1.7 bar from the turbo is huge-in theory a diesel can never have enough air but that's the most I have heard about If you turn the screw-at the back of the injector pump- from the 12 o clock position to the 20 min past position you should fly...

Try adjusting the delivery pump,

Do have an idea where i can purchase these spacers for the rear trailing arms. These will change the angle of the rear differential and the original doughnut could be used which is preferential I think.

Wot @Jon said ... he beat me to it ....

I replaced the old doughnut with a disco 200Tdi rear prop and rear diff flange. The flange is different on the 300Tdi and is not compatible with a 200Tdi prop.

My disco also had a 2 inch lift. The doughnut never lasted more than 2-3 years which may have been in part due to the lift. Never had an issue with the 200Tdi prop.

Replace with a steel, jointed U/Jone off a V8.

Look at the left of the prop, a grease nipple. So yes. J

Propshaft will have a sliding joint.

Why did you replace it , did you have issues , did it resolve any ? Thanks Thanks for the link, did the parts you fitted have a sliding joint fitted to the prop shaft, not clear in the pictures. Thanks.

We were using our 300tdi for some extreme hill climbing on slippery rocky wet ground today and had issues. I have raised suspension (2 inches) and have issues with the prop shaft doughnut collapsing I think 3 have been replaced in one year. This...

Hi all, I have a project requiring the dimensions of a defender front screen being retrofitted to another Landy and wonder if anyone has a rough dimension of the front windscreen, just rough not exact with the rubber . This could be the starting...

Hi, I'm pretty sure the flash rate is a product of current flow through the flasher unit. If you have bad earths in the bulb circuit it could produce this symptom even though the bulbs a working but not a bright as normal.

My 300 tdi is awful on the road, fitted with large wheels mud tyres and lifted 2 inches. Things weren't too bad before these were fitted though, it's almost like the wheel base is too short. If your not going off road I'd suggest getting things...

Thankyou for your help

Thanks for your reply you sound very knowledgeable, I wonder if you could direct me to the inertia switch location so as I can "adjust" it. Many thanks. If it helps it's a 1998 discovery 300tdi RHD. Cheers.

It should only be an issue when the vehicle has a very hard knock or bump as in an accident, there’s inertia switch which will signal the doors to unlock, if locked, and also set the hazards flashing. To cancel, is by switching off the...

I think it is built in, I remember first time it happned on my old 200 disco as I drove into a ditch!

Don't some vehicles automatically switch on hazards when it registers its been in an accident, along with tripping the fuel cut off? Related to that maybe?

mine did the same for many years till it wore out while doing 60 on the road you just need to switch off while still driving and then on again a second later and it clears till the next time no need to even take it out of gear

I've noticed the hazard flashers switch on after going over rough ground or a large bump and can't be switched off until the engine is stopped. I'm wondering if this is a fault or some built in safety device, is it adjustable to be less sensitive...

I did not include the "damper thingy" just made up new pipes to bypass it. Not much to see but you get the jist?

Petersfield is the administrative centre. I’m a bit Norf in Bordon.

Well I fitted the servo today and the results are so much better than the heavy clutch previous. Before I had to push the pedal a long way but now it's a few inches and so light. I agree that the feed back /bite is a bit vague but not an issue...

Not sure where East Hampshire is but it sounds wonderful . Where is it?

I have a similar thing on my TD5, clutch is as light as a feather, or even lighter maybe? Down side being the bite point, strangely, is difficult to judge, making hill starts awkward.

Disco 300tdi Fairly close to Ringwood
