the old disco (200tdi) has developed a rather disturbing grinding noise from the gearbox/transfer box direction. it happens when the clutch is lifted in any gear, including reverse, there is no loss of drive and the gears select as normal. its not the same grinding noise that happens when a gear...

certainly sir, thats 45p please. got to love homebrew. first keg ready today, and I must say it has vastly surpassed all expectations. Vastly, I say. sooo easy to make. and costs LESS than a quarter of the price than at the local. Happy days :) I have a feeling these 40 pints aren't going to...

this isn't a land rover, but I thought this might be of interest to some people. The aim of the project is to build a vintage car for hillclimbing/racing and eventually make it the fastest in its class. the car will date back to the early 1900s so all parts and components with the exception of...

trailers are cool. was offered "some old landrover wheels" by a good friend, but when I got there to pick them up they were still attached to an aging horsebox which had sat rotting in a field for 20 years. When he had bought it for carting about his children's ponies a million years ago it...

some of you might recall my previous thread begging for help with my brother's disco just over a week ago which turned out to be a rotten pipe on the sender unit. now in true landrover style hers back off the road again, but it doesn't sound like lack of fuel this time. this time she's pouring...

I know the subject has been done to death, but after reading a lot of info and being told many differing things many different people over the years, I think I've nearly distilled the facts, but have yet to find a definitive answer to this: [Licences held from 1st January 1997] does the...

evening all my brother's disco - '97 300tdi - is not working, the engine starts and idles and revs up ok, but if you hold it at any rev speed above idle for more than a few seconds the engine sounds like its starved of fuel and runs lumpy and then if you don't catch it, it splutters and...

drove down town, did my shizzle and came back to unlock the disco and pulled half a key out of my pocket. So caught a ride home. the end. I have two other keys somewhere in this big wide world, but no idea where they are, and they could be anywhere in any one of three different houses and a...

how do certain insurance companies fail so completely with their websites? I don't mean the advertising or quoting side, its once you've paid for the insurance and have to then log in to view certificates etc. Admiral's 'portal' is a prime example of the abominably frustrating bastard...

*spontaneous. Won't let me edit the title. This evening, while tugging at the damp carpet in the driver's footwell, I was vaguely aware of a burning smell, but ignored it at first, figuring it was a neighbour's bonfire. Then it started to get smoky, but I still ignored it, figuring it was...

as title, there are millions of engines in the world, does anybody know which or any cheap little four pots, aside from series enjuns themselves (or 3cyl or twin, not too overly fussy) that can be made to fit to the series 3 gearbox? the smaller the betterer - it doesnt need to work, doesn't...

is there any way to modify the rear diff to be able to lock it? I used to drive a shogun and this was great fun in the snow, principally because you could drop it into Rwd and lock the rear diff and it would drift like a pro. The discovery just has too much and too little traction in the...

hi I have spent quite a while trawling through posts in the search, but cannot find what I am after. basically a 300tdi discovery that will only rev to about 2.5k rpm. going flat out it sounds like its struggling and shuddering a bit and the engine note it wavering, if that makes sense. Is...

my brother has had his discovery for about a year, and yesterday he went to check his oil, lifted the bonnet, pointed at the dusty red bottle jack thats never been moved since the wagon rolled out the factory and asked "so how does the fire extinguisher work?" bless :rolleyes: I fished the...

by the pickup'd disco 1 with D3 headlights in next february's LRO and the pickup'd disco 2 a month or so ago. I like them, but fancy a crew cab. so I got my pencils out: concept 1 it works out to a 124" wheelbase, so the chassis would need extending 2 foot. fancy a soft top/convertible...

21 Brilliant British People Problems I can identify with far too many of these

what do you reckon? took the bumper off to hammer out some of the dents installed by a previous owner driving into things, still got a bit of a twist I couldn't get out, but inspired by a glimpse of a white colour coded 200 doing a bit of puddlejumping on youtube, I cracked on with the old...

tring to identify paintcode for my green disco (1993) the plate under the slam panel is not stamped. Its solid green, so by my reckoning (from the dingocroft charts) its either eskdale green (HUJ 419) or coniston green (HYJ 570). I'm a red/green colourblind, so matching colours and paints has...

I have searched, but most of the results concern a stiff knob (oo'er) I, on the other hand, have a floppy one. The disco drives fine in hi range - always has - but the lever moves back and forth freely and it feels as if the linkage has broken or fallen off. It was like this when I got the...

firstly, my apologies for using the 'C' word on a land rover forum, but I tarted up the old disco last week, t cut every panel and polished it up for winter (even the roof) the difference was phenomenal. I don't think its ever been done before; took me nine hours straight. But what's letting her...
