Not knowing the ins and outs of how the coolant flows through the heater matrix I can only assume that the brief period of heating I was experiencing after turning the dial from cold to hot was purely down to the trapped air in the matrix heating up. Another bonus at the moment is that both...

Quick update.... maybe premature but having removed the hoses from the heater matrix at the weekend and attached a hose to the return pipe and flushed the system I (touch wood) appear to have regained heat again. Currently running with the heater on full (even in this heat!) just to keep an eye...

Hmm, I did have heat before the HG change - and did have heat after the HG change for a week or so. Even after a long drive I don't have any noticeably different to normal pressure build up in the header tank - which I would have expected if exhaust gasses were getting in the coolant again...

For some reason I have no heat coming from my vents on my 300tdi disco. I recently had the head re-done and assumed that I had an air lock in the heater matrix so flushed the coolant and made sure the matrix had water flowing through it. This brought the heating back for all of a day. Parked up...

Recently changed mine - it all lined up so no real help.... but getting the bush out was an absolute mare! In the end I used a small chisel (ok... flat blade screw driver...) and beat the crap out of it until i sheared enough of the outer metal of the bush to be able to fold it in on itself and...

Probably about time I add myself here as well.... An approximate location Coventry (During Day), Enderby during working day Diagnostic kit None Towing,Recovery,Trailer Basic recovery gear (recovery strop and shackles). Rigid towing bar. Jump leads, spade in boot. Tools Basic tools, bottle jack...

Bit of an odd one... I've had a quick poke in some of the other threads but haven't seen anything akin to this problem.... Sat at home earlier with Yogi on the road outside and heard what sounded like a burglar alarm, quick look out the window and look but the hazards aren't flashing on Yogi so...

Cable for mine goes through the door seal - poked a hole in the seal and shoved the cable through before connecting it up to the wiring inside. Nice and simple - doesn't get in the way! It's the same way that I have the cable for the CB exiting the car as well (albeit on the other side of the...

If you don't want to drill holes in the bodywork you could always mount a work light to the gutter using a CB antenna mount and then have it wired (via a relay) to come on with the reversing lights? Not the best image....but this is how I have mine. It isn't actually wired to come on with...

Thanks for the replies. Just need to wait for it to warm up and I'll take a look. Don't use the rear windows much and it's too cold outside to start taking bits apart! I'll have a look when its a bit warmer and let you know how I get on

Had a quick look but can't see anything obvious on any other threads... Noticed that the rear electric windows aren't working on Yogi, my 1998 D1 ES. Checked the fuse and it's blown, so I changed it for another 30 amp fuse, which promptly blew as soon as I turned the ignition on. Had a quick...

Today Yogi passed his MOT... having failed on Friday! It was just my luck on Friday that the MOT test was being overseen by a man from VOSA so it failed on a couple of things that are sometimes overlooked (weeping steering pump). It did however also need 2 new tyres and offside track rod end...

Today I have mostly been cursing the evil genius that put the poxy little spring in the door locks on the Disco 1. Having to take most of the drivers door out to then try and remove the lock is not the most fun thing to do! But at least I now have a door the unlocks in the central locking again...

Today I have mostly given Yogi a quick trim...

Today I have mostly fitted the dog guard I picked up locally from Ebay.... borrowed the required rivnut tool from a friend only to discover that a previous owner had already had a dog guard in the car so the rivnuts were already in place! That has to be the first time since buying the car that...

This is where mine sits, complete with the 99p eBay special retractable keychain thingy to keep the wire out of the way....

Thanks for the heads up - I knew about the lights in tunnel but not about the new law. We drive out to Switzerland every year for Christmas/ New year and hadn't spotted the change in law. Have to admit to not taking the Disco (even though I'd love to!) as it's much more economical to take the...

Today I have mostly been cursing the evil genius that designed the electric seat switches on the Discovery 1! Having decided to explore why I had limited movemement in the seat I removed the switch to see what was going on - and promptly ended up with a pile of ball bearings, springs and bits...

Mine did similar when I first bough it - in fact the previous owner had disconnected the offending speakers. I cured the fault by changing the head unit, reconnected the disconnected speakers and all was happy. Might not be what the answer you were looking for but it's how I cured mine.

Did that years ago....:behindsofa:
