Thank you for your very kind offer, but I can get the bits needed from the UK without trouble. I get everything for my Disco by post. But it's what bits I need to buy so that a friend down there could try to get it running again to see how far or what the damage is. She has been ripped off too...

May I please ask for a little advice for my sister-in-law in the Dordogne region of France. Her early 300TDI boiled a couple of days ago on the way to town. She called the local breakdown company who only filled the rad up and told her it was 'okay' to drive, the rad was empty by the way. It...

Thank you all for your replies. Got the pump off this afternoon and it seems that if I blow down the pipe it's leaking across the diaphragm. So a goosed pump,no way to get into it, I'll just wait till I get round to finding one, though my wife now thinks that it would be a good thing to get the...

Good morning, Sorry to have to ask but can't get the thing working. It's not the pipes, all the ends have been checked and no leaks anywhere except at the vac pump under the jack. That pipe is fine and on tight but if I blow or suck on a pipe I can hear air somewhere from the pump. So is...

Possibly a stupid question. But just got round to servicing and checking my 'new' 1998 300TDI that I brought back from England a coupe of weeks ago. Just looked at the auto gearbox oil to find it way too full. Oil and the filter were changed by a dealer just before I got it (should have known...

Thank you. Yes, a Discovery not a Defender. I need it, not only living in isolation but with arthritis driving my wife's 106 is murder... Amps, both/all under the name of Blackcat Electronics.

Hi, Just want to say hello. I live in central France, and if I'm not mistaken quite close to Dave "thebiglad" who offered some advice a few years ago. I'm not new to Land Rovers, I've only just got rid of my 200TDI after 12 or so years, it died and couldn't pass the French MOT, bad and very...
