    ECU chip for the 300 TDi EDC controlled Discoverys

    I bought a chip off eBay for £80 soldered it into the ECU myself and it made a huge difference There are gains to be had. The resistor mod is a bit basic and doesn't really do much

    Intercoolers ?

    Not as much as you'd think. If you can imagine a drain pipe full of tennis balls you put a ball in at one end, a ball comes out of the other, not the same ball so you don't have to wait for the ball to run all the way through the pipe. Same sort of thing with an intercooler its already full...

    The main problem with Silverdale is that no one maintains it between play days. So people with mad mud tyres churn it up and cut DEEP ruts but because its just left it gets worse and worse. I made it round on at's just about. The other problem is its quite narrow and people stop on the trail to...

    Intercoolers ?

    An intercooler on its own won't GIVE you anymore power. What it will do is help you to hold on to what ever power you have got due to reducing thermal losses in air temperature. Bolting an intercooler on without adjusting the pump or boost pressure will have little or no affect in everyday...

    Falken Wild Peak

    Just bought a set of these AT tyres for the disco and wondered if anyone had any experience of them? They seem to do OK in the reviews but not really one of the names I've used before. My last disco had Grabber AT2's and they were great but at £250 For a set of 4 brand new I couldn't turn the...

    3 door 300tdi Disco how rare?

    I know that ! I was wondering as a percentage how many were 3door? Cause there were thousands upon thousands of D1's made so if its like say 10% that's a small percentage but still a lot of cars.

    3 door 300tdi Disco how rare?

    I've bought one and just looking around on eBay etc most of the adverts say "rare 3 door" I was just wondering just how rare? I mean we've got a car that there were only ever 200 made so I would say that was rare but if there are like thousands and thousands of them that's not that rare.

Engine running and while you pump the oil in slowly go through all the gears up and back down till it starts coming out of the fill hole ? Was...
