    Another clutch problem 300tdi ( London winded but please help)

    That could have been me writing that post 2 weeks ago. New fork fitted went to bleed clutch absolutely nothing, even tried reverse bleeding and after the inital press of the pedal not even a drip of fluid would come out, never seen this after 30 years of working on land rovers. After 2 days of...

    Stainless centre pipe from MM 4x4

    Or do what I did. 2 metres of straight exhaust from motor factor around £10, cut out box from old pipe and weld in straight section. Did the same on front pipe. Couldn't see much point in paying out for a stainless section when the rest is all mild steel.

    dicovery 300tdi alarm

    As I posted a while ago if it's the single button fob it uses the same fuse as the headlamp washers and when they get corroded blows fuse and no arming of alarm. Took about 9 months to track this down as handbook says fuse is only for headlamp washers so I never checked it until I looked at...

    Bush Identification

    Thanks for the info, it's the A frame I was worried about taking off for nothing. On the picture all the bushes behind each number are the same, it's just the way they are sitting on the box, Thanks Guys.

    Bush Identification

    I have already phoned britpart but they couldn't help. Thing is you can't really get a good look at the bushes while they are in place, I tried that method already, Also I believe there are 4 pieces missing otherwise as you say I could take the part off and it should be there, thanks.

    Bush Identification

    Hi chaps, I would be really grateful if someone could identify which of these bushes are for which part. Some bushes are missing and I don't want to be taking something off to find I don't have the bush for it, the sizes are as follows:- 1- 40x30mm 2- 34x59mm 3- 51x50mm 4- 52x41mm. Thanks in...

    Britpart/****part water pump

    Well after the original pump failed at 90k I fitted a bearmach one, that lasted only just over 3k miles till the bearing fell apart so I went and bought a quinton hazell one from local motor factor and done over 11k since then, mind you it was nearly 50 quid. Get what you pay for in this instance.

    At Last - More Power

    Thanks mate, only welded the pipe in as I already had it sat there from when I did the back box, plus I was a bit worried about using that defender pipe without the flexi. The piece I cut out by the way was marked up Jan 95 so was probably well clogged. Cheers.

    At Last - More Power

    Well finally got the old girl to go properly. Over the last year 300tdi has always been a bit snail like performance wise, replaced lift pump, turned screw slightly on injection pump, cleaned sedimentor, changed fuel filter, adjusted valves, blanked egr, silicon hoses, cleaned airbox and...

    300TDi Tensioner wobble?

    Don't know if this helps but, my ****part water pump starting making a noise after only 3000 miles and while I was under the bonnet listening to it I noticed the tensioner bobbing up and down quite a bit (about 3mm or more). Anyway I thought that's just how it is but after fitting the new water...

    Are Disco drivers more intelligent, or just more considerate?

    Trouble is with these younger drivers they seem to think it's cool to drive with fogs and sidelights as it looks good, I bet that 99% of them don't even know it's breaking the law. Another thing is I thought it was illegal to have blue lights on the car, now everyone seems to have them. I saw a...

    fading plastic moulds

    Don't know what silicone you tried but I tried them all on my 300 trim and made no difference, still looked grey. Was thinking about replacing trim until I found the Wynns stuff in Asda and I couldn't belive it - turned black straight away and it lasts a while too, less than £3, worth a try you...

    300 Tdi Throttle Response !!!

    At last, drives much better without the hesitation and accelerates a lot better but still has to be given a large amount of throttle. Engine now has a more aggressive sound as pulls away although I haven't put the injection pump setting back as it was. Still not quite the same as my Dad's 200tdi...

    300 Tdi Throttle Response !!!

    Today I took off the manifold and the rod is stiff in the actuator, managed to move rod against actuator pressure to make sure the part it operates was free. What I have discovered however is that the manifold gasket has split into 3 pieces and it has been leaking badly from the inlet manifold...

    300 Tdi Throttle Response !!!

    Another day of failure!! Bled system and checked fittings, also fitted straight through bypass pipe in place of middle box as it was a bit rotted and I thought it may have been blocked. Have checked the handbrake is free and all filters were done previously, and have been running injector...

    300 Tdi Throttle Response !!!

    Just finished cleaning it out and the petrol came out all black. Tested it and to be honest there may be a slight improvement but I didn't drive down the road and think 'wow it's fixed'. Still has got that initial surge when you accelerate that my dad has in his ?

    300 Tdi Throttle Response !!!

    Ok, will do it the way you said, and yes the other bits were really bad - the inlet was almost blocked on a couple of ports, I think it just got neglected for years, the oil filter looked like it was years old, dont know how it was running as well as it was, thanks.

    300 Tdi Throttle Response !!!

    Just shows my limited knowledge of diesel engines, what an idiot. I will pull it off tomorrow when I get home from work and clean it out and let you know the result, thanks again.
