    Disco Steering locked!

    Firstly, I take it you have tried wriggling the steering wheel, whilst turing it to no avail. Take the covers off the steering column, the ones behind the steering wheel. You'll see the 2 bolts holding on the steering lock on top of the steering column - heads sheered off. Get a pointing chisel...

    td5 disco 52 plate

    Got a 52 plate myself,manual. There's no diff-lock, Traction Control does it automatically. I'd say fit a manual box, but with your traffic conditions in N Lancs you'll need an auto. Check the micro-swtches on the auto-box

    Broken ignition key

    I had a similar problem. I had to take the whole ignition barrel off the car & send it to an automotive locksmith, as we have no local ones here in the Highlands. Kept the car running by taping the broken keyfob to the reciever coil & starting with a screwdriver. Don't forget to tape closed the...

    Disco II Leaking sunroof - possible solution

    I used this fix:- Leaking Sunroof The problem with the sunroof is never the rubber seal. The problem is the connection to the roof tray. The tray is metal and the drain pipe is connected to a plastic outlet box which is factory sealed with silicone and pressed into the metal tray. THIS IS THE...

    Poor Fuel Eco on TD5

    Just done a run, Inverness - York, necked it before & after. Ended up with 32 mpg. I have a slightly heavy right foot, cruised down @ around 75 with the occasional 95 burst. Around home I never have above 1/2 a tank - no point in hauling 45 litres of extra fuel. It was 140 miles before the guage...

    air bag problems

    I've got an 02, bags went last year. They're dead easy. Got mine from Paddock, I think, They're the "new" type that are a push-fit. Jack the car up from the tow-bar, so the axle is @ full extension, you don't even have to take the wheels off (might be easier if you do). Remove the 2 clips on top...

    Newby 300TDI or TD5?

    Don't worry about sunroofs, if it hasn't been going on too long, it only takes a couple of Hrs to fix it. Electric screwdriver & probably even less. Did mine 6 months ago & so far so good.

    WSLR "I then poured water over the upped windscreen seal on the passenger side, and a moment later water poured into the vehicle on the driver side." I had a similar problem, about a 1cm gap between the windscreen seal & the bodywork. Just got some bathroom silicon & sealed it - no leaks for 18...

    300 tdi auto only does 22 mpg

    If you want more mpg, I recommend removing the viscous fan & go electric. Mine cost me around £160, but after fitting I noticed an increase of about 10% in mpg. It's paid for itself in under 6 months.
