    Blower / heater motor relay

    The relay (according to haynes for a 200tdi) is behind the driver footwell but which 1 is it? There appear to be 3 or 4 yellow relays and 1 red one. I have no heater motor fan in any position and have power at the fuse so following the circuit through its the relay next, then the switch...

    I know its a million dollar question but wheres the best place to buy a disco? I'm after a 7 seat TDi, with a budget of less than a grand.

    Does Cat C affect prices?

    Its a 300TDi Auto Discovery, 1994 M reg 5 door. 168K Was told that the owner had lost the keys and the insurance company had written it off, the salvage company that bought it (and are now selling it) took it to a lock smith who opened the car for them, they had a good look round and found the...

    Does Cat C affect prices?

    The car i'm thinking of, the owner had lost the keys so the cost of new keys / locks etc would cost more than the car was worth. The car has now been re-locked and VIC checked, but the owner wants roughly the same price as a non cat car.

    TDI headgasket.......

    Its a car on ebay and the reserve is £450, its reasonably local but just a bit unsure as surely a HG wouldn't blow only 20000 miles after a rebuild would it?

    TDI headgasket.......

    Have seen a discovery that has recently had the engine rebuilt but the Headgasket has now gone. The bloke wants about £450 but it has no tax or mot, does this sound about right? Also how easy is it to do a headgasket, im not a novice with the spanners and dont mind getting my hands dirty but...

    V8 on LPG or Diesel?

    Looking for my 1st disco and have hopefully narrowed my search to a couple of locally advertised cars, 1 is a 300 V8 LPG converted and the other is a 300TDi. The V8 is slightly more expensive but has the added benefit of having 2 underslung LPG tanks (total 60l and also is a manual) but has a...
