Ta for the info, sorry I took so long to get back to you, but life is a bit busy at the mo. It took a bit of time to sort it out, but it seems much better now. I did in fact turn the diaphragm anti clockwise a bit more and it seems to have cured most of the problem. If I turn it too far it is...

I'm sure someone else has posted something like this here, but please put up with me. I bought a 1995 300tdi auto disco a few months ago. Initially, when I booted the throttle, there was a heck of a lot of black smoke out of the exhaust. Going back to basics, White is water, blue is oil...

Technically, because the windscreen is removable, you don't need to test wipers or washers, although they do unless they know what they are doing. Pre 1975, doesn't need an emission test, other than a visual check. If fitted, (generally by the owner) hazard flashers, rear fog lights and...

btw, you can tell the a, b and c suffix boxes, as they have an adjuster bolt for the reverse gear. the suffix d doesn't.

The reason your gearbox is stuck in third is because the syncro hub has broken one or more of it's clips and jammed. You probably find them in the bottom if you drain the oil. From my recollection, although the 3 box has more syncro, it's not quite as stong as the 2 box, unless you can get...

btw, don't get one that's had a 4 litre perkins (?) fitted unless you like driving at 40 mph everywhere, with ear defenders on.

I agree with the parabolics, I did mine and it's a LOT better in the comfort zone.

Going to be a bit of a shock for you after driving a disco 2. Do you have any friends who have one and would let you drive it? No power steering, crap turning circle, run over a twig and know all about it. Need I say more? With a few mods it'll be nice.

If the system hasn't been used for a while and knowing that landies tend to be a bit bouncy, I think I'd fit a filter just to stop the odd bit of rust getting up the gas line. It's only a piece of gauze in a brass holder, but it stops most things. To clean it, turn off the gas at the tank...

It depends, most modern systems have a filter in line (costs about £3.00 and takes 5 mins to change), but the old ones aren't that fussed. From memory, apart from the vapour diaphram going up the shoot (in which case it won't run at all), it generally only needs adjusting. Bit like altering...

When you first switch over to LPG, it still uses the fuel in the carb up. So essentially it's using petrol and gas. It's flooding. (Fuel injection engines don't have that problem, as they cut the fuel off at the injectors, on the fuel line). If it doesn't run right after that, the mixture is...

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Does anyone have information about what the economy valve spring on the 36iv carb actually does? And why some 36iv carbs have an air correction jet infront of the valve and others not? Please help, confused..........

Just a quick hi and hope you folks can help me with a few problems I've encountered along the way.

Why bother to change the cam when you can upgrade it by moving the camshaft timing? Works for me!
