Hmmm, yep, well I'll be able to use me 30mm on the gearbox drain plug, cos I really think that one is 30mm (well it's bloomin' big anyway). When I have fianally managed to change me timing (cam) belt, do an oil change, replace me oil and me fuel filters and me air filter oh yes and me...

Hiya Trewy! thanx 4 the info on the sump plug size. Those Land Rover builder guys are well naughty! But whatever, that's all part of the fun of owning a Landie anyway. I'm gonna do me timing belt on Friday and saturday, so hopefully the 30mm socket will get a run out anyway. I've just...

To ShinyDiscoBall: Hi, After reading your post stating 30mm socket for sump drain plug, I went and bought a 30mm socket. Went under my 300Tdi M reg Disco to check it fitted, and wow man 30mm is well too big! My drain plug is at the back of the sump and looks about 12 - 13 mm. What am I...

Dear Grantsmith. Taking the instrument cluster out was REALLY EASY. I used - Haynes Manual (didn't need it really) and 2 phillips screwdrivers - one small and one big - that's all. Disconnect NEGATIVE lead from BATTERY FIRST !!!!!!! Use steering column adjuster to lower the steering...

Have you tried this? From Outside the car, use the key to open (i.e. pop the little latch thing fully up). Keep the key turned and keep the little latch thing fully up. Use other hand to open the door. This might work, it did for me on my Driver's Door. Reason could be as follows:- There is...

Hi! Sorry but my post isn't really strictly Land Roveryish. Where are you going Mountain climbing? Is it in Spain somewhere? I iz askin 'cos I just bought my disco last month in hopes of using it to go touring and Mountain Climbing in Spain!! (need to get fit again first cos I iz 55 yrs...

Thanks for the quick response G man! I understand completely about the diff lock now. Yikes, I hope me cv's will last acouple more months 'cos I guess they would cost a bit to get replaced!

Not sure if its a problem, maybe just my curiosity but - ........ I know what the Diff Lock is for - it ensures that all wheels will be driven even when there is no friction. It stops wheels spinning by locking out the differential on both front and rear axles. BUT, what I don't know is how...

Spooky!! I was just about to post exactly the same question! When I bought my M. Reg Tdi300 Disco ES last month, the fuel gauge read empty. I put £4 worth of diesel (say 4 litres) into it and when I switched on the ignition the fuel gauge went to HALF Full! So I drove to the filling staion...

Thanks guys. I've got a local 'Andrew Page' and a few others close to where I live, so I'll nip in this afternoon. I guess I'll also be able to get a reasonably priced 'puller tool' to help me get the crankshaft pulley off me '95 M Reg Tdi 300 Disco ES manual (no aircon). I need to replace the...

Where can I get the strange 32mm spanner for the viscous fan please?

Hey guys and gals, does anybody know exactly the distance from seat belt anchor points can be rusted before it will fail MOT? I iz askin cos my disco has a 2 cm hole in rear wheel arch at the top at the point where it meets the vertical bit of the rear body.

Hi Guys and Gals. I live in Bury, Lancashire, 8 miles north of Manchester and 5 miles east of Bolton. Wanted a landrover for about 40 (yes FORTY) years so finally bought a Disco Tdi 300 M reg (but with 1995 onwards electrics !!???) 3 weeks ago. Have just spent about 4 days solid farting about...

This is now resolved. Somebody told me about a scrapyard in Bury. Went there, found a Disco, removed and and bought Front Door Lock for £10.

Hi all. Can't operate driver's door. Stripped door trim off, took handle mechanism out and found that Cam attached to key barrel had snapped. Went to local motor spare shop. He got Land Rover microfiche and said, "you need a new RED CAM". 1. my broken cam is grey?? 2. all my research (2 hours...
