    egr

    I know this has been done to death on various LR models but if cost was not the issue, would blanking off the (failing) egr valves on my 05 Disco 3 be the best option?

    shreded aux drive belt

    On holiday last week and the auxiliary drive belt on my 300tdi started shredding itself on the inside (closest to the engine). Put a new one on and 50 miles later same thing. A quick look underneath shows the steering pulley pump to be responsible. How can this be? Any ideas?

    Hi, My 300tdi is loosing charge when switched off. What is the normal draw for the motor when switched off (radio, alarm, clock etc)?

    300tdi lpg coversion

    If I understand the system corectly a small amount of LPG is added to the combustion misture, this improves the burn from 80% to 98% giving better mpg and increased power.

    buyer beware, that other site.

    I recently bid on and won a set of wheels and tyres on that well known site. I paid via paypal as requested as soon as I had won only to receive a message chastising me for doing so. The seller said he had refunded me and wanted to exchange with cash soonest, (yeh right)). The tyres or refund...

    what does this do?

    Whilst rooting around in my battery box to find why my leasure battery is not charging I came across a block of 4X- SHORT STOP 12V C14 40amp things. In line on the pos(+) to the winch. Give us a clue.

    cool

    That all makes sense, this is all the result of an overly warm engine (rad shagged). Hopefully when I attach the the van,should be cool runnin.!

    cool

    Can you over cool a diesel engine (300tdi)? Just put an uprated rad on and its not hit 70"c yet (capilliary temp gauge).

    Capiliary temp gauge.

    Just purchased one one of these, the buisness end comes with a 5/8 unf nut. Anyone fitted one of these? Could do with a heads up before I start drilling holes.

    gutless 300tdi?

    I occasionally use my 110 300 tdi as a shed puller. The van is a single axle and not the heaviest. On anything other than the flat it struggles, temp in the red and on that long uphill drag on the A55 north wales, second gear! Full size Allard intercooler, silicon hoses, Kenlowe fan, straight...
