Hi all, just picked up a 1996 disco 300tdi for £1020 with 12 months tax and test
A few questions really - it has some oil leaks (naturally) and was wondering if anyone had some obvious places to look? it looks like one is coming from back of engine, at first i thought from head gasket but looking closer I think its dripping down from rocker gasket to head gasket and all down engine? sound plausible?
Also the diffs have some oil running down from the plug - is this because of it being topped up or the seals on the plugs knackered?
I've ordered an EGR delete with intercooler pipe so look forward to getting that on
Did have a funny experience earlier, noticed the cover under passenger side dash was loose so i tapped it back into place, and the hazards came on? I could hear a relay clicking from this green box, unplugged the connectors and alarm went off. Was fiddling for ages then it just stopped and has been fine since. any ideas??
Last question for now - Diff lock. I can feel it engage when I move the lever up and right, down and left, and down and right but nothing up and left, is that right? Also the diff lock light comes on sometimes, but not others, and doesn't always go off straight away - Dodgy connection or TB/Linkage problems?
Thanks in advance for any help
