im replacing the front and rear output shaft bearings on my 300tdi transfer box. Does anyone know whether to grease them up, or smother in gear oil given that's what'll probably keep them lubed up whilst running. Hopefully this clears the whining noise I have in all gears. They were rusty and...

I've looked through all the threads on this, but can't seem to find the answer, so don't chastise me I've just managed to remove all the injectors on my 300tdi and given them a clean up, as I was getting a bit of smoke on idle and more when revving. From the threads on here, it appears I have a...

hi guys, I've had to replace the lower steering column, the piece with UJs both ends. It seems about 10mm too long. There is a funny looking bolt a third of the way down which appears to have a sliding mechanism but God knows what tool you use to undo it to. I don't want to use force to allow...

Ok, I've looked at a lot of the threads on here. My 1996 has suddenly decided to not start on the key. I've put a brand new starter motor in it, and charged the battery so it's not either of those. It's not a seized alternator as I've checked that I think it's got something to do with the...

N reg 300tdi disco, indicators not working, but hazards work fine. Any ideas? Would it be the relay given the hazards work or the whole light/ indicator stalk? Thanks Scott

Does anyone know where to get the ball joint fixings from that secure the headlamps on a 300 tdi. its the bits attached to the light itself that appear to be broken, not the section on the car. There plastic and have snapped. ebay appear to have listings but they are for the Male part and...

HI guys, just fitted a 2nd hand steering box to my N Reg 300 tdi. filled the reservoir up with a litre of fluid and noticed a very slight leak coming from the top of the box as you look in through the bonnet. There are 4 nuts in a square and one in the middle. Its the larger one in the middle...

The bearings in my blower are making a hell of a noise. Can they be greased up at all, or do I need a new heater box. Anyone breaking one at all. Cheers Scott

Hi, tried to remove the drain plug from my 300 tdi and the plug just spins. There is no leakage at all, but it wont unscrew completely. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to remove it without damaging the plug or the box. Thanks, Scott

Hi, Last February had a second hand drivers side front front hub fitted by a reputable mechanic (friend), as the wheel bearing went. He rebuilt one he had and he is not a micky mouse mechanic, so everything would have been done properly. He topped up the axle filler with oil, but to make doubly...

Hi everyone I have a 96 300tdi Disco fully modified for off roading with 265 75 16 INSA tyres. I have 2 problems. when doing between 55 and 65 on the motorway, the engine is getting very hot, and the temp warning light comes on. If I slow down, or stop, it obviously drops and the light...

Hi everyone Came back from a recent laning trip where I bent one of my rear trailing arms so the axle moved towarsd the front of the vehicle a couple of inches. With the aid of a mates winch, I managed to bend it back to drive it home. The red oil light (oil can) has come on and is...

Hi, any help appreciated. When I am driving in say 4th gear and push the clutch into change down, there is a force that makes the car rock forward as if something heavy is in the boot of the car, moving from the back to the front. I have had a good look underneath as I was told it could be a...

Hi, this is a bit of a weird one. When I change down a gear, say from 4th to 3rd there is a large forward rocking movement as if I have something heavy in the back that suddenly moves forwards in the vehicle. Imagine the movement of a slide hammer, on a larger scale:doh:. Could it be a gearbox...

When going from a high gear to a lower gear when the clutch is pressed in, I get a klonking sound and it makes the car rock forward momentarily. I have removed the front prop and put it in diff lock so its just the rear drive and it still does it. Would removing the prop or having a knackered...

I have a bobtailed disco with a 300 tdi lump in a 1990 (200). it has a 2 piece exhaust system. The downpipe has been decat, leaving a rear section that has one silencer near the connector to the downpipe and the rear silencer has been cut off. I want the rear section to have no silencers...

I have a 300 tdi lump in my 1990 (200tdi model) that has been bob-tailed, I bought it like this. It has a 2 piece exhaust systemfrom what I can see. The front section has done away with the cat by the looks of it, it seems to have a flexi sort of section just down from the turbo. The rear...

I have a 300 tdi lump in my 1990 Disco and have just experienced a drop in power whilst driving down the motorway. The turbo seems to have got louder and the power dropped off. I have a burton intercooler fitted. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be. There doesn't appear to be...
