    Hello, My pre face-lift 200tdi has loss of steering fluid from the reservoir due to foaming. Checked all connections - all tight with no leaks. Steering pump makes a whining noise under load. Is the pump a goosed? Thanks for thoughts snd opinions.

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    Sorted! It was a volt drop on the ground side and a volt drop on the supply side. The clue in the supply side was the shared fuse between rear indicators brake lights and reversing lights. Basically it was old wires behind the fuse panel in the drivers footwell setting up some sort of...

    Disco 1 Post facelift front bumper

    Hello, I need to replace my 200tdi front bumper but getting hold of a pre-facelift bumper is like looking for Rocking horse doodoo. So, has anyone tried to fit a post-facelift front bumper? Any advice or shared experience would be much appreciated.

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    I can see at least 2 headers hiding under the front dash. Looking at them from the outside they look dry and fine. I'll investigate further......

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    Not sure, there us only 1 fuse box on a D1 ppre-facelift, behind a panel in the drivers footwell. I've unscrewed the fuse box a couple of times to get access to relays behind it, but never noticed an earth. I'll have another look.

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    Thanks for this, I've looked at some of the headers but I'm not quite sure where they all are or how they work. Mines a '93 pre face-lift so slightly different wiring to a '95 but quite similar.

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    Yup, rewired a new socket even all this started but no impact. Today I spliced the trailer socket earth onto the rear light cluster earth. Doesn't seem to have changed anything. However, I'll unplug it from the car loom tomorra to see what happens - worth a try. Many thanks.

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    Good call. I'll start with the reversing light switch. I've also ordered a new brakel light switch as my one is a bit wobbly and seems to be leaking what looks like very light oil.

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    That's kinda whete my head is too. Just had another look at the wiring diagram for a '93 Disco, and the brake lights and reversing lights switches have a common feed. Time to look at the wiring in that neck of the woods as I did replace the reversing light switch on the gearbox a while ago...

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    When sidelights are on and an inducator is on when I touch the footbrake they all start flickering in time with the indicator. It also happens when reversing lights are on. It doesn't happen when sidelights are on, and rear fogs are on when indicating. So it seems to be only when a light...

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    So, I've run new 25amp black wire from the light cluster earth wire direct to the Battery -ve for both the rear light clusters and each of the headlights. It sorted the problem if sidelights flashing with the indicators but hasn't stopped it once the brake lights are on. Its baffling as the...

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    Hi Flossie, Yep had a go at that, got some replacement bulb holders from a breakers - no difference. I also tried different light clusters - no difference. Its baffling.

    Disco 1 Lights flickering with indicators when on the brakes

    Hello, I'm having a hair pulling out moment. My 200tdi developed a lighting earth fault that I can't find. So after much trying and failing I have wired the grounding points for each light direct to the battery -ve (4 wires). It solved the problem, the sidelights don't flicker in time with the...
