right oh thanks people had another look at it seems that there will be just enough space to get a socket and extension between the turbo and manifold. Other than that 1 inacessible bolt though I must say this is a refreshingly easy head to remove try removing the heads on a DAF twin pot with the...

I intend to turn this thread into a step by step guide as to how to change the head gasket on a 300TDI engine as so far I can't find one on the forum. Im currently doing one at the moment but have run into a slight problem and am after a little advice. The problem is such down pipe studs have...

Been getting stuck into this job this evening and all was going nicely until time came to remove the manifolds. Inlet off easy no problem, exhaust now that isn't so easy is it. Im sorry but how in the world do you get to the centre lower manifold stud undone. I can't see it I can only just feel...

Might have to pull out of this now, if I do I will be very dissapointed but the unheard of has happened my Landy overheated and blew its HG yesterday. Whether I make it now depends on the severity of the damage done if I can get away with just throwing another gasket at her all will be fine and...

Checked her again just now and it had lost that litre of water. Rad is evenly hot all over started her up and the idle is a little rough she is hunting slightly, she feels slightly down on power and the expansion tank pressurised in less than 20s. Putting my hand over the expansion bottle with...

Mines running 205 80 60 Cooper Discoverer AT. Personally I like narrower tyres as most of what I do has hard stuff underneath mud and that size cuts through it nicely

Just checked the water level and shed lost about 1litre over the last week to 10 days. There was still plenty in the expansion bottle it was maybe 1/2 a centimeter below the seperation line. Big long hill on the last leg home about 4 miles steady uphill climb at about 1:7 with the disco pulling...

A week or so ago my 300tdi disco started getting hot under load. I stopped let her cool down and discovered she'd emptied her expansion tank. So I refilled her and carried on with no further overheating. Went to go home again and noted that the expansion tank was down again so filled her up a...

tapatalk is fine but anything goes doesn't work through it. At least it doesn't when i try

So.am I . I really should be revising for the exam I've got the day after but playing with landies and meeting you lot is much more appealing

Ok thanks for the offers I'm going to the weekend in early May am intending to pick the brains of more experienced owners as to the best course of action. Gonna have my trailer on the back for the autoimmune to

I have been offered a 100k 2.5 6cyl turbo diesel from a vauxhall omega which I believe is the same engine as used in the P38 Range Rover. Now I have a 300TDI auto Disco 1 here that is poorly in the engine department but otherwise in good order and this seemed a pottential engine swap that might...

Got a puncture on my disco yesterday and whilst I was changing the wheel over I discovered my front axle is in a bit of a sorry state. Both swivel balls are badly pitted and the front diff has nigh on 30 degrees play at the propshaft flange, no wonder the things been clunking every time you...

That has been driving for economy. Ive always been able to get good mpg out of cars by driving carefully, I try and keep her below 2000rpm at all times

Im interested to see what sort of fuel economy people are getting from their Land Rovers. It would be quite easy to build a resource which will give people an idea as to what there vehicle should be doing to the gallon and may pre-empt a few breakdowns. For this to work we need to know what...

Done the springs on mine not long ago its not hard just be methodical so you don't forget how to put it back together

Okey doke also got an air motor I made at uni that can come as well then and also got some old agricultural equipment

Ive got a spare DAF Variomatic transmission I could bring with me
