    Multiple brake problems - 300TDi

    Unfortunately yes and it is sucking. But then the 'feel' of the brakes is different every time I press them so it cold be intermittant failure which I'm not sure a vacuum pump would get. I'd expect it to either be working or not especially as the amount of braking isn't related to the speed of...

    Multiple brake problems - 300TDi

    Not any more - which is why I'm trying to avoid a trip to the garage! After yesterdays near miss I've decided that it's no longer 'down to the age and feel of the disco' but that I need to fix it pretty quickly.

    Disco Door springs How-to...

    Cracking set of instructions. Got my springs. Replaced them on the back door and it's great - apart from also having a lazy motor that occassionally can't be arsed to push up the rod to release the lock. Maybe I'll soak it in WD40 and see if that helps :)

    Multiple brake problems - 300TDi

    I have a number of problems that have started to develop with the brakes on my Disco over the last few weeks and hope the wealth of knowledge here can point me in the right direction. I'm short on time due to needing the car for a 400 mile journey on Friday so may end up taking it to a local...

    Sill finisher - replacement

    I recently lost the plastic strip that runs from the front wing, attaches to the sill and creates a 2 inch 'step' on the passenger side all the way to the back. I think this is what's called a Sill Finisher but as I can't find a schematic with part numbers to order a replacement and none of the...

    Sucking / whooshing noise when under load

    WOW! I've seen some thread hijacks in my time on the internet but this one really has to be one of the best!

    Sucking / whooshing noise when under load

    Well what a dork I feel. I went under the bonnet again with torch in hand and still could not find anything untoward. I took the disco to my local garage who popped up the bonnet and immediately noticed that the jubilee clip was loose on the hose where the rubber hose connects to the metal pipe...

    Sucking / whooshing noise when under load

    Thanks for all the suggestions. As someone suggested, I had merely popped the bonnet, looked in and seen nothing obvious. I'm going to have a better look this morning and, if I still can't find it, nip down to my local garage. I'm reallly hoping it's a split hose rather than the head gasket though!

    Sucking / whooshing noise when under load

    Hi, I've got a 1994 300TDI that has developed a strange noise this morning. Whilst driving along I suddenly realised than when the engine is under load (e.g. going up hill and accelerating) there is a sucking noise. It sounds to be coming from the passenger side behind the glove box and the...

    1994 Disco 300tdi - stall problem

    Still haven't gotten around to pulling the fule lines apart but I have found a way to prevent it from stalling. Run it in 1st gear for 300 yards and then change into 2nd gear as I join the 'main road'. Luckily there is rarely any traffic on the country road at the end of our lane but providing I...

    Water Ingress headache - Passenger & Drivers footwell

    I have also just noticed that my passenger footwell is sopping wet on my 300tdi. I have pulled up the carpet and sound deadening rubber and sprayed water on the windscreen. I can see water coming in from 3 places: 1) With my head inside the footwell looking up I can see water is running along...

    Strange noise after diengaging handbrake

    The handbrake on my disco is slipping but (which may be related) I've just noticed that when I've yanked the brake on to stop the disco sliding backwards, then release it and set off forwards, there is a chug chug kinda sound. The sounds doesn't seem to increase in speed as I go faster but if I...

    1994 Disco 300tdi - stall problem

    cheers guys. Looks like that's tomorrow nights job since I don't think messing with fuel lines in the dark after red wine is sensible.

    Hi all

    Just on the outskirts of Llanelidan. Beautiful place but where we live has a big hill to get up in snow to get out one way and an even steeper hill to go down to get out the other way. Disco is the recommended vehicle by all of the farmers here.

    1994 Disco 300tdi - stall problem

    Found the newbies section and done my intro. I feel my Haynes manual is going to get a good thrashing. Sedimenter is a paraffin cleanout is it or a filter replacement? Will order a fuel filter and change that when it arrives. Are there any online places that are recommended for buying spares for...

    Hi all

    Found the new members section so here goes. After moving to the most rural part of North Wales in February and getting snowed in on the 1st 2 weekends I decided to sell my ice-skating S-Max and get something a bit more 'country friendly' (the S-Max came down the hill at the end of our track 3...

    1994 Disco 300tdi - stall problem

    Hi guys and gals, Not sure if there's a new members section where I introduce myself but I'll find it if there is one. I'm sure I'll be a regular on here after buying a 2nd hand Disco :) I just bought a 1994 Disco 300tdi which runs like a dream - apart from an occasional stall which is driving...
