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 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...

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...

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...

Hi Guys, We have a good club down here in Gibraltar and as mentioned previously are more than willing to accomodate any visitors on their way to morroco as you'll be on our front door step. On another point, if anyone wants to bring a 'on it's last legs' defender/disco/rangie down have a play...

Hi, I've looked at the other thread regarding exhaust mods. I live in Gibraltar and a local company are willing to remove the cats and centre box for me as I've requested a straight through pipe. I only use the car off road and want the smiles per gallon effect. If I remove the Cats, will I...

can anyone tell me if I do away with the abs pump on my 300 v8 and route the pipes as normal, will it be ok? or is the master cylinder etc purely for abs? i've got brakes but very hard pedal. Took it to my local dealer who says the pump is f...cked. (he put it on the machine). Any advice...

Hi, I've got a Disco 3.9 EFI (cat model). I've had a look at a few websites. I'm very undecided about keeping the car as my old TDI has come up for sale again and I may buy it back. Does anyone know of exhausts at the cheaper end of the market? Failing that other recommendations? The Car is...

Hi, I have a 3.9 1998 Disco 1. I've not owned it long and it's dire on acceleration. I've given the Vacuum advance a suck and can get any pressure so thats a good start. My question is that all the Dizzy's i'm looking at are listed as '3pin' and older 3.5's are listed as needing a 2 to 3 pin...

Hi, I've got a 300TDi (80k on the clock) and it's a lovely sounding engine (as good as they do sound anyway). I've noticed lately that it will rev up to just over 2k revs then all of a sudden the turbo cuts in like you've flipped a switch - similar to a v8 when wet running on 6 then firing on 8...

Hi everyone, I've had landrovers for 20 yrs and I'm not sure what to do. I've got a 300TDI and have some money coming soon. Fancy buying a new 2.4 Puma Defender but a bit scared of the electrics etc. Sense tells me to buy a nice 300TDI save my money and have all the spares or replacement...

Hi Chaps, Everyone mentions about the lack of off road clubs in southern Spain. I have found many people in the same situation. It seems to me that at some point we should all get together and maybe start a club or group? We all have a little knowledge of certain areas, we all want 'weekends...
