I have a lot of play in my front prop shaft, it rotates through a questionable degree even when van is in gear, and/or hand brake on, also been hearing frequent clunks and brief strained clicks from underneath when pulling away after gear change or increase in power. UJ's seem ok, prop shaft was...

i need to provide proof to my insurers that my disco is fitted with a factory immobilizer, anyone know if this is the unit?

Is it OK to use standard aluminum/alloy rivets on my disco? heard about certain metals not behaving well when together in the presence of an electrolyte(salty water), i have cheqrplate riveted to mine and would like to rivet a temp repair plate on a hole under my seat, i don't know what the...

just seen this ad, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120515082744&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1182vehicle looks good, but i'm a bit confused as it looks like a post 110NA judging by the dash and steering wheel, but has had a retro fitted 200tdi, and is registered 1992...

this caught my eye, can't afford at mo, but a fair guide for next year or two? Informed that an engine of this type just needs regular care. what do you think? 1987 Land Rover Defender 90 2.5TD . Chequer Plate Kit on eBay (end time 13-Jan-10 13:30:00 GMT)

I have to locate and inspect the fuel pump on my fathers 2005 td4 FL, can't seem to locate anything relevant to this model in the RAVE i have, seems to only detail models 'til 2003 , was there a later edition covering the later cars? or does anyone have silmilar documentation? Thanks.

just went out to make myself useful and gloat, found an m3 alpina bmw thingy with rearwheel drive and sporty tyres spinning all over the shop, offered him a tow home, got him out of trouble and then started a very slow hill descent, nothing dramatic, just chocka with other traffic, he started...

Hi there, got to remove the crankshaft pulley, as part of todays timing belt change, i dont have the described tool that'll retain it in place, whilst i unbolt, it has been suggested from past experience with other vehicles that i lay a aocket bar across the chassis rail from the puley nut...

I am to change the timing belt on my 300tdi on Friday, prior to a big trip next year to Europe, Looking through the Rave manual on the subject, it highlights the need for a torquemeter to be secure in the correct belt tension for the job, i've been asking around some auto factors about, what...

Don't know if any of you can help me with this, but i require or would like some insurance cover for my garden maintenance and tree work sideline(which has actually been taking precedence of late), i have chainsaw license, and want to be covered for bringing down trees in folks gardens...

there appears to be a high rate of oil loss from the injector points on the engine head(300 tdi(( stained after a gunk clean, seems regular due to small patches under car)), are there any seals that i can replace at this point, is it a straightforward task? Do i have a serious problem? Thanks.

today right, i was down the breakers yard and i looked under the bonnet of a disco1, there was the weirdest looking engine in it, it had fuel injection,4 spark plugs( that i could find) and a turbo charger on it, also it was really big, the top cover was wide, flat and unmarked, there was an...

getting ready to submit 1998 300tdi for MOT, the drivers side sill has varying stages of rust developed surrounding drainage holes and an especially large one, since i got stuck into it, at the point where the body joins the chassis outrigger before the rear wheel arch. Is this an MOT fail...

Going to get some prices on a new battery for a 300TDI what amp rating do i need to be looking at? Thanks.

i was checking today if my clutch was working having bled it. Having not replaced the front prop shaft, i noticed that the car wouldn't move fwd, and recalled reading somewhere that it won't unless i engage difflock, as my diff lock doesn't work, i had to forget about this and checked by...

in my local breakers today, there was a couple of pukka looking landies, and one of interest too. one was a lwb series 3 petrol truck cab with a canvas tilt(camoflage paintjob), drives, chassis needs some welding and rear panel damaged, otherwise it looked good, up high to avoid pillaging, guy...

Doe any one have any experience of removing the clutch pedal on a disco, the return spring is worn on mine, and i got no return on it. Haynes claim i have to remove the entire pedal box, steering column, and airbag, is there a simpler way?

I just got a price for new tyres on a 300tdi, i need to get the tracking aligned correctly as the current tyres have worn on the inner edge, the tyre fitter, immediately said he couldn't do that for me and i'd have to go to an LR dealer, is this common and if so why?:confused:

Does any one know what the little, staple looking like, clip on the bottom of the clutch fork for an r380 gbox is for, and how it fits, its seems really poxy, and i can't see the point, and i'm fiddling with it now, and it seems(seems!!?..whatTF am i talking about.. it does?!?!!)to drop out, am...

I've just acquired a fair amount of unused rapeseed oil at a fair price, question is, what's the best way to use this for fueling my 300tdi, and a VW van? to refine it and get involved with biodeisel production, or a simple diesel/rapeseed-oil mix (50/50?)?.
