Just done mine this afternoon. 1.5 turns on top bolt one turn on spider wheel just past 90 degrees on diaphragm No smoke and a definite improvement in performance. I'm often sceptical about small mods like this, often any improvement seems to be down to the placebo effect. But there is a...

Thanks Dirty Tom. All sorted now. I bought an injector seat cutter for £25 on ebay, cut the seat, dropped in a new washer and it's job done!

Hi, I am having an issue with one of my injector seats leaking. This issue became apparent to me after a recent HG change. I have removed the injector to inspect the seat and can see obvious damage to the cylinder head. There is essentially a channel formed between the injector seat and...

Thank you to everyone who offered advice. Valve clearances checked and adjusted and.... It's Aliiiiiiive!!!!:D Running nice and smooth, exhaust a bit blue/white to start with but soon cleared once up to temperature. Only problem now is engine seems to be overheating. Air lock in cooling system?

I have tried to start it with the wire connected to the stop solenoid, but with no joy. Melted wires was one of my thoughts but there doesn't seem to be any, so I assume something got wet and knackered a relay or something somewhere.

I didn't think to check the valve clearances. I was careful not to disturb anything so thought I'd get away with it. I'll check/adjust 'em and let you know how I get on. Thank you for taking the time to help.

Many thanks for your replies. Unfortunately I never got to go off-roading on Sunday due to the disco blowing its head gasket on Friday! :( Just towed it home today. I've now got a week a and a half to get it fixed before the next opportunity to get it off road.

I'm new to the forum but have had a good read through and a search of past threads, but not been able to come up with the info I'm looking for (although I'm sure it must be on here somewhere). I'm planning on taking a trip to Slindon Safari on Sunday for my first bash at off-roading in my new...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, new to Land Rovers and new to 4x4s, off-roading, green laning and aything else related to the topics on this website! :rolleyes: My Christmas present to myself was my disco 300tdi. Its not my day-to-day car, but intended as a toy for the weekends. I traded my...
