Thank you once again kind Sir:D

Hi Guys How tight is 'just right' for the mounting nuts at each end of the steering damper when fitting a new one to a Disco. Cheers;)

Anyone else for the steering damper

I would suggest new bolts while your at it;)

Guess whos give up last Friday night ;) with similar faults

Alternator knackered ?

prob not the reply you are looking for but.......if mine ever hits 4500 rpm I'll shoot meself for being stupid and i can't believe that anyone would buy a Discovery and worry about its 0-60mph:confused: or 0-100kms whatever way you look at it

Thanks you Sir;)

Have a read at his feedback:eek: . Enough for me;)

Any particular reason for this choice

I am looking to replace the rear shocks as some noob at one time or another has bent the passenger side one at the bottom prob with a trolly jack. Anyways what would you all suggest as a replacement. any particular brand etc. p.s sorry about the crap title:D

nowadays they fit a bag;)

PMSL at this thread. Forgot what the hell I was going to ask now:D

Last question I promise lol. Do you need Two blanking plates. Or would One between the manifold and egr valve be enough;)

How did you blank it off Lenny.

I know i have read this on a number of forums but does removing the egr valve make that big a difference on all Disco's:confused:

:confused: James it is 0.20mm not 0.02mm as I first thought;)

*goes and get book Page 1B.2 Haynes manual under engine for 200 and 300 TDI valve clearence is 0.20mm See my memory is going lol :-)

.020 from memory

My 1996 Disco appears to be burning a slight drop off oil. I suppose with 145000 on the clock this is to be expected. What I am wondering is what would be the heaviest grade of oil that I could put in or can anyone recommend a good oil to use. We are not at the disappearing in blue smoke stage...
