    Grind while heavy braking?

    Doe's a light light up on dash saying ABS when you switch on if it does you've got ABS or you can look under the bonnet follow brake pipes from servo if they go to quite a large box with ABS wrote on it .... but I dont think abs was fitted on 93 200tdi's but Iam not sure.

    electric problems

    Hi if your battery light is on constantly when switched off you have a faulty altenator remove it and ask a auto electrician place or retailer that has testing facilities to run a bench test most places will do this free or for a small fee but either way it will be worth the trouble.

    Landrover discovery 300 tdi

    I'm NOT SURE BUT I THINK THE TIPS ARE MADE OF COPPER AND IF THEY ARE THEY ARE NOT MAGNETIC TEST THE ONES YOU HAVE REMOVED FIRST. BUT PERSONALLY I KNOW ITS A LOT OF WORK BUT I'D REMOVE THE HEAD AND DO NOT EVEN TRY TURNING TH ENGINE OVER AS IT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.

    Hi I am sure you can get a replacement handle for the alco that is smaller and it comes with an extender that hooks on enable you to push the alco down into place when used on a 4x4.or you could fit an adjustable height tow bar and a 25 mm spacer to give you a little more room to lift.
