My Disco 1 has the usual holed floor and I want to replace it , being handy myself with a Mig welder I am planning to do this in the next couple of months so I am gearing myself up for the job in hand .I have seen some really nice replacement boot floors which have been riveted in place ! now...

I think it speeds up with revs when cold . I will get a good used replacement , unless when its off I can free it up a bit .

How free should a viscous cooling fan be when cold with the engine not running ? Should you be able to spin it ? or is there drag ? Mine has a fair bit of drag , so much so that I honestly think that the fan runs the same speed as the water pump pulley wether engine hot or cold !, resulting in a...

Yes Dave, it was the diff lock stuck on .With regards the smoke on start up it looks grey not blue . I was wondering if this will effect the MOT ? how bad must things get before a fail ? I've never owned a diesel before so not sure what is tested on exhaust emissions on a 1991 TDi as theres no...

I went under my Landy today to check out the operating mechanism before trying the reversing technique . I had my father move the transfer box lever from right to left while I observed from underneath , yes the short selection arm does move slightly but not far enough ! I helped the lever...

Thank you all for your helpful responses , I will try all of these in the morning and post the outcome ( hopefully positive ) cheers .

Hi , thanks to the member who suggested my diff lock might be on , I think it is !!!! how can I get it off as far as I can see the transfer box is in 'H' unlocked but the diff lock light is on !! Anyone got a remedy to get it out of diff lock ?? thank you .

I've just removed and replaced the gearbox to do the clutch , I wonder if I've accidentally selected diff lock !!!! how do I check for this , cheers .

I've just changed the clutch on my 200 TDi and all went smoothly . I would like to point out to others attempting this task that I found the use of a simple tip of great help , this is it :- I cut 4 lengths of M10 stud bar into 25cm lengths , once you remove the 4 lower gearbox to engine bolts...

Hi , my 200TDi goes clonk , clonk ,clonk ,on full lock ( or just approaching full lock ) it sounds really nasty and people look around to see ! but goes when I start to straighten up . I reckon its the CV joints but I would like some opinions on what it could be . Also when on gravel I can hear...

I think you've sloved it , if there are two types I've got the wrong ones ( typical ) mine have the ball joint adjusters fixed to the actual unit as you described.

Sounds like the replacement ones I have , maybe I need to change the adjusters on the front panel so that they will fit . How exactly do they adjust then when the screw thread is fixed ?

Hi , no they dont , the old units seem to have swivel threads ( like on ball joints )lattatched to the actual light unit . The replacement units have solid threads attatched to the unit that are fixed .

Can anyone help me please , -I am looking to change the headlights on my series 1 ( 1991 model ) so I bought a tidy pair from eBay a while back . I deceided to change them over on the w/end but when starting to remove my old units I noticed that the adjusting screw is different on the...
