Hello all. Firstly I am sure I have read the answer to this before but I've not managed to find it with a good search. I do apologise for asking a question again that has definitely been covered somewhere before. My 300tdi disco1 has had the abs pump removed by my local independent and...

Hello I have been offered a bull bar for a tempting price, the current owner thinks it fits an early discovery or defender. My understanding is that the two have very different fittings indeed and it is definitely not a defender bar. That said it looks very similar to a few rangerover bars I...

Would air entering the return side of the system alter the way she runs?

I sent the better half to plumb the new fuel line in whilst I did the timing belt and sure enough the nylon to brass bit snapped off. I also changed the radiator, thermostat, and amcillary belt. Leaving off the air con drive belt seems to turn the air con button into extra electric cooling fans...

Once it arrives in the post i will to running a new fuel line from tank to lift pump and will give those a good look. Many thanks.

The box averages two trips out a week all year round, and frustratingly all four wheels were spinning freely again when I got to it today. The wheel bearing a brake pivots on the suspect wheel got regreased none the less though.

Interestingly whilst the diesel purge has now vastly improved its ability to make sizable puffs of black smoke on the overrun, and made it run a good bit smoother, a new clue has emerged... The only time the thing gets near full throttle is when towing (for the most part it gets driven very...

It has the electropneumatic modulator and boost sensors bolted to the body, no airflow meter, and the throttle directly connected to the injector pump by a cable.

Many thanks, its a 300tdi. Oddly it would appear to be an EDC with a manual gearbox and a cable operated injector pump retrofitted. It used to go like the clappers so I know it has been functional at some point. I failed miserably to undo the fuel filter for inspection after getting carried...

A quick update, running from the tank it has as much air in the return line as from the jug of purge.

hello My disco has been down on power lately and also had stopped smoking when given the boot from the lights. I suspected the sedimenter was leaking air into the system as the filter bleed produces bubbles but also ordered molylube diesel purge to give the rest of the system a scrub out. She...

She says it sounds like a relay, only audible in the cab, fairly quiet, coming from the passenger side foot well All the usual dash lights come on but not the immobiliser failed light (it stays off like it should), but the engine wont crank at all.

Hello, I am away from home and unable to get to my 300tdi disco, it is left with my (fairly capable) better half, i hope to get to it this weekend to work on it myself but any suggestions for work she can do in the mean time would be helpful. Since coming back from a clutch change it has had...

Many thanks.

hello I bought a late disco1 over in lincolnshire, an ES model with all the bells and semifunctional whistles which had it seemed been resprayed nato green. It is on a p reg mainland plate. Since then i moved to northern Ireland and checked it in for some serious welding work. The chap who...

See updated first post.

So both front wheels spin freely without moving the diff input flange. The diff flange wont turn in either direction with either wheel off the ground. Am i right in thinking this means there must be something jamming the diff and a component failure on each side in order for both wheels to...

Took the horse down to Cavan for the hunter trial last weekend, disco loaded up likely to near max gross weight and then towing a very unaerodynamic 2.2 ton. The temperature guage never exceeded half way but was down on power needing third year on some slight motorway inclines. Once i put the...

So chaps, new master cylinder fitted and it is much better. Interestingly it was a non abs master cylinder fitted. Still some air in the thing by the feel of it but i will try and hunt it down on monday. With a swift pump i can now get the abs to activate going downhill so hopefully that will...

Ive been tempted by a reversing mirror. No wires to complicate things.
