Thanks to all for replies. Also a special thanks to Wreckhunter it seems you were right on the button. I checked lever position as you said and it never looked right, Dismantled top end and found a crack in the bias plate which surely is the problem allowing it to flex too much to one side...

Not sure, Will check that in the morning. Thanks.

No, No off road just normal docile running around etc. What do you mean by linkages ,Is the lever not direct to the selector mechanism.

Anyone out there give me any help on the following. My 92 Disco has run excellent since I bought it but this week suddenly I am having gearchange problems. When I now try to change from 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th it is as if there is no direct entry into the gear I am seeking or to put it another...

Thanks for reply but I am pulling the shaft out as far as it will go and can hear clonk of the metal reaching its extreme outer movement. Sure is a mystery this one. I am informed that the clearance is crucial so I must get it solved somehow.

:confused: Anyone got an answer to this problem I have at the moment. I have just completed replacing my 90 swivel seals. on completion I fitted the driving member flange I find I cannot get the circlip on the halfshaft with the original shims that came off of it. Only a couple of thou out but...

My 200tdi has a vibration feeling appears to come mainly below driving position although some can be felt other areas. Done most of the obvious things, Prop ujs, Brake disc, Wheel balance. Worst at around 50mph then if I dip the clutch and coast runs silent silky smooth would not think I was in...

Anyone give me an answer to this . As all will know when we remove a prop for repairs ,Manuals always state that you must mark the flanges on axle and box flanges otherwise it will cause balance problems. Right now as I am about to buy a NEW prop how will this perform without the vibes as there...

Thanks for reply.

Hi all, Noticed something today on my Disco I would like a bit of comment on before I work on it. Had a rear wheel off today and noticed that a rear brake disc was completely rust covered on braking surface except for approx one inch of shiny metal in thr centre where the pad must be...

Went to Tescos this morning with the wife to get our shopping. As we came out a lady was waiting and approached us saying would you do something about your bullbar on the Disco. When I asked her why she said it is extremely dangerous as she had walked into it and hurt her leg. What should I do I...

Having purchased a timing kit of tools to change my Disco belt soon I was intrigued to hear of a guy who replaces belts on many vehicles including Discos without any special tools. I must say I have never heard of this method before . Which is as follows, He cuts down the centre of the belt with...

Thanks for that info 220. Surprised the large amount of oil in these engines .As you say you get what you pay for and that is why I stressed Best Oil. Thanks again for rapid reply and information. I can now treat the old girl to some nice clean lube. Chas.

About to give my recently purchased 1992 200 tdi Disco an oil change, Notice that there are different confusing grades, Names,Synthetic,Semi Synthetic, Mineral, etc. Could someone suggest the very best Castrol type of oil for this model. As I keep reading that these Engines rely on good lube to...

And now for my next one ?. If it was not so annoying it would be funny. I thought I knew a thing or two about motors but this has me beaten. Never taken any of my vehicles to a repair garage in 50 years of motoring but getting near with this one. Come on all you Landie experts think of...

I Recently bought myself a Mk 1 Disco. Unfortunately had to call the AA man out at 11pm stranded in a car park. The engine was turning but nothing firing. The AA guy managed to get it running and informed me the Engine Stop Solenoid was duff. Next day I purchased a new solenoid and fitted it...
