    Disco 1 Rear shocks britpart or Armstrong?.

    After changing the top bush and lower rubbers on the rear n/s shock 3000 miles ago I find that it has trashed everything I have done so new shocks time.changed all four 70,000 miles ago (britpart) so probably long overdue.as with many people on a very tight budget so it's britpart or Armstrong?.

    300 tdi cooling issue

    Head gasket was my first thought and they can go in many ways I would say your compression gases are getting into the cooling system this would not give you oil in water or steam from the exhaust can be confirmed by a sniffer test.had it on a golf heaters stopped working then a hose burst...

    Disco 1 200TDi exhaust blowing from back of head

    I would advise getting the head checked for warpage while it's off or you will be wasting your time and money.as sparepart says you don't have to use an angle meter as each flat on the bolts are 30 degrees.
