    Discoverys up to W reg veg oil

    pay attention that the cleaning effect has also unwanted side effects : fuel filter clogging by a lot of gum coming from the tank and fuel pipes, worn injector nozzle starting to leak after the calamin has been dissolved, bore being washed clean so compression lowers ... that's why I stick to a...

    Discoverys up to W reg veg oil

    when R.Diesel patented it's engine, it was described as using vegetable oil ... my '95 300TDi is fed with vegetable oil (mostly filtered used frying oil, sometimes fresh rapeseed oil) 30% all seasons, up to 50-60% in summer no specific modification or adjustment was needed, the fuel filter had...

    probable outcome...

    same in France, you hit her by the rear = your fault, whatever happened before one of the very first articles in our road code reads "the driver must always remain master of his vehicle", so insurance companies agreed that by default no further discussion is needed in that case ... if you want...

    Discovery rear work lights?

    on another project I needed inexpensive small round and powerful lamps to go inside a bumper, the ones I used (from Bulgaria) are those presently offered as item 170684228195 at less than 10 euros for a pair (8.50 pounds) you might be surprised they actually work, but the bracket wouldn't accept...

    Discovery rear work lights?

    there are Micro Fog units from Hella, but not exactly on the cheap side, usually in the 20 to 30 pounds each e.g. on eBay current items 160453254448 or 120740066273 I also found this one: 120740067939

    Discovery rear work lights?

    very similar to the "Anorak" link given above (which is where my inspiration came from), but since I have no roof rack I mounted the high level brake lamps and the work light on a simple (gutter attached) roof bar I saw something like that, but not sure it was on a Disco, not even sure it was...

    ???????????

    maybe the dash isn't the place, I noticed they prefer to nest under the seats or in the upper corners of the trunk :D if you don't have EDC, some pieces of chestnut wood can also drive them away

    TD5 Fuel

    my rationale for using veggie is to help reducing consumption of fossile ressources and lower pollution ... so "recycling" engine oil is ruled out but when you see how an engine can overrun and self destroy on it's own oil, for sure it could be used as fuel

    300Tdi Discovery EDC immobiliser bypass

    I know someone who would say "three times ... only ?" seems rather difficult to find the actual cause, just clean shake and tweak every connector, then apply grease or even moisture sealant varnish, etc and keep ready for another session some time later

    Bought myself a '95 300tdi

    congratulations ! I would prefer welding if you know how to do it or can have it done (the hole size you indicate is its present size, probably nothing compared to what it'll become when you have prepared it for welding) on that sort of gangrenous rust, metal putty is like a bandage on a peg leg

    Locked out of Disco mk1 Help!

    use a can opener against the door ... then to repair the hole you made you need to weld a piece of metal, look for someone with a signature containing: "Need welding? MoT work undertaken Suffolk/Essex/Norfolk also gates, railings, posts, etc..." more seriously, as I guess the OP wants a...

    Headlight issue

    I would check fuses and tweak connectors first, then take a voltmeter to check from fuse to bulb (or the other way round) checking if +12 is present after each connector, there aren't so many places to check if you don't have it you should download the ETM (electrical troubleshooting manual)...

    300tdi fuel pump

    and the spray itself isn't so good for your lungs, it's not only a smell of fuel but very thin aerosol droplets (when testing the injectors with a test pump we use a special neutral liquid with characteristics similar to regular fuel)

    sealant sealing boot floor

    for a remarkable example, you might have a look at Mr Noisy's pictures, especially the second one from the bottom of page 1 in this post: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/discovery-rust-boot-sills-wings-161843.html

    Td5 fuel issue

    could it be feasible to insert a non-return valve in the fuel pipe just before the filter ? there are such valves available for the veggie modification to have a dual fuel/veg.oil circuit one among many others: CLAPET ANTI RETOUR ALUMINIUM ESSENCE DIESEL 6 - 8 - 10 | eBay

    disco 300tdi right hand side indicator problem

    mine has been removed some time ago, so I no longer have alarm ... but the fuse was already removed to calm down the siren, and in any case I have no fob to arm/disarm ... so it might be your alarm trying to signal something by lighting the indicators ?

    Top speed?

    and my 160 reading was from the speedometer, so probably optimistic
