    300 Tdi Sump Gasket

    Don't worry too much about the plugs, the 300tdi starts without them down to freezing temp. Did u readjust the valve clearance? What disco is that, auto or manual?

    We already went and figured out than no forum admin in this world will let you search for 2 and sometimes 3 letter words. The proper way to search a proper indexed forum for 2 letter words is by using google. Start from here: google results. You can add/replace any words/letters there but keep...

    smoking

    One thing is that there's almost no difference in price (both tests against leak test only). Another thing is that is must be good for something as soon as most of the tool manufactures in the automotive industry sell diesel comp testers (adapters and gauges). By the way, it doesn't matter if...

    smoking

    That's right. Around here you get both tests done as part of the so called "compression test", hence wot i wrote. The leak test part is better cause you can listen/see to were the comp air leaks are: exhaust, intake, crank case (filler), coolant circuit, sometimes even oil circuit if there is a...

    smoking

    Smoking coming out from the filler has nothing to do with the turbo. Do a compression test or take the head off and inspect.

    ABS, Traction Control (ETC) and Hill Descent Control (HDC) Warning Lights all on

    The disco owners from across the pond call these 3 lights "The Three Amigos" or "Christmas Lights". Have a look on some of their threads on the subject: search results.

    MTF-94 Gearbox Oil!

    You can order it from an online shop and have it delivered to Burton on Trent. For example from: STC9157 (aprox 100 mi north from Burton). This is what I take, the 5 liter can and I split it in half with someone else. Or have it delivered directly to you, it shouldn't be too expensive.

    Steering Question, again!!!!!!

    It will make no difference whatsoever. What you adjust there has nothing to do with the assisted side of the steering box, if I may say so.

    Handbrake question

    Take the pin out and check how the lever, teeth and button work. Maybe the lever got bent or something. If all ok then use a smaller pin in diameter (or u can use a philips screwdriver) to test again. If all ok then try the original pin back again. If not ok then turn the handbrake cable's tip...

    Key programming

    The two button key fobs can be programmed only with the help of TestBook or similar. There's no manual sequence (part of anti theft measures starting those years).

    Steering Question, again!!!!!!

    I don't agree on that, Charles. If you tighten the screw with the steering on full lock then you won't be able to steer it back to the straight ahead position. You will find out that you need to loosen the screw almost the same amount back. If you remember I was telling you before in another...
