Hello All, I have been fighting to get my 300tdi running right after a cambelt snap on the motoway. In the process of doing the belt I had to take off the cam pulley to get all the broken belt out but now I have a suspicion that the cam timing is out as its very sluggish and drinking fuel...

Hello All, please can someone tell me if the valve clearance going from a 3 hole to a 2 hole should be any different?

Hello All, I have recently had a cambelt snap and after refitting everything I am having a popping noise though the snorkel. I have replaced the head complete with valves etc, had 2 damaged pushrod sliders all replaced but now I am down on power and I think its fuel related, could the cam be a...

Evening people. I have recently recovered from a cambelt failure and put everything back together etc but for some reason it feels like its being held back (like hand brake being on a bit) until you put your foot to the floor and its goes fine. It was stood for 4 weeks, and with the engine...

Hello All, I have just replaced all the rocker arms, shaft etc and cambelt to a new kit after a failure. The problem I am having is it is hard to start now and when its cold it doesnt have the usual diesel rattle, its sounds like the engine does when its warm, is this a timing issue or more...

Hi All, I had the dreaded cambelt snap on motorway yesterday, all pushrods are bent and 3 rocker arms snapped. Question is, is there anyone who sells the complete rocker shaft and rockers, spacers etc as a complete kit or do I have to order individually and assemble? Many thankd Delwyn

Hi all, can anyone point me in the direction of someone ho may have a D1 300tdi EDC, ECU, AS10 unit and matching keyfob/s please? Mine have cocked up after plugging in a stupid Lynx Diagnotics thing and now it wont start.

Hi All, I have had the ABS light come on intermittantly on my D1 300tdi and the blink test showed air gap in front right, so I pulled it out, cleaned and refitted and tapped in gently, however when I now come to brake on a normal road, dry, at less than 15mph the ABS kicks in with pulsing...

Hello All, would someone kindly tell me how to wire in a push button start with a toggle switch for ignition on a Discovery 1 300tdi?

Hello All, I have a Disco 1 300tdi EDC which sometimes when you turn the key it will not crank, its the last bit of the key turn is where nothing happens, all the lights go out as it is sending all power to starter as normal. Starter is good and power to everything is fine, this happens...

Hello All, I have what I expect to be a fuel delivery issue with my 300TDi Auto EDC. Yesterday I was driving along and all of a sudden it started to feel like it was running out of fuel, any throttle input made it feel like it was out of fuel. I stopped and turned it off, after a while of...

Hi All, I recently changed the oil and filter in the auto gearbox and its not acting the same as it did before the change. Before the change it used to hold overdrive up hill at 60mph no issue and had to be pretty steep for it to kickdown. Since the oil change it kicks down at any opportunity...

Hello All, I have a 300tdi Auto which yesterday on the M6 dropped all its gearbox oil. Are there any common seals that go? The suspect area is around the lower oil cooler pipe but I have taken this off and it all looks OK, next is to have a look at the dip stick tube. It must have been a...

Is the lift pump on a 300tdi the same for an EDC as it is a non EDC? Im suspecting mine is weak as its taking forever to start when left for a while. I have replaced the Fuel Sender Unit, Glowplugs and fuel solenoid and still no good. All pipes are good and fittings as I have chased them from...

Hi All, I am having a problem with my 300tdi EDC where when I try and start her up, as soon as she fires it dies. The only way to get the engine to run on its own is to keep turning it on the starter motor and add throttle. Once its running its absolutely great. I have changed the stop solenoid...
