    P38A 300Tdi conversion.

    Will it fit? A mate here has a 1997 300Tdi automatic Disco D1, it is crumbling to rust but is mechanically good, he has been offered a RR P38, '95 or '96 model with a good rust free body and pretty tidy interior, the auto tranny and V8 engine gave up the ghost long back. The Rangie has sat a...

    Disco 1 Fuel and Vacuum pump mods.

    1998 300Tdi, the Wabco brake vacuum pump has started leaking engine oil again and although the original type fuel lift pump is still ok I'd like to head off some of the air leak problems that some mates have had with air leakages between tank and lift pump. I'm proposing to replace the Wabco vac...

    Disco 1 Bosch VE injection pump.

    Any learned gents on here who can tell me which way to rotate the "stop screw" for the maximum fuel setting on a Bosch VE IP to slightly increase fuel delivery, is it in or out? Vehicle is a '98 Disco D1 with 300Tdi engine.

    Disco 1 Rear power windows.

    '98 Disco D1 "S" manual, no frills no electronics. The rear power windows just stopped working, they dont get used very often, fronts are working fine, central locking works fine, I've tried the control lockout in the centre console in both positions and the door switches still no go. Just a...

    Disco 1 Speedometer interruptus.

    '98 D1 300Tdi , the speedometer stopped working after a run along a particularly rough 20klm stretch of bush road last week. Because this has happened before I tried the old trick of pulling out the sender plug on the back of the transfer box between T/C and handbrake drum, cleaning it up and...

    Disco 1 Electric Brake Vacuum Pump

    Has anybody fitted an electric vacuum pump to their Tdi Disco 1, If so what sort is suitable, is a vacuum reservoir necessary? I'd like to get rid of the engine driven one. I can buy one from a Volvo or I believe some of our GM products here are fitted with similar type units, thoughts please.

    Disco 1 Vibrations, (Not good ones).

    Been looking at my mates '97 300Tdi Disco to do a few fixes, got it all done except for a high frequency vibration between about 95 and 110 kph. He has been down the wheel balance trail, that was of no use, I have removed both tailshafts in turn and checked uni's, rubber coupling etc, running...

    Disco 1 Injection pump fuel leak

    1998 Tdi 300, just returned from a 1800 Klm trip, travelled some very rough roads and tracks, deep water crossings etc. Since returning home I have found that there is a small amount of diesel leaking from the rear end of the injection pump from what I would call the "head", a fairly solid cast...

    Disco 1 A/C anomaly, or is it imagination.

    Recently came back from a trip North on our beautiful Cape York Peninsular, (the pointy bit at the top of Australia), and the mecca of many 4 wheel drives in Australia, "The Telegraph track" and "Frenchmans Track", a really challenging couple of 4WD destinations that are on most 4WD enthusiasts...

    How many VM powered RR's still running.

    Hi I do not usually post in this section of the forum, but I am interested to know how many late 80's VM diesel powered RRC's still exist in the UK, or at least those associated with LandyZone. My reason being is that about 3 years ago now an old mate of mine bought a badly rusted neglected VM...

    ABS&Non ABS swivel bearing differences.

    Wondering if someone can clear this up, looking at some axle housing swapping. In a later Disco 1 with 24 spline axles, I have been told that the top swivel bearings on an ABS equipped Disco front axle are needle bearings and are weaker under heavy off road use and the non ABS are taper roller...

    Merry Christmas from Australia.

    Hi to all you Land Rover Zone folks, I have just become a member of this forum, found some of the information very useful in dealing with problems I've had with the old LR Disco Tdi that I purchased earlier this year. It is also interesting to read about your "Pay and Play" sites, I live on...
