Hi Just about to fit a set of Terrafrima remote reservoir adjustable shocks to a Discovery 3OOtdi. Has anyone got a recommended place to fit the rear reservoir? There is plenty length on the hose but I'm looking for a area where it won't be too exposed yet easy to access to adjust. It looks...

I'm getting pressure building up in the auto transmission - ATF dipstick comes out a couple of cm by itself. I guess there is a breather blocked but I can't find where it comes out of the gearbox. Can anyone advise so i can clean it out?

Hi, yesterday we set about replacing the front coils on the TD5. We run out of time and left the front end jacked up +axle stands over night, significantly higher then the rear. Finished the job this morning but for some reason the rear air bags now refuse to raise the rear at all. I wonder...

My 300tdi auto was off the road for almost a year following problems with the transmission. Having finally replaced the gearbox with an exchange unit from Ashcrofts I was looking forward to running the Disco again. However, I'm really disappointed with performance. I have a large Allisport...

Hi, Just returned from scary moment off-roading having lost reverse gear altogether high up in Spanish mountains. First sign of trouble was when kickdown cable (replaced a couple of months ago) suddenly appeared jammed again as pedal wouldn't travel beyond half way. No real issue because the...

Hi, The kickdown cable on my 300tdi autout EDC appear to have seized. The accelerator only has half its normal travel. On closer inspection the top cable on the follow diagram movers freely to pedal when disconnected at point 2 from the arm. However, the lower / kick down cable doesn't move at...

Hi, I'm about to refit a replacement turbo on my 300tdi. Having struggled to remove the exhaust elbow pipes (hammer, WD40, sweat, hammer etc) I now need to fit them to the replacement turbo. Any tips/tricks on how to get them in straight?

Hi, I want to replace the rivets with bolts on a particularly leaky vacuum pump cover. It's cold and snowing outside and I can't see myself battling with the six bolts that hold the the pump to the block for hours. The top 3 are ok but the others appear tricky to remove and clearly even more...

Hi, Can anyone confirm the correct part number for the flywheel locking pin on a 300tdi EDC auto? The workshop manual refers to a difference between a non EDC and an EDC manaul but doesn't give a part number for the EDC auto version...

Hi, My 300tdi EDC Jap import has 200000km on the clock. My last timing belt did approx 75000 km without any problems. It didn't look particularly tired when it was replaced 10 months ago. The new timing belt just gave up after only 14000km. The parts use were all correct (cross-checked against...

Hi, Since yesterday the ignition key no longer goes to position '0'. Auto box in P, transfer engaged. I can hear the inhibitor click when pressing the brake pedal and I can run through the gears OK. Does anyone know what controls the barrel and prevents the key going no further back than...
