Changed the alternator today for a recon one. It's cured my intermitant rev counter but now it under reads. It ticks over around 500 rpm (which it obviously isnt) and 2k rpm feels like around 3k rpm. All wires are present and correct. Any ideas:confused:

Anybody done it and just kept the back box? Are they noisy or just throaty like the TD5's? My box is battered and has a hole in it, I have some heavy duty flexi-pipe that I was gonna weld in its place but don't want it to be defening. I have already removed the CAT (by cutting a flap in the CAT...

Right, I've f**cked up. I bought the oils to do my box's and diffs. 80/90 for the diffs and transfer box and mtf94 for the gear box (300tdi manual). In a mad rush ive put the mtf in the transfer box and the 80/90 in the gearbox. I know im a plank:doh: I was thinking about leaving the 80/90...

Anybody know where I can get one from for a 300tdi? I've looked of flea bay, there's Rover resistor repair packs but not one specifically for landrover. I've also looked on paddocks website but can find anything. A repair kit would do, I don't mind doing a bit of soldering. Can anybody...

When I bought my disco it had done 113k, it's a 1997 R reg 300tdi. I bought it, put some offroad tyres on it and went to a play day... where I got stuck in some water without a snorkel, result; hydrolock After much investigation I had bent a rod. So I changed the bent rod, using the original...

Right. I got some insa turbo dakars for my disco, which at first seemed ok in the mud and loose gravel. But now ive found my off road feet they just don't seem to have the grip I need. My question is: Is there any tyres that give better traction for the money than insa turbo special track's...

I want to upgrade the intercooler on my 97 300tdi disco. Does anybody know what intercoolers fit from other manufacturers? I think i've seen saab and iveco mentioned while doing searches? Obviously it's to do with where the pipes sit. Has anybody fitted an oem intercooler from another...

I'm thinking of tinting some windows on my disco. I use it for shifting my dogs quite a bit and reckon they could get fed up of the sun in the mush on long journeys. Plus I hope it'd make it look less like a greenhouse. I'm open to suggestions... has anybody tinted and done something they wish...

Ive damaged my rear bumper whilst off road on my 300tdi and its doing my head in being damaged. There's a big dent in it and both end caps are missing. Im thinking my options are: 1. Remove it completely and fit 200 rear lights so I have indicators. 2. Remove it and fit a heavy duty one 3...

Hi, I've got a bit of a problem with the diff lock and gearbox on my manual 98 300tdi. I'll try and explain the best I can... Ive done a couple of pay and play days with my disco... the first time I went my gearbox was fine but I was informed my diflock was jumping in and out. The second time...

Hi, After a couple of playdays at kirton i'm finally getting down my list of "things that need fixing for next time"... I went through some water and it went over the bonnet and into the blower intake causing steam to come out of the air vents. Now the blower and heater still worked fine...

Hi, I got stuck in some water while offroading and it has caused a few probs. I have sorted everything apart from my dancing rev counter and central locking. It seems to be getting worse rather than better as everything dries. Im quite new to disco's so i'm looking for ideas. The water did...

Hi, Ive had my disco 1 300 tdi for a month now.... I went to kirton (nr S****horpe) last week and got stuck in the water. which resulted in hydrolock. Should've got a snorkel!.... Ive managed to sort the alarm and changed the oil and all filters but I have a 'miss'... Ive changed the injector...

Hi, Ive had my 97 discovery300tdi a week now and am loving it. I changed the oil, fuel, and air filters along with the oil yesterday. Ive done a 180 mile round trip in it today and everything was fine for the first part 90 miles. Then returning home I noticed on idle the oil light came on...
