There is quite an art to topping the water, have you searched this forum for the various methods? if you get it wrong the heater wont work, on mine i had to back flush the heater matrix and also fill it before going through the top up process, this fixed my overheating when towing, getting it...

I fitted a new cambelt In a 300tdi auto but made the flywheel lockIng tool out of the drain plug by drillIng and tappIng It and putting a small bolt in it afterwards. you could probably gamble on the crank not moving during belt replacement but it would add a bit of risk to the job. I found the...

mine came on after i left the ignition on, the gradual drop in battery voltage causes the srs black box to show a fault, eg low voltage, it has to be reset to make the light behave normally, although i did not bother. Im not sure if only landrover dealers can do the reset. Disconnecting the...

jet washing yr rad can wreck it! fins get bent over and block air flow etc. it might be worth changing the thermostat, even it appears to be working and cutting in at the right temp it may not be opening fully? note it is bypass type so removing as a test to see if it the cuase of the problem...

top bearing on abs models is not a taper roller it is a plain bearing to allow the sensor to go through the middle of it....... the bottom bearing is a taper roller same as non abs models

hi:daze, as you have the water tank out you can check the rubber seal around the wires isnt your source of leak as it is exposed when the tank is out, normally you cant see it. That seal does not leak on mine, or at least thats not where the leak shows itself, im not sure how water would get to...

Thanks Richard, Ill give that fix a bash. What puzzles me is how water can get from the screen to the footwell! Does it get inside the pillar and then into the footwell? Ive had both the wings off and there is virtually no rust on my car, whilst there I just redid the sealant on the vertical...

Time will tell if I have made a mistake but my 1996 tdi has done 340,000 and had a few cam belt changes, and I changed the last one myself but only replaced the belt onto the existing toothed pulleys without shoulders. The belt on it looked like new and had done 100,000 km. Leads me to think...

Hi Richard, at the risk of hi jacking this thread could you provide some details on the source of leak and how you fixed it pleasee? Mine leaks when water is poured half way up rhe windscreen, passnger side. Water poured in main gutter at base of windsceen does not cause a leak, its drving me...

if it had damp carpet but not caaused by rain aircon drains would be the suspect,:if it has aircon! personally I hate the leaks, I just dont like the idea of the car rusting away if I could stop it, just wish I could stop it.......

hi, even though you want to keep it standard I think it is good advice to remove the rubber sound proofing from the front footwells, in the long term it will stop rust in those areas, if you do manage to stop the leaks, which is by no means certain :mad::mad: you will you can maybe put some back!

my left hand front sensor gives me similar but not same problems, mine the light either stays on or comes on after quite driving an hour or more, or sometimes afer hitting a big bump like railway crossing, Usually problem from blink codes is air gap but also sometimes wiring. I can usually push...

g233 cured his non start problem by bypassing the fuel solenoid...I think......depending on your type of pump you could try this, on ssome like mine there is a spade terminal you can simply apply 12v to, tto bypass it, or you can remove the spring inside it, which has same effect, iff you dont...

check the power steering oil level? if low the pump cavitates and makes a noise...

my 96 disco 1 has no egr, no electronic engine management (just a mechanical fuel injector pump) but has black boxes for abs, srs, alarm. The trickiness does not vary just with years and series is what Im saying as mine is NZ spec and hence does not have as much trickiness as other disco 1s of...

have you changed any tyres recently? Reason I ask is that after a tyre went flat I put the spare on mine and altho the same size it was a different brand and made the abs very unstable and kick in all the time, it did not cause your fault of the abs light going out until reaching 50 tho.

surely you could get a used one for not much cash? I doubt any repair would be worth trying given it must be much easier to fit a used one?

check the power steering oil level when low it can cause odd noises?

I had the same problem, I decided it must be a break in the wiring to the solenoid and I did my best to trace it back but did not want to dismantle the dash etc so I never found where, so I wired direct from the glowplug relay supply, to the solenoid. Job done though I would have preferred to...

I 2nd the prior post, if it helps.....after buying my 1st 300tdi I was worried by a knocking noise from the engine particularly from cold but I consulted a few "experts" eg ex owners of the same model and they said mine was one of the quietest 300tdi's they had ever heard.......to me its a...
