    Handbrake stuck on 200tdi

    Cut your handbrake cable, (remove centre console, all of it) and replace, simple enough jobby :) Then replace battery earth to chassis cable, then change starter earth too :) Could also, try just cleaning up the ends of the cables if the cables themselves seem in fine condition :)

    Ok, so the negative earth strap seems to be corroded, what size do i need just to replace it? Will this do the trick, i have no idea which one i need! :P 48" STARTER EARTH STRAP CAR BATTERY LEAD CABLE | eBay Or maybe this one? 18" EARTH STRAP NEGATIVE TERMINAL BATTERY LEAD CABLE | eBay I'm...

    That's also clogged up. So will just Whipping both them off, and giving them a clean solve the issue, or do you think I should buy new earth cables?

    Starter motor cables all seem fine, negative earth strap looks a little ****ty, being that it's clogged up with all sorts of crap, i'll whip that off and give it a clean. Is there another earth cable from battery i should be looking at?

    Sorry, JD, it's a 300tdi disco, 2.5L :) I almost suspected earthing again yesterday :( But after the problems i had before with it, i didn't want it to be true :'( Melted my handbrake cable last time :P And thanks Danny, will check that out shortly :) (When rain stops hammering down!)

    Starter Motor?

    Hey, just a quickie... Hopefully! So yesterday, after running all day, my car suddenly didn't start. All i'd hear is a click, a faint turning of the engine, as if it was going to start and then nothing. While trying to start it, my dashlights would dim. First assumption, battery. Jump leads...

    Blue smoke

    I haven't personally tweaked with it at all. So i'd assume it might have been the previous guy? Would explain the diesely smell? As i have no idea how to get it back to factory settings, so to speak, i guess the best option would be to buy a new fuel pump?

    Blue smoke

    Hey guys, another one to pick your brains with. (I own a 300tdi disco, 1994.) So i have blue smoke, when i start the car, it starts blowing blue smoke, and even when engine is warm it blows blue smoke. The smell is a rich smell, and has been described to me by others, as the sort of smell you...

    Handbrake Cable

    Where'd you source them from? Seemed cheapest place i could find, that would actually get me one, when i wanted it. Tried phoning Joyces (LR Specialist by me) And they wanted £85! Either way, i won't be charging whoever wants it for the item :)
