I agree with Jai. For info the military use 15/40. I would get a new switch from Paddocks or your local car parts place. It takes 5 mins to fit and from my experience (5 discos and 2 switches) it will fix your problem. At least you'll know that it will require further investigation...

Hi James, yes to all of that except for the tensioner. It's a cheaper one from Paddocks. I've just asked Noel for the OEM Dayco price and it's £56 so think I'll try that to iscolate the problem even further.

Yeh, thanks James, all idlers are fine. This is the second new idler now?

Hi All, I have a problem with the serpentine belt still after 2 yrs of trying different things. My tensioner (which I replaced) still jumps on tickover upto about 2000 revs. So Far the waterpump shaft has sheared and more recently the bolt holding the tensioner on. I've read up on previous...

Hi All, I know this is an old thread, but is still read by lots of people wondering the same thing. I Live in southern Spain and bought a Kenlowe - it's not up to the job if you have a high ambient heat, belting up a long hill. Viscous replaced and better cooling. I reckon with Temperatures...

Thanks for getting back to me - it's a 4 pin diff and I was hoping that you knowlegable people would be able to tell me which one was fitted to a 130 defender?

Hi All, I thought I was clever a couple of years ago by putting a late Defender 130 back axle on my Discovery. It's not a salisbury but is larger than the standard Landrover Diff. Could anyone tell me what it is? I understood it was a wolf diff but not a wolf axle. I just want to know so I...

Or just buy one already done you Tight Git!

Ok everyone - lesson to all. My problem, even after fitting all of the added cooling is airflow. I have a v8 disco with my ARB bull bumper and spotlights in front of the grill - no problems. However, the same set up on my 300 TDI with the smaller rad and intercooler and aircon rad and auto...

Thanks James, that's my train of thought. MD Engineering do a 4 core (instead of 3) replacement for £200. Thats the way I'll go unless anyone comes up with something I've not thought of.

Hi All, It's been a while, but I'm Stuck. Before we start, I've read all the previous threads on overheating and I'm an accomplished mechanic.. and run the local 4x4 club in Gibraltar/Southern Spain. (i.e don't ask me about thermostat etc). Ambient temp 34c and slight hill climb sends the...

Hi All, I've just replace my head on a 300tdi after I cooked it during my return from Morocco (I live in Spain). Turns out it was head gasket failure (cheap one from ****part) and I've replaced it with a new head with extra waterways and a 5ply metal gasket -job done.... I would like to...

Didn't explain very well. The Axle breather thread size in the axle is the tinyest fraction small that the original. SO I've now got my extended breather dangling.

No, came across the axle on a damaged 130 and it's now on my disco

Hi all, I've just replaced my rear axle on my v8 discovery for an axle from a defender 130 - nice, 4pin diff and HD half shalfs. BUT, the axle breather is ever so slightly smaller - is there a converter and if so where would I find one. Thanks Mark

Hi all, I've got a late Disco 1 with 24 spline diff and half shalfs. I'm changing the broken diff and half shalfs next weekend with a donor vehicle 10 spline (rangy). There shouldn't be a problem with gearing should there? Presume the diffs turn at the same ratio regardles and that the...

Hi all, I've just finished retreiving the bits out of the back axle on my 300 V8 and I have a Defender rear diff to replace - ideal I hear you say but obviously mine has a rubber doughnuts on the prop and the rear diff has a different length output flange to the defender/200 Disco one I'm...

Hi guys, After the most awesome day off road I've had my first diff break. It's a 98 disco v8 disco with 24 spline. I'm trying to get another from where I live in Gibraltar and need to know at what age the disco went from 10 to 24 spline. Also, we have a glut of P38 range rovers on the...
