I have been thinking about what to do with my 5 door disco 1 which i have sitting on the drive. I rebuilt the engine a while back but i have not refitted it due to a house move, finding the inner wings really need replacing and it could really do with the gearbox or transfer box looking at as it...

Hi guys. Well we have had the FFR for about a year and have finally decided to do something with it. It needs a new rear crossmember, bulkhead outrigger on the drivers side and a serious repairs to the bulkhead. We had already bought some repair panels for the bulkhead but a secondhand one was...

I hope you guys can help me again. My D2 td5 automatic cut out on us today. Fortunatly it was about 100 yards from the house. It started but sounded rough like it was only running on 4 then got worse and sounded like it was on 3 cylinders then just dead. After pushing it back to the house i...

Well finally got back to doing my engine. This what i found after getting the crank pully off. Now it looks like the woodruff key as been welded in to repair some damage. Is this going to cause problems with the strip down, as the rest of the crank seems in fine fettle? Simon

Well after using the TD5 for a trip down to dorset this weekend i have noticed a vibration at about 2000-2500 revs. After searching on here i think i have narrowed it down to the engine mounts or possibly the flex plate has cracked (its an auto). After having a look i can see that one engine...

Some may have seen that i have a problem with the drivers seat on the wifes d2. What the problem seems to be the outside seat runner is loose at the back. If you wobble the back of the seat, you can see up and down movement in the rear part of the runner. I cant see any other posts on this...

The wife has just gone and got herself a 2000 discovery 2. Its an ES as well so has all the gadgets and such. Seems to be in really good condition and everything apart from the rear sunroof works (so far). I havent had a really good look at it but its done 106K, its an auto, and its in red with...

So now having the engine out, I have managed to clean some of the carbon off the top of the pistons, and 3 of them are stamped ERR2412 and STD stamped next to the arrow, but number 4 is stamped with the same number but has FSB 42 stamped where the std mark is on the other pistons. Is this a...

I found a vacuum pipe today that came off a t piece in the vacuum pump to brake servo line. It was tucked up out the way behind the servo and it was blocked off at the end. Anyone have any idea what its from? Is it part of the egr system thats been blanked off?? Will try get a pic tomorrow if...

When taking off the rocker shaft earlier, one of the bolts had been rounded off. Managed to get the 3 nuts off and one of the bolts, but the other bolt needed me to use a bolt extractor and a breaker bar. Needless to say its now useless and i need a new one. Been looking on the Paddocks site and...

I have half compleated a compression test on my 300tdi D1 to see where blue smoke is coming from, but cannot find what the standard pressures should be. Only info i could find was in the haynes manual that said there should not be a difference greater than 70 psi. Could not find the info on my...

Had some success today on the list of bits to do on my 300tdi. I decided that as the weather was on the poor side i would fix something that would not hopefully take too long. I knew when i got the car that the fuelling had been messed with by the P.O. I read everything i could on tweeking the...

I have quite a whine frome my transmission but cant decide where its coming from. its either from the diffs or the transfer box. There seems to be quite alot of backlash if i grap hold of the drive shaft with the handbrake off and there is cluncks coming both the diff and the transfer box end...

Hi, I have just bought a 110 ex military FFR. I am wanting to convert this to a CSW. Does anybody know where I can get a rear tub, doors and other necessary accessories to do this. I know you're going to ask why I just didnt buy a CSW but this offer was just too good to refuse and the wife...

I have a very good spare 10 spline diff off a 200 series disco given to me. The diff on my 300 i believe is a 24 spline. Can i take the 24 spline diff cage and attach that to the good parts of the 10 spline diff, using its pinion, housing and ring gear and such? I do have dti's to check backlash...

Well Its passed its MOT with hardly anything needed to get it through, only major bit was a new steering box due to it leaking. My V8 donated its box for the cause, so all in all the bits cost less than a tenner. Now that that milestone is passed i can start to look at the other issues on it...

What is the hight of a std disco with std alloys and tyres to the top of the arches? Just wondering as my mate mentioned that it looks like mine may have had a lift, It might be that it has no bumper on the front at the moment and look higher, but i would like to know as i told the insurance...

What would be the correct remote blipper for my 94 300tdi? Simon

Hi guys, Here are a couple of pics of my disco. It has seen alot of work this weekend but not as much as i would have liked due to parts not turning up. So far i have:- Got bumper corner from scrappy. Fixed the rear door cenral locking. Fixed the gearbox bias plate. Removed, regreased and...

Hi, Have to say that this forum has been great on helping me sort alot of the problems on my discovery 300tdi that i got last week. So far i have fixed the bias plate on the gearshift, rear door central locking (bust spring and lock motor), unsized the difflock, fixed the reversing light (switch...
