    300tdi engine stopped dead & will not start.

    Pulling away onto an island and the Disco engine just stopped dead. Coasted to a safe place and tried to fire her up. She cranks but there is no sign of it firing up. Any ideas gratefully received. I'll have a go and then call the AA if I have no luck. Cheers.

    300Tdi manual gear change suddenly different.

    The gear change on my Tdi/R380 Disco has suddenly altered. When I come out of 2nd the lever no longer pops over to align with the gate for third. What I have just said is not quite right because parked up, engine idling, clutch pressed I can feel the spring you prwss agaist to select 1&2. So...

    Fitting/wiring in tweeter A post trims.

    Hi guys. I've obtained a pair of A post trims with the tweeters in them & would like to fit them and wire them up. I've had my finishers off & there is no redundant wiring/connectors under them. How are they wired in? Do they simply spur off the door speaker's wires or is it a bit more...

    300tdi piston broken after revving/running on.

    So I had fun & games on the M1 when my Disco 300TDi wanted to rev to destruction using its own oil for fuel. I stalled it and then got it recovered. My garage has now had the head off to survey the damage. No.1 piston has lost its forward edge of the crown - you can see the skirt now. The...

    From an oil leak to 10+ extra BHP!

    I tracked an oil leak down to the lift pump - fine mist coming out of the little breather port on my 300Tdi. I had a spare so I put it on. I was pleased with stopping the leak but chuffed to bits with the difference in performance! Smoother and very noticably quicker acceleration. Someone else...

    Front mud flap inner stud plate.

    Hi, Guys. Is the plate with the three studs on that goes through the floor pan to secure the front mud flaps availabe form anywhere? I guess I am calling it something different to its official LR name and that is why I can't find it. Massive irony here as I am a Land Rover engineer!

    My Disco has got the rear light set-up where the tail lights & indicators are in the bumper and the brake, fog & reverse are in the rear qtr cluster.
