I have a 97 D1 300tdi, it came to me with raised springs/dampers (Terrafirma +4" I think), and tired suspension bushes. The ride quality is pretty bad, harsh and crashing. It's fitted with 235/70R16 tyres. It's mainly used on road, although sometimes loaded heavily, but generally not. My...

I've been slowly working my way through maintenance jobs on my D1 300tdi, most recently, the exhaust/manifold was blowing, so I took the opportunity to fit a decat downpipe, all fitted fine, with no leaks. However, when checking, I notice I'm getting a small puff of smoke from the back of the...

When I got my Disco, the ABS had been disabled, presumably because of a fault. However, I'm a bit uncomfortable that the ABS pump is still in place, so really should be working or completely removed. So, as I'm going through fixing stuff, I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet, and try to...

Duplicate thread, sorry.

Hi, I'm tring to diagnose a leak, and wondered if my resevoir cap should have an o ring to seal it? 1998 300tdi

I'd like to know what they're called, and more importantly if they are correct for a Disco 1. Thanks

Hi, Recently bought a 300tdi, and have a number of jobs to do, whilst assessing the car, I noticed that the underside of the fuel tank is wet, seems to be light and oily, smells a bit like diesel, but unsure. I also seem to have a seeping rear diff (drain plug). I'll deal with the rear diff...

Hi from sunny Spain, I recently decided to get a 4x4, and narrowed things down to to Disco or Defender 300Tdi. Mainly for simple DIY maintenance, lots of on-line support, and cheap spares prices. My preference is for a Defender, but they are pretty scarce round here. However I have found a...
