Thanks for the replies guys. I'm asking because 20 years ago I helped a friend change the oil on his Chevette and he insisted on using engine flush beforehand. A week later it started to sound like a bucket full of bolts and promptly developed a deathly bottom end knock. After that I swore...

Had the oil and filter changed on my Discovery today and on the bill it said engine flush - £11:00 I've seen the stuff in Halfords etc. but never thought much of it. A friend, who's a fairly handy mechanic (but 300 miles away or he could have carried out the work) says he thinks it's a bit of...

I know what you mean, Nick. I'm not concerned by a small oil leak - it's the lazy man's underseal!:D

They said they wanted to see it again to check where the leak's coming from, as they weren't sure. Sorry to whinge but it just p*sses me off when people do things to your vehicle that you didn't ask for.:mad:

EGR? Sorry, not sure what you mean :confused:

Hello mate Thanks for the reply. It's one of those 50th anniversary models. Green with leather trim. So yes, I believe it's a late-registered 300 series. Maybe I'll skip the wheel cover thing - just concerned it'd get nicked by some thieving gets. One other thing; it's done 64,000 miles...

Thanks for the warm welcome, folks.:) Not bought a welder yet but I'll get looking on eBay...

Hello all Bought a TDi 300 yesterday. It's 1999 50th Anniversary model. I've a couple of questions which I'm hoping some of you kind folk may be able to answer: The window rubbers around the rear windows have started to split in the corners. Not much - about the width of a matchstick -...

Purchased my first Land Rover yesterday - a 1999 Discovery 300TDi 50th Anniversary model. Two owners, 64,000 miles, FSH and all MOTs. All in all I'm very chuffed. Look forward to spending some time on here! :) Tim
