So my TD5 auto discovery has started with some fun, a bleeding annoying squeal after the alternator was changed, but most worrying, it only just creeps back a little in reverse in high range. Low range all works ok; and all forward gears appear to be ok though it does seem sluggish. Seems a...

I know this has been done to death a little, but as I've a sill missing (well ok eaten by the rust monster), is it worth replacing both sills with rock sliders or just fixing the problem (repair one side) and looking at sliders to bolting onto the chassis? Also, as I can't weld for toffee...

I don't seem to have a stud/bolt on my 300tdi discos exhaust manifold (bottom right as you look at it). Looks like there should be one there. can anyone confirm it should have one and if so anyone know the part number as I am getting some exhaust gas escape there.

Right pain in the arse given the recent snow, but I'm getting troubles with the diff lock. I can easily get high/low diff locked setting, but can't change back to non-diff lock without putting the steering lock on and giving it some welly (which following a large bang takes the diff lock off)...

Anyone put a Xenon conversion kit onto a Discovery 1? Any idea of the impact the the MoT and are they road legal?

Anyone have any idea what the part numbers are for the cooling hoses from the heater matrix (in the bulk head) to the engine (need feed and return hoses)? For 300tdi disco 1.

My battery in my Disco 300TDI is just not holding charge so it's time for a replacement. I have a LR branded new battery (I think it's from a new range rover) given to me, but its massive in size and won't fit in the existing battery location. So the question: is there an alternative battery...

Went to move the landy 2a with a 2.5 n/a diesel yesterday and topped up with water as usual, only to find the water pouring out of the block and a missing core plug. I assume the winter snow and cold took it's toll on the water (which has at best a summer level of antifreeze) in the engine...

What the most likely cause for a lot of oil coming from my 300tdi disco flywheel housing drain plug? It's just started after a service and there is quite a bit coming out (black oil though not new clean oil).

After a number of miles of fast (50mph+) driving in my 300tdi Disco changing gear becomes quite difficult - it's as though I'm selecting gears through treacle - much stiffer than usual and often clunking into first gear. I'm a noob when it comes to touching the gear box and had a referb one...

My 300TDI disco has had some serious repairs in the past, but at the moment nothing is wrong with it. Even the sun roofs are refusing to leak. The MoT is due in a few weeks - should I be worried?

Just been poking around with a screw driver and found some massive holes held together only by the paint in the rear chassis of my 109 series 2a. Is it worth repairing and getting a rear quarter chassis, just patch it up, or save up for a propa new chassis?

Just started to look at the 2.5 N/A engine in my IIA 109 - it run's fine so it just basic maintenance and checking everything that I can easily get at. First stop the water - ohh and there is oil in it. Second stop the rocker cover - nice white and black slime. I'm guessing it's not been...

I'm getting a good deal of sparks from just about everywhere there is a wire on my IIA - is it worth me re-doing my own wiring loom and if so can I use (the right sized) AC mains type cables as I have loads of old red and black stuff and it would be easy to strip out the red and black wires.

Chassis number shows it should be a standard petrol 2.25 unit, but it's not and I don't think it looks like any other 2.25 diesel I've seen. Is it a 2.5 n/a unit? and a great shot of the 6 tone 50 tune siren with led cab controls (no honest - someone put it in there) - oh and the oil...

This is the second time I've had a filter like this - only about 1K miles after installation. Any idea why it's happening?

With my series IIA comming shortly and loads of work still to go on the disco, I wanted to have a go doing some of the welding myself. Partly cos I'm cheap and don't want to keep paying people but I would also like to learn a little and have a go. I've loads of scrap metal around to practice...

Well the Series IIA will be arriving as soon as I can find somewhere to rent me a car trailer thingy at a reasonable cost. So now what do I do with the Disco 300TDI.... do I keep it (with a view to reuse what I can from it) or flog it to get the cash to work on the IIA?

I've been offered an early siii diesel for a ton. No MoT, but it is tax exempt. It drives around on private tracks ok. Anything I need to know/check for or should I just go for it?

Anyone got a simple sensible way of disabling the alarm, damn things keeps going off when it wants too and I have to leave it unlocked most of the time. I would still like to use the remote to unlock the doors (not that half the locks work anyway - darn lock springs). Adrian disco 300tdi '95
