    Might be selling my Discovery 300 tdi

    Well, I am soon to be moving across to the Czech Republic, and have thought long and hard about whether to take my beloved Disco with me. However, after researching some Czech websites, LR dealers are few and far between in the CR, and I hear that foriegn cars are targets for thieves, etc over...

    Engine noise - damper blanket?

    Anyone know whether the engine blanket in this picture is any good? Is it a standard part? I've always been interested in damping the noise, especially at low revs/speeds.

    Clear front indicator lens filling up!

    Hi All, Thought I'd let you know that my front drivers side clear indicator lens is filling up with washer fluid, and it ain't receding! I only bought them in November last year from Island4x4, so I contacted them, and they want me to purchase another one so that I can send them the faulty one...

    I lied, I had a slight blip on the way to the Czech Republic!

    Whilst I said my drive across to the CR was great, it was marred by one small issue. I have had for a while a small problem with the alternator, in that on some mornings, the battery light would come on, only to blink out after 30 minutes or so (the rest of the day would be problem free)...

    Mudflap panel fit on my 300tdi

    Hi all, Well, just returned from my driving trip across to the Czech Republic, what a breeze! :) Whilst I was there, I took a bit of time out to fit a new l/h rear mudflap and panel set. The panel had rusted through quite badly, and the old mudflap had fallen away many moons ago. All was...

    Those push-in popper thingies for panel retention?

    Hi all, I'm trying to locate 4 of those push-in popper screws, for my 2 seat panels, and have been to LR in Ascot who can't help. They tried to sell me some 4-piece bits of kit that don't even fit the two location holes in their own diagrams (they were something to do with the CD autochanger)...

    Difflock linkage vibration - how to get to it?

    I've got a buzzing noise coming from the difflock selector, which disappears when I grab the handle. I need to get some grease down there, but when I took the gaiter off, I found that there is a large 'dome' of rubber/foam molding there, which I didn't want to pull out in case I damaged it. I...

    Rear mudflap and mounting panel fit

    Anyone know how easy/how quick it is to fit the L/H flap and mounting panel? I'm having them delivered on Thursday, and would like to fit them Thursday evening! Do I need any special tools, or will a socket set do?

    auto dim rear view mirror

    Hi All, I'm thinking about getting one of the them autodim rear view mirrors, but would like to know if the LR ones are any good? I have seen some aftermarket types on Ebay, but would like an original, if one second hand could be bought cheaply. Any idea of the prices these go for? BTW, I...

    Vibration rattle from passenger seat at high revs

    Hi All, well, before I take the seat out and set fire to it, can anyone point out where that damned noise is coming from? I have a 300 Tdi automatic, and when the revs reach the gear change point or 75 - 80 mph, the passenger seat gives off an annoying vibration rattle. Of course, the noise is...

    Discovery dashboard fix

    Couldn't see any posts on this, so thought I'd add mine. It was done by Matt4x4 near Reading, and he did a great job. The parts only cost £38, and Matt only charged an hours labour. If you are going to attempt this, then you might want to consider applying a bit of vaseline under the repair...

    Battery light on; rev counter not working!

    Hi All, Had an interesting scenario this morning. I got into my car to drive to work, having not started it for 4 days, and whilst it started 1st time, it sounded a little lethargic. However, I noticed (a) the battery light was on and (b) when I pulled away, the rev counter needle didn't move...

    Clear front indicator lens?

    Hi All, I'm thinking of fitting those clear front indicator lens to my '94 300 TDi, but am put off by the price. I've seen some on Ebay for £40, but heard they can be gotten from source for half that. Anyone know where 'the source' is, or any other cheaper outlets? :confused: BTW, I have...

    Got the dash fix done at the weekend.....

    Hi All, Thought I'd show you the dash fix that I had done at the weekend, I'm REALLY impressed! :D The kit cost £38 delivered, and the fitting took an hour. It looks like part of the dash! I think that if you click on the images, they will open up and show better detail.

    Snow chains for 235 x 70 R16's

    Hi All, Well, I'm off to Europe for Xmas, and want to go fully prepared. I have purchased the warning triangle, medical kit, GB plate/beam bender kit and dvd player (I have 2 little kiddies :D), but am also looking for snow chains. Now, here's the rub; my 300 TDi (1994) has 235 x 79 R16's...

    Oh no! It wasn't the turbo, its the head gasket!

    Well, Nick Kerner 4 Wheel Drive have just reported back to me; it wasn't the turbo as the RAC man said, it is the head gasket! (see the 'oh no!' post for a better description). :eek: Now, they told me that it could be one of 3 scenarios; a simple head gasket replacement costing around £500, a...

    Oh no!

    Well, driving to work this morning in my '94 TDi 300 Auto, the fuel light had been on for no more than 15 miles, and stopped at some traffic lights (on an incline) and the car started to judder badly in Drive, so I put it in Park, where the juddering lessened. I pulled away, and the car was a it...

    Weak windscreen washers!

    My windscreen washers are a bit weak, so before I start replacing stuff, is this a Discovery trait? The spray barely reaches above a 3rd up the screen, and it is obviously low pressure. BTW, I have a '94 300 tdi. Tried searching on the forum, but found nothing.

    cigarette lighter

    Hi all, Anyone know whether the cigarette lighters are the same sizes for the 200 and 300 TDi series? What about the series 2? I bought one of those silver ones from Ebay, but it is too small in diameter by about 3mm. Not happy! The auction said that it would fit any Disco! :mad: I'm...
