, cleaned out the autobox rad (not sure that's relevant but...) and has the original pressure sender as far as I know. Engine has 160,000 on it, bottom end never touched and...

Bet you are all sick of overheating 300's and people asking about them. Just crossed Europe. No problems at all in regular driving, round town, motorway, no issues at all. Climbing big hills in the Alps, on full power at high revs, basically on maximum possible power she starts to warm. I get...

Just had a lamp come on on my 96 300tdi auto. Climbing steep hill well a mountain actually very slowly behind someone. It's a red thermometer in a circle that could be a gear wheel. Upper left part of the instrument panel. Fairly sure it was the autobox temp warning. Just wondering if anyone can...

Bit heavy on pictures so apologies in advance.. After having a lot of fun getting the engine ready after a power steering failure, a box failure, and me breaking the injection pump from leaving the timing pin in, and then starting it..(doh) we finally got on the trip to Romania... Crossing...

So rebuilding as much of my 300 as I can without actually disturbing the head. Rocker shaft stripped off, all looks good apart from atrocious clearances (all at 0.6mm plus) Minor wear on the shaft, no scoring etc. Bushes look fine in side theres no excessive wear. The manual says to clamp the...

I've a 300TDi auto. 1996, been set up as a bit of a mud plugger. Bought off a mate. Unsure on the history, but he isnt the sort to skip on servicing when needed. 150k miles on it though... Fundamentally, it's OK. I'm due to go on a trip to Romania at the end of the month, and I've prepping out...

Came to change the diff oils on the new landy (just before I got her a little hot - see my other thread) and dumped out the old oil. Rear diff fine, looked quite good. Front diff - black and turbid. I presume that the oil seals are gone and the swivels and axle fluids are mixing. It has the one...

I'm possibly worrying, but just wanted to sound advice. I have a N plate disco 1, stock 300tdi auto. Just got it, and after some careful prodding about I took it for a couple fo short runs, and then a longer run up the M62 from Leeds. So climbing up the long hall to Rishworth, the temp gauge is...

So I posted on here a while about swivel hubs and got some useful help. Then I started restoring it and cleaning ujp rust.... and found more rust... and a bit more.... and ended up with crack that ran from the rear boot floor all round the wheelarch up along the sill and finshed somewhere up...

I just bought my first Landrover, a red Disco 1996 Tdi300 mk1. She's got just over 100k on her, runs nice, and I've been helping a freind maintain and look after her. He's now got the Landcruiser bug so I bought the Disco... I'm running about underneath at the moment looking at things to fix...
