Right, my disco has started overheating but I've not let the needle get to the top of the gauge or into the red before stopping and getting towed home by the ever so efficient AA. The AA pressure tested the water tank and said it was losing pressure somewhere and then diagnosed it as having "an...

Hi. It's not been off roaded or modified. It's had the same 2 owners since new, and been used on 2 farms. It's never quite over heated as I've not allowed it to. The temp guage approached the top 3/4 of the scale before I pulled over and checked out what was going on. This happened after having...

I'm keeping my fingers crossed too. I don't have any other symptoms of a head problem, but I guess that means nothing. I'll replace the breather and see how that helps. It's only £9 +VAT at a local motorfactors. Fingers crossed.....

Fully comp with the Green Insurnace company costs me around £510 a year. That's with protected no claims, courtesy car and lost key cover. I have a p reg 300TDi Disco, left on the road overnight and used for social, domestic and commuting

cheeky bump...

Thanks guys. I've read different things about tweakingfuel pumps to improve performance. Does this work in reverse and help improve fuel economy also?

Hey Guys I am trying to improve the fuel consumption of my p reg 300tdi. I'm getting around 28mpg, but know I could do better with some tweaks and mods. I drive fairly gently, averaging around 60-65 on motorways and stick to speed limits around town. I don't think this car has been looked...

I forgot to mention that there seems to be an oil leak to the right hand side of the head gasket that starts quite high up. I've used an engine degreaser to claen the area and have found that it seems to be coming from where the engine breather filter attaches to the head. Is this a case of just...

I thought that. He's taken the **** cos I'm female and I've had to look at a few little things likt no hazard warning lights, horn, rear wiper, rear demister etc. He'd removed some fuses and disconnected the glow coil light relay.

cheers guys, I'll ask him, but he saod it's common with disco's to need topping up from there every few days.

cheers robint. Does it sound like it's anything sinister to you?

Hey guys I've had my P reg disco for 2 weeks now. Bought it from a 4x4 mechanic who gave me some advice. "Top up the water levels every 2-3 days via the brass nuts in the engine." Sounded suspicious to me, but aanyway I haven't. Last night I was driving home and after around 10 miles the temp...

Thank you for your post. I've printed it off and will run through it all. I've ordered the servicing parts and sedimentor seals today so should get that before I pick up the disco on Thursday. Then I can spend Saturday servicing it. I still don't know the name of the sponge that runs pretty much...

Cheers Paul I'll bear that in mind and keep in touch with you. I'm new to working on cars so don't really know anything just yet. My brothers being pretty good at helping me out so far, but he's not exactly a mechanic. God help the poor Disco! :eek:

Gee thanks for the help. I've Googled around for a day or two and found that most places are a similar price, but thought you helpful guys might know somewhere specifically.

Hey guys Where is cheapest for Waxoyl? I'm going to be treating my new baby when I pick her up next week, so would appreciate any advice on how to find guides to preparing the vehicle for a Waxoyl treatment and how to Waxoyl properly. Cheers guys

Hi there I'm on the Wirral and am buying it from the 4x4 specialist mechanic in New Ferry. Thanks

You mean I've missed out some of the expense!!!?? LOL :p

Forgive the ignorance, but what's the spongy filter looking thing under the bonnet at the bse of the windscreen, as it's completely perished on mine...

Well, I'm a sturdy built lass so I did have a good push on the floor and there wasn't the slightest bit of movement in it!! I'll have a good look when I collect it next week! Any good guides around on how to do a proper Waxoyl treatment from scratch!?
