    I was saying about the whole set: 2 keys, 3 door barrels, 1 ignition, 1 fuel flap barrel... Here you are if this is what you're after: click me

    Key barrel

    For a side door or for the back door? What was the part#, if you have it handy? P.S. What about the key?

    Key barrel

    My guess is LR said that the vehicle is too old for them to make (have made for them) a barrel that will suit your key. The options that I see: - buy a complete set, including ignition and keys - get a SH set as above from a breaker's yard or ebay (there is one set available today) - EDIT...

    CV Joint

    No worries, take your time. We're in no hurry and neither is the CV joint, it can wait a few more days/weeks no problems. Just go easy on the throttle when sharp turning, specially on full locks.

    CV Joint

    AFAIK the 24 spline axles were standard on discos from march 1994 - model year 1995 (same time when ABS became available). If you want to be positively sure, get the front axle serial number: - it should have a 3 character code (like 32L for example), folowed by a serial number, I guess 5...

    fuel switch/purger or what.

    ... and the reason that lever appeared like doing nothing is 'cause the fuel lift pump is a mechanical one, it is cam driven and it was on the tip of the cam at that moment. Flick the starter switch next time to rotate the engine a bit, like half or full turn.

    Engine Speed Sensor

    Welcome to the forum! Some say it takes 20 mins to change it (from underneath) and some found out that it takes days to do that. Have a look here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/300tdi-engine-speed-sensor-38577.html I guess it's down to the Land Rover good old tolerance working in your favor...

    ticking over

    Better use the genuine sedimentor. No real benefit from putting a filter there. Some people bypass it. I wouldn't. A new one is about 30 quid. Or you can get one from a scrap/breaker's yard. Shouldn't be more than 10 quid. Just try to find one from a newer vehicle. Land rover Sedimentor range...

    R380 drain plug tightening?

    CharlesY, Galen was asking about the filler plug, not the drain/sump plug (which has a copper washer). Galen, I don't use anything on the filler plug and the place around it is as dry as a bone (same R380 gearbox). If you have the stuff then use it. If you don't, put it back as it was and if...

    300 Tdi Sump Gasket

    Is there any smoke at the exhaust while cranking? Not even some small puffs? Did you disconnect the injector fuel pipes from the injection pump or just undone them from the injectors only?

    R380 drain plug tightening?

    How much time did you spend struggling :p ? Use a wrench and do it by hand. If you didn't replace the copper washer you should tight it a little bit more (something like 10% more torque). Read the paragraph that starts with "Once all the oil has drained out...." here: 5 speed box Oil change...
