I'm looking at it again now. Permanent live is purple, switched live is green and orange wire. When left a while green and orange wire shows 0v switch ignition on and shoots upto 12.5v. Switch ignition off and slowly starts dropping as opposed to switching straight off. I'm happy this is the...

The wires I described are from the vehicles wiring loom.

I've tested the wires and got a constant 12v through a purpley wire and the switched is a blue and yellow wire. That wire shows 12v when the ignition is on but when turned off starts to slowly decrease as opposed to switching off.

I've just fitted a stereo in my 1996 300 tdi discovery. The radio doesn't switch itself off with the ignition. I've tested the wiring and the switched live doesn't go off with the ignition although the voltage does slowly decrease. What is the likely cause of this?? I thought ignition switch but...

Yeah. rad is hot all over. Water pump was new 200 miles ago when it had a timing belt.

A couple of weeks ago my P reg 300tdi discovery overheated on the motorway. Coolant pressurised and sprayed out of the header tank. I removed the head and sent it off for checking. I couldn't find any sign of a break in the head gasket. Head came back as warped so was skimmed and sent back to...

Hi. After owning Land Rovers for a number of years now I'd heard the horror stories of Britpart spares but luckily I'd never fallen foul of them.... Until now!! Last week I replaced the head gasket on my 300TDI. I had the head skimmed and really took my time, cleaning and replacing parts...

They have now amended the error. Shelves near me are restocked and price amended to show the 28p reduction as opposed to 28p price.

After days of messing around I sorted this. It was a faulty, plastic union on the fuel line to the lift pump. When I tested the pump by putting fuel direct to the pump I disconnected it and must have pushed it back on tight when I tested it from the tank. I'm really annoyed that it took so long...

Sedimentor has been by passed in the past. Sender is plastic so no metal elbows visible. I've had it running by putting the fuel lines from the sender into a can of diesel so process of elimination says it's the sender but I can't see what could be wrong with it to be drawing in air!!

I don't think it needed it but I replaced the lift pump yesterday and it made no difference. I removed the sender today and ran some brake cleaner through it and it seemed fine????

Hi. I'm currently trying to solve a problem with a 97 300TDI discovery. It cuts out under revs and only revs to about 3000. On releasing throttle it cuts out then. I have traced the problem to the fuel sender in the fuel tank. I extended the fuel lines from the sender and put them in...

I appear to have sorted it. Stripped it down, cleaned it up and gave it a good drenching with WD40 and now it works fine. Sorted out my non cancelling out indicators whilst I was at it and fitted a new steering wheel so a bit of TLC for the disco today!!

Hi. I've done a search but cannot find an answer. I have a 1997 300TDI Disco which has recently developed an issue with its windscreen wipers. Sometimes when I put the wipers on, nothing happens!! This can be a bit unnerving, especially when it starts to chuck it down.. Sometimes, there...

Hi. Due to excess smoke on my 200tdi I'm going to do a compression test. What values would indicate good compression?? I know that all 4 should be the same but what reading should I expect?? Thanks

How do you check timing on this engine?? I have checked all the hoses and the turbo is spinning from tickover. It does kick out some blue smoke under acceleration until warm. I am a bit concerned about the CAF to the turbo. It has a wolf airbox mounted on top of n/s wing and hose goes...

The issue with low revs only occurs from cold. After a couple of minutes it's a lot better. Any ideas??

What's the IP?? Engine was fitted when I got it. Thought it was slow then but just assumed I'd forgotten how steady they are. Engines done about 160k. Had a similar problem with my 2.5TD. A new fuel filter and it was transformed. I can see this getting expensive!!

I'm now running out of ideas of what to look at next. I have a 90 with a disco 1 200tdi retro fitted. The overall performance is terrible. My previous 2.5 TD had better acceleration!! When I pull away from junctions I have to rev it as fast as it will go to have any chance of getting out...

Hi. Planning on fitting an electric fan this weekend to my 200tdi. Currently running with no fan but want to fit one for odd occasion its needed. Does anyone have a wiring diagram? Just want to wire it back to a switch in the cab so I can manually switch it on when eng temp gets too high...
