Driving to work this morning my 300 TDi Auto started squealing like a stuck pig. I thought it was a belt slipping but when I got to work and put the car in neutral it would rev quite happily without a hint of a noise. On the way home this evening the noise became much louder. I opened the window...

My 96 300TDi Auto has developed a strange knocking noise whenever I switch the engine off. When I switch the engine off and the old diesel lump shudders to a halt you can briefly hear a metallic knocking / clanking noise much like the exhaust hitting the engine. Over the past few weeks it has...

2 days ago my ABS light came on about 1 mile from home. I parked the car (1996 300 TDi Auto) on the drive and left it overnight. Yesterday morning I couldn't get it out of Park to reverse off the drive. Searching this forum I found that it could be caused by a faulty brake light switch. I...

My NSR window dropped and wouldn't close. On close inspection I found that the plastic bush that sits in the channel has snapped in half disconnecting the regulator arm from the bottom of the window glass. The regulator mechanism and motor are fine, all I need is the plastic or nylon bush. Are...

My Wife called me at work today to say the Discovery was making a loud rumbling noise. When I got home I found that the rear propshaft coupling had destroyed itself. This is the 3rd one in 6 months and I guess it is down to the fact that the Disco is lifted by 2 inches. My Discovery is a 300 TDi...

I've worked out that my 300 TDi is giving me 21 mpg on average. To try and improve on this I am about to blank off the EGR, clean out the intercooler and fit a decat pipe. My question is, is there anything else I should be doing to the vehicle to help improve MPG?

Right, the 300 is back from the menders and I have noticed a gash in the side wall of the OSR tyre. I have plenty of tread on all of the tyres and was planning to replace them with good quality AT's when they got all bolded. Now my hand has been forced what should I do? I don't want to replace...

First of all merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone. So far I have had quite an eventful holiday season. On Saturday night we had our 300 TDi rear ended by a drunk driver in a little Clio (stupid woman). She hit the osr area and submarined under the Diso as it is fitted with a lift...

I should get the 2" lifted 300 TDi next week. What upgrades do you suggest are worth considering? I already have the EGR mod and de-cat ear marked but what about poly bushes etc? All suggestions gladly received. Paul

Evening all, yesterday I posted in the newbie section to introduce myself and today I put a deposit down on an Imported County. I have posted some pictures in the gallery. It looks blue in the pictures (taken on my mobile phone) but it is a strange green colour in reality. It has a winch bumper...

Afternoon all, my names Paul and have just joined this forum as I am currently looking to buy a Discovery. I don't know the first thing about them so will be browsing this site trying to glean as much info as possible. I live in Bristol, in the middle of building a kit car and recently started...
