1996 ES 300tdi So, having found info on here about switches I dismantled and cleaned. No joy. Driver seat only moves with door open. Clue or designed that way? But up/down simply produces 'clicking noise' underneath seat now. (The seat did lower a second ago) Tilt and fore and aft work ok...

It is time to sell my old Series 2. Log book series 2, but looks like series 3 inside and out. Reluctant sale, but cannot see me using it again. Used to get me to and from work and give me fun on gentle off road tracks and in winter it was fantastic. Re-built from the chassis up. Always wax...

photos attached. Found water dripping on it, so dried it and applied electrical grease and filled hole above it to stop more drips, but what is this part, please? Thanks

I want to check all my earth connections. Are there any locations I am missing from this list (found via the search on this forum, thanks) engine to chassis battery to chassis battery to inner wing gearbox to chassis? starter motor to chassis ecu earth where? ign earth via the...

300tDi, ES auto, gearbox 1996/7 Driving along, applied foot brake, went to accelerate again and found disco had stalled. Indicators stopped working, wipers, cigar power outlet failed (only live when ignition is on) i.e. it was as if ignition had been turned off. Pulled into layby...

disco 1, 1996 300Tdi. Alternator kicks out 13 and a bit Volts (and I know that is already low), but turn on air con, or even side lights and the volts (measured via a voltmeter that fits into cigar lighter from New Boat Gear - [I don't think there is much voltage drop from battery to cigar...

I am thinking of the snow that has arrived. I have a set of xcls, but they are a bit worn. Dont' really want to faff with snow chains. Saw this on ebay, item number: 281052662379 Have no idea what it is - has anyone bought / dealt with this seller before or got an idea what they are selling...

My box is leaking. I have ordered some Lucas "Stop Leak" Lucas Oil Products (UK) - Heavy Duty & High Performance Lubricants as per a thread on here advised and will try it because my leak is small...I have bought a Litre bottle £20 seeing as 340ml bottle was £10.50 (Do I chuck the whole...

Sorry to drag this up, but I am in a dilema. Spent two days reading the threads on this forum; loads of 300TDi owners use veggie oil apparently (or used to - old threads). How many of you have used it for a long time and had NO injection problems? A thread from this site led me to here...

Said it wouldn't go over 30mph and black smoke out the back. Yeah right I says. Well she was right. Ok, so it had been smoking a bit lately (120k (as far as we know) 300 Tdi, auto box). From what I searched on here it could have been overfueling (coz it was black), turbo pipes delaminating...

... or have come across it before. Disco 300 Tdi, automatic. 100k miles Making a new and odd knocking / rattle noise from underneath and when going over rough ground, say a potholed carpark. Disappears when brakes applied, but appears to still be there when going uphill and accelerating...

HI, Which service do you recommend? AA RAC Greenflag etc? I have a disco, automatic and if they need to be taken home you need to be on the back of a recovery truck don't you? It's not good to be towed is it? So which service is the most ready to send out a lorry?

Anywhere cheaper than paddocks? Then again, I guess I need good ones as the alloys are nice, so what type do you recommend, and where to buy from. Thanks

Just read all the old threads on diff lock. Didn't help. Sorry if this is daft to you, but I'm coming from a series L/R and the handbook is still in the post. Got this 1996 300Tdi Auto box ES Permanent 4wd. The diff lock lever - first, how stiff should it be? When got vehicle...

Oh ****. As soon as I get it home, the rear door jams shut. Fixed that. Now, the dash board has come up with "CHECK ENGINE". Haven't got a hand book yet, or manual, and there is quite a large chunk of engine there to check piece by piece. Any one give me a clue what's going on? Why has it...

Just been watching a second hand car show and the low prices were scarey. I'm going to look at a 1996 disco, 75K miles, scratchy metalic paint (hit a few twigs off road), auto box, Es, leather driver seat not cracked, rear got a big scratch on it. If all turns out honest and straight, what do...

Hoping to buy a lovely disco. (It's an ES - don't really want all that electric stuff - too much to go wrong- but the engine and chassis and body coondition on this one are great) Anyway, it has air bags. Now on my ffff Ford, when you first turn on the ignition, if the airbag light comes on...

Hoping to buy a disco 1997, 300Tdi Where is the engine number and chassis number (just to make sure match up on log book) Thanks
