The 300Tdi is generally considered more refined than the 200Tdi, so you must have been comparing against a particularly tired 200Tdi. The 300Tdi is very reliable indeed, so long as you keep on top of basic servicing, and don't let the coolant run low. The 300Tdi has slightly more power and...

Hi I recently bought a 1996 300Tdi disco, the plan is to use the car for some greenlaning and moderate offroad. Its got 128k miles which appear to be backed up by service history and MOT's. When I first bought the car it was a bit down on power, but since then I've cleared out the fuel...

Why do you need a vacuum servo for disks? Whilst the mechanical "self servo" action of twin leading shoe drums sounds good in a text book, in practice those old front drum brakes hark back to the dark ages, always going out of adjustment and don't work well when wet. On the old escorts and...

200Tdi and 300Tdi are both derivatives of the original landrover engine. Very tough and very durable. The 200Tdi is pretty unrefined but the 300Tdi isn't bad at all, also its got a wider spread of torque than the 200Tdi. Either engine is very simple to fix if it breaks, and all parts can be...

Sorry if this is a silly question but why are you fitting solar panels?

Most of the pdf links on that estonian website are now dead, I suspect they might have got their wrists slapped for putting copyright material up. However, I downloaded everything while the links were still alive, pm me and I'll send you whatever I can

Whats this site for if its not to advise people on jobs like this? You need to have a long think about it, the 200Tdi is a bit rough, and you'd have a fair old bit of work so unless the V8 bodyshell is really good then it could be easier just to buy a complete 300 Tdi disco, which is a much...

Plated/non plated makes no odds really best way to prevent siezure is coat them with some anti sieze compound (eg copper ease) prior to assembly. Also whenever I'm under the landy I give all exposed threads a squirt of oil or grease or whatever. Stops things getting too nasty and rusty...

There's not many places can do EUI injectors, and seeing as they are dearer to tool up for AND not as common as say common rail injectors, many firms feel the volumes don't justify the investment. Hence a smaller the number of very specialist firms actually doing them, serving a wider geographic...

I've not actually used waxoyl for a long time, at the moment I'm on a 25 litre tub of Shell Ensis fluid (which IMHO is better than waxoyl). One thing I would say though, you need to use a compressor and proper wax injection kit (eg Sealey SG18), this allows a decent conical spray which gives...

Common rail is totally different, the Td5 uses Electronic Unit Injectors (EUI). FWIW most modern diesels are generally able to produce better low down torque through the use of variable jet turbos, although I don't know if the td5 uses such a device. I find my TD5 has far better torque below...

Don't know about the Td5 but you can't sucessfully bleed the clutch slave cylinder in this way on a Disco 1. Doing it manually (ie pumping pedal) you just can't get the air out. The only way is to use a pressure bleeder (eg Gunsons easibleed), I struggled for hours the first time I did mine...

The duty difference between LPG and petrol is suppose to be capped for the next 3 years. One thing to bear in mind is LPG needs the ignition in top-notch form so might be less tolerant in water. Another thing the 300Tdi seems to more durable than the V8, which has a fairly hard life lugging a...

There is no vacuum on a diesel, but if he had a split boost pipe you wouldn't think it would take off once it gets to 50mph. How does it behave if you try holding it in one gear (eg manually shift it into 3, rather than let it try and downshift from D?

It doesn't sound like your fuel pump really, there's usually loads of excess capacity in them. Besides if you were getting fuel starvation the engine would be spluttering and hesitating as the mixture got weak. Its worth a try though, could you not just use the mechanical lift pump fitted to the...
