Back in the day when I owned a VW there was a spate of engines catching fire due to the increased ethanol content in petrol corroding rubber fuel lines. I put some posh stuff in the 300 the other day, and i have noticed all the top hoses have started ****ing diesel everywhere (thought these were...

Hi Have a pretty solid 300tdi, (few usual issues ie cold starting, rear door locking springs) but otherwise remarkably good for its age. However, the eyes of the wife just see pound signs on the drive and I don't really use it for off road etc, I just like the thing and love driving it about and...

Hi, The old girl has started spluttering and complaining whenever I go up a hill above say 10 degrees. I can smell unburnt fuel and see white smoke, but on the flat she seems relativley happy (although after spluttering on the hill, she is a bit underpowered like on 3 cyclinders or something)...

Hi Recently had my serpentine belt replaced as the previous one disintergrated (I had seen one of the threads going but it perished in the 300 yards back to my house !) I have now have a terrible squeak (like a really REALLY angry canary) when the engine is under load. I have done the usual...

Hi Im my never ending quest to have an easily starting 300tdi in the coming colder months, I have discovered a 1.5 amp drain on the battery when its parked. This may well go some way to explaining why its so pathetic at starting after a week etc. I have done some nosing on the forums etc, and it...

Hi My ABS seems to work OK but it feels a bit medieval for want of a better term, ans I swear that it puts me in danger, when it should just stop dead. I took the ABS fuse out and it was wonderful, but of course there was an error light and buzz My question is, is there a proper way to disable...

OK its that time of year and for whatever reason (frankly tired of the endless waste of money trying to fix it), the Disco 300tdi just hates starting in the sub zero I end up having to charge a spare battery and using that to jump start it. Clearly not an ideal solution for my wife when I am...

Holiday horrors On holiday with wife and kids and about to drive from Devon to Dorset 2 days ago noticed the transmission level was very low, and bought a bottle to top it up (came with a pipe to add via level check tube) Was driven yesterday before I had chance to check the levels. (No...

Hi A very fed up 300tdi owner. Been having recurring starting issues for about a month. Symptom = turns over for ever and if im lucky eventually starts with an enormous plume of white smoke, if im unlucky the battery just drains. Tried new glow plugs, new fuel pump, and a non return valve on...

Hi, Happy New Yer! Done all the usual searches, and all lock posts seem to be about the springs going. I have a bit of a different issue. Last night I put the key in to lock it, and felt a strange click, and the barrel no longer engages the lock mechanism. Just freely turns left and right. I...

Hi. Please bear with me on this, I have done a fair bit of searching on here and other forums, but im finding myself getting confused after reasonable diagnostics (at my level) Imported Jap 300tdi with blanked off EGR. Starts fine all year, as soon as it gets to zero, its a pain in the arse...

Land Rover Disco Discovery Series 1 300tdi rear seats | eBay Sherborne Dorset. Collection only

Sounds ridiculous i know, but im oddly addicted to the free demo i downloaded from the site. Looks there there is some amazing vehicles on the full version SPINTIRES™ - Official Site Heres a vid which oddly they dont put on their site https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiOt7SuHGPM

Have a 300tdi Disco, and want to put some sort of roof bars on it. However, have v little cash. Ive seen a few old style roof racks (that clamp to sills) down at the tip, but I think they look too squat to reach all the way over the rear roof hump. Has anyone on here managed to find something...

Hi, Im in a bit of a pickle. My Jap 300Tdi Auto is stuck in PARK. Happened a couple of weeks ago, and I was told to rummage round the brake pedal and pull out the sensor wires and bridge the gap. As it happened I pulled out the vacumn sensor (which I now find is related to the cruise control)...

Hi, A few days ago I was in town and I suddenly couldnt get the truck out of park. To get me going I pulled the switch that sits above the brake pedal out, and that got me going, and I was able to drive around happily for a day yesterday stopping and starting frequently. However I got home...

Just been given a Karcher and Ive run out of things to blast in the back garden :). Thoughts turning to the Landy..Thinking a good jet under there will remove the winters salt etc, its pretty well undersealed (so i guess salt isnt a massive issue) but was wondering if i may do more harm than...

Whilst it may sound like a blessing, its actually a big pain in the arse esp when it comes to insurance and MOT etc. The speedo works fine on my disco series 1, however my mileage and trip mileage wont rotate anymore and is stuck on 159999 (almost as if it couldn't quite manage to roll over to...
