It did turn out to be the alternator, it was somehow leaking back through the alternator even though it was charging. I've removed a couple wires from the back of the alternator and this made the battery light go out, but i dunno if its gonna do my electrics any good to run it without these...

Hello, my battery is losing its charge on my l reg 200tdi disco. I can't pinpoint where the problem is. So far i've tried having someone stand and test the battery whilst I remove each fuse thinking this may give me some idea, but it didn't. The battery light is constantly on when the engine is...

I'm currently rebuilding my '96 300tdi 90 on a galvanised chassis and was planning on doing some work on the engine whilst its out. The problem i've been having with the engine is a huge amount of white smoke every morning when I start it and it also smokes a lot when im driving downhill and...

Thanks for the reply, ive taken the foam out and the rubber cover already had a big split in it so I just enlarged it a bit and can see that the shaft that goes into the transfer box is still attached but doesn't feel like it's doing anything, but the linkage is working as it should. there is 6...

Hello, I'm trying to find a site that I can download the manual for my 300 90, Ive tried this one LAND ROVER MANUALS DOWNLOAD, but none of the links work. any ideas anyone??

Nice one! thats what I was hoping to hear :)

oh I forgot to say im pretty sure its a 200 not a 300 discovery.

Hello, I'm thinking about getting an L reg discovery as a temporary replacement for my 300 90. But I havn't ever driver a disco and was wondering how well it would it will cope towing a livestock trailer (full with bullocks) in comparison with my 90?? the one i'm looking at has 144,000 on the...

nice one, thanks for the help. I'll get on it tomorrow and hopefully it will be sorted! :)

well I jacked it up and noticed that wheels have a huge amount of play in them when moved both up and down and side to side. i was told this could be the swivel house bearings? this would presumably affect the steering??

I put in a new steering box on my p reg 300 defender about a month ago and it was fine for a while then my steering went sort of lumpy. its very stiff sometimes then not so much other times. I replaced the steering pump a week ago and it was fine again, for a while, now im having the same...

The belt is also fine, would it help to flush the power steering fluid out and replace it? If some dirt got in when I replaced the steering box that would cause some problems I suppose?

I was driving home last night and my steering all of sudden went funny. At some points whilst turning it seems normal then at other points get really stiff. The fluid level is fine, recently replaced the steering box. Im guessing its a faulty pump:confused:?? Its a 300tdi 90. Thanks

Just wired my cd player into my landy. I took the wires from the cigarette lighter but for some reason when I turn the radio on it stays on for a few seconds then turns off then turns back on for a few seconds then off again etc... Should I wire it from somewhere else or have I just made a...

No worries, bought a hi-lift extreme from john cradock

Looking to get hi-lift jack. dont really know much about them other than they're very versatile. There seems to be a lot of different ones on ebay some cheaper than others, which one to go for? They go from £25 to £55, £25 seems to cheap:confused:. These are the two i'm looking at LAND ROVER...

My battery light on my 300tdi has been on for a while but only faintly, pulled into my drive yesterday and went over a cattle grid and the engine cut out on me. No electrics had been working, when they did they were very dim. Ive tested the battery and its reading 11.5v which doesnt change with...

well when i put the crankshaft pulley back on i noticed that it had a tiny amount of play in it around the actual shaft. The timing was off when i did the belt last time but is it not just going to jump a tooth again even if i reset it because of that play? Im a bit worried im gonna be driving...
