get underneath it with a torch and see if there is any wobble in the propshafts... could be a universal joint either toward the front or the back.... Not an expensive job to fix.. try it..

Thanks for the responses people, I will consider these carefully and get them into action. I just tightened a pan hard rod too... it made a diffrence.

Have D1 1997 ES 5 door. As a consequence of the below problem, I checked out the bearings. Just finished the wheel bearings in the front. Nipped them up, they are fine. GOT a hell of a lot of play in N/s of the disco. If I really give the wheels a rocking ( I am not a physically small...

Ok, to keep you all updated, I discovered apart from all the bushes that have died, its not the main problem, its the bearings that are going! will replace them and update, again...

Got some food for thought. thankyou guys, I will get under it tommorrow and find out exactly what is causing the problems... Just a quick apology to Hughsey... my spelling is meant to be Wandering wagon, but I have put wondering as I am also wondering why it is the problem. that was my...

Right, I have started this thread for the obvious reasons of (a) - solving my own problem and (b)- yours if your have the misfortune of having to deal with this. Problem: -I am looking for ideas to look into what could cause a 300tdi 1997 5 door disco wander off to the right.. (only...

Weather can be emotional at times. p.s home breweries are the way forward, f&£k the vat increase! I hate it with a passion!

successfully managed to recover the pieces and now I am back on the road, would have to say to all those that ever attempt to recover pieces that careful thought need to be put into thinking how and when you will flush a system to that end I would advise : your going to have to dump the...

Just read that last post nrg... thankyou will have to try that one too. For the last half hour I have been reading Midnight moochers post on his poor HG problem, pressurizing and all sorts and my heart really does go out to him as I find that I am in the same situation has he is in terms of...

Its my impression that all this wouldnt happen fi you pay attention to the maintenance schedule and your daily or weekly checks... takes all of 5 mins to have a good look under the bonnet, and if you have not picked it up on a second hand vehicle, then you have my sympathy. Especially td5's...

There you go.. intelligent man right there. guess it might warrant the use if you go to spain or something similar.

Yeah I did actually, when I removed the pump I was praying for those pieces to fall out. But I had no joy, I did flush it and all that came out was very fine alloy scrapings which made me think that I got away with it. I very carefully looked at the flow into the cylinder block to observe any...

nice advice , if I can achieve that, I am in buisness. I will let you know how I get on with this, the interesting thing is the chips are about half a of a 50pence piece, if you look at the picture I posted, I placed the impeller back on the pump just to show all what was going on and the...

the question being... would it be clear if I can blow that through??:confused:

thanks buddy, I find that when you have ears for strange noises under the bonnet, you concentrate on it so much that you start over looking things and losing a grip on small things like how long it takes to heat up. I am sure that when I first replaced a head gasket, it was quick to heat up and...

well I am going to dissasemble the engine completely soon, and see if I can find the pieces to get my poor landrover working again... I have forgotten, but does anyone know roughly how long the heater takes to pump hot air through? I am sure that the thermostat has to open up first... hmnnn.

it does actually but to tell you the truth, I hate aircon, and when does the Uk ever get that hot enough of the use of aircon? .... hmnnn.....

oh just re-read the post sean, refrence the temp... it sits at normal but at times it goes higher which makes me stop for fear of blowing a HG. Thanks again for trying to solve this.

I appreciate that advice, will get a pressure washer on that bad boy and give it some. thought about the old air lock, but I have double checked that.. I am one of these blokes that is a bit of an ocd freak.. I hate the fact that I havent managed to get the pieces out. It sits there on my...

would really love to leave the to blades in situ, but unfortunately I am not recieving any heat through heaters, as I believe its not allowing water to circulate to the heaters, I have even looked in the radiator to try and find the particles I took off one of the heater hoses and poured a...
