Thank you all. Took off the instrument panel today, and found that the earth lead to the panel was not making good contact.

I have searched the forums for my problem,but has come up empty. During the day the temperature gauge on my 1997 Disco, reads fine, but sometime after turning on the headlamp at nights, the gauge gradually goes past maximum. Sometimes it stays there,other times it creeps back to normal. If I...

Thanks Andy, a viscous fan is fitted . The radiator was renewed very recently.

All flat roads.

Yes the thermostat was renewed.There is no smoke when running or any mixing of oil/coolant.

Thats a costly mistake. I should have had the head skimmed and pressure tested when the gasket was replaced.

I am at my wits end with my 1997 Disco 1, with some 135,000 km on the clock. I had an overheating problem when my black type expansion tank busted. The tank was renewed .All was ok until I renewed the water pump after finding it had a worn bearing. The overheating recurred. The head gasket was...

I've just changed the belt on my 1997 Disco. Working singlehandedly it took me 10 hours. This job requires patience, douple/triple checking and unless you have a photographic memory,marking everything. I made my own engine locking tool, out of a section of 2 inch hollow square steel with short...

Try Part Number PRC991

Looking at the parts catalogue , there are three different thicknesses of gaskets for the 300 TDI. How do I identify which thickness gasket is fitted before I start pulling off the cylinder head.

I am here in the sun,and I've done mine without much bother. First off, I cut patterns using plain wrapping paper,and made the neccessary adjustments before, cutting the tinted material. When using patterns however, be aware that for the front and rear windows (side) that the pattern need to be...
