Hi All the electric windows on my 300tdi have decided they dont want to work at the moment, they did it it a while ago, then started working again. Then stopped, so i did the ecu resoldering thing (is that just the rear windows anyway?) and they worked for a while again, now nothing. Any ideas...

20 seconds was probably a bit of an exageration, was probably under 10! started this morning after 3 or 4 turns of the engine, but it wasnt as cold. I will check all the earths and probably add the extra one as suggested. Dont think my glow plugs are too good either, I will try to test them at...

I decided in the end to try a bigger battery. The one I bought 6 months ago was listed as the correct one on eurocarparts site - it is a 031 70Amp 540cca, I think this one was a bit too weedy. So I bought the other one they had listed, a 664 105Amp 760cca. I tried this morning, probably the...

Hi Is your belt still ok? Mine had a knackered water pump, changed that, but I`ve got through 3 belts now, ssem to d the same as yours was, stripping off the front edge of the belt.

I did try a jump lead from the negative to the engine block, but it didnt seem to help, I do think the starter may be a little lazy, I was thinking of changing the brushes, anyone else done that?

Hi Since its got cold, my 300tdi auto is "reluctant" to start. The battery is only 6 months old & it and the alternator are ok (I took it back to eurocarparts and they tested it, 100% charged & 99% healthy) It spins over faster and starts ok with a battery pack connected, so I think it needs...

Hi I should point out that this is not my video, and quite possibly was made my another member on this site, but i really thought I should share it, its brilliant Diff Locks Last Stand (Rated PG) - YouTube

Thanks for the replies. being more than a bit worried the bolts will snap, i`ve bought a secondhand box. Any tips on fitting? Thanks Gary

Hi all I tried the stop leak but its not made any difference. I decided to change the top seal, But I cant shift the 4 bolts on the top of the box. On the 3 I can get at with a socket, I`ve had an 18" breaker bar on, but Im pretty sure the bolts are going to snap before they undo! I dont think...

Hi I know its not what you have posted about, but did i spy a 4 bolt steering box in the pics? mine is leaking like a sieve!!

Hi all Just bought a 1995 300tdi after deciding to have a go at off roading. Sold my very nice sensible, reliable, rot free Mercedes 250tdi and bought a disco with no MOT. Its not pretty, got some ally worm, but have got it through an MOT now, and its only done 145K. got a few things to sort...

Hi I had to take the drivers door card off to change the window regulator, and saw some micro switches that I guess are to input the EKA code? I have repaired the wire, but while one switch sweems to be attached, the other is just dangling and I cant see where its supposed to attach to. Does...

Thanks for the replies. Andy, was yours leaking much? mine seems to leak even without the engine running! I have considered the stop leak, but then again seeing as I just got the car, it might already have that in it!!

Hi Can anyone recommend some where in Essex when I can buy and get a remote programmed? The car only came with a remotekey.co.uk replacement, I think the original should be the 2 button type, the alarm module is green and marked amr4886. Any help greatly appreciated Gary

Hi Just got myself a 1995 discovery. I have noticed its leaking quite alot of oil from the steeing box, seems to be coming from the joint on the top cover. I bought a set of seals from LR direct (there must be about 15!). Is it possible to undo the lock nut, remove the 4 bolts, and unscrew the...

Hi Do you have the rear indicators in the bumper, both sides? Thanks Gary
