Cheers squizzel, it's going into my local independent on Tuesday to have the timing belt done, i will ask them to have a look as it is bugging me. as i say i cannot understand why the clunking in reverse on left hand lock, but then again it is a disco lol.

only seems to be when you drive slow, but as i say i get the same noise when i select p & it rolls where it has not locked the transmission

Hi all, previous to my thread 'clonking in reverse` i have just come back & reversed onto my drive put the car in p & the damn thing has just rolled forward making the same clonking noise as when i reverse. Appart from suprising me & i am even more baffled, has anyone any ideas as this is...

Cheers mhm, will check them this afternoon. thanks again snoops

Hi all, i wonder if anyone can shed any light on my latest problem. When reversing on left hand lock i get a steady clonking noise from the front, cannot tell if it is from the ns or os & it happens on both the flat & on an incline. Thanks snoops :confused:

Never met mhm, but a sound chap has helped me out in the past with various advise:)

Hi Discool, i will try that as my options have just about run out but even if that works it is going to be at the back of my mind every time i remove the key.:confused:

Bloody typical, got in the Disco today with the intention of going to Halfrauds to get a bulb for the heater switches & the bloody key would not turn in the ignition switch. Eventually managed to get it started but could not run the risk of getting into town & then not being able to start it...

Cheers Elmer D, still cannot get over why the sunroof switches are not illuminated when on my tdi 200 the light switch on the indicator stalk was illuminated. Snoops

Cheers Discool, thanks for info will pop down to Halfrauds tomorrow as lights that don't work bug me. Snoops

Replace fuel,air & oil filters today, cleaned out sedimenter & replaced wiper blades. My wife has done a fantastic job of valeting the interior. Took it out after all that & now have a grinding coming from one of the brakes, oh deep joy :frusty:

Hi all, just going through the motions with my recently acquired 300 tdi, coming home tonight i don't seem to have any illumination to the heater controls or any of the sunroof switches. My question is are these items illuminated & if so how do you get to the bulbs. :confused:

Hi Sonic, welcome to the forum & what Disco is it? :welcome2:

That's one hell of a lump to pull out if you cannot undo the fastenings, you might manage it if you remove the front slam panel

Ouch!!!!!

Don't even try to drill out broken studs/bolts with a hss bit anymore, straight in with a cobalt drill

Bit of luck for you that you had predrilled the hole first before the drill snapped, but don't you just hate it when a job goes tits up on you like that. Glad its sorted.:D

I know you have sorted it now, but a couple of years ago i snapped a couple of bolts on a cv hub. Loads of drills later i hadn't made an impression on the sodding things, a mate of mine lent me a cobalt tipped left hand drill. Thought he was tacking the mick but the opposite drilling action...

I think after giving it a good leathering with various sizes of hammer & failing I would have resorted to the gas axe & stuff the consequences

OOOps:5bblush5: Glad i haven't got one I'd be still smacking the c***p out of it.
