If you are able to blow down the expansion tank and blow water out, check the matrix pipes as already said.

Personally I will not buy anything Brit-Part anymore more trouble than there worth, cheaply made trash.

Back of engine you have two possibilities matrix’s pipes split or head gasket . other than that all I can think of is block cracked or core plug

Diesel you will need a new manifold gasket. Take off neg battery terminal 300 tdi take out the bolt securing the dip stick tube to engine and remove, remover clip holding inlet hose, and you may also need to unbolt the EGr pipe which connects to inlet manifold also gaskets, then remove upper...

At the bulkhead end of the engine you have the two small heater matrix pipes connected to the matrix, be careful when you lift the engine out that you don’t bash the matrix pipes that protrude , also when putting it back they can brake then you have another job to do.

I think you will find they are different

I have the 200 tdi and I removed my centre box 1 because it weighs a ton and 2 it chokes the engine, performance is increased because the engine can breathe properly also mpg is slightly better, there is very little difference in sound, bought mine from ebay for around £30 had it two years...

Think gavbriggs has got the measure of the problem, bad earth try cleaning your earth points, the earth strap from body to engine.

Oh dear sorry to read this, a common problem if the car has air conditioning, the condensation pipe sometimes gets kicked and instead of letting the water out it pours inside, it can be found on the n/s passenger side under just under the dash, simply push it back through its hole, your...

Large screw driver or bar, get under there and give the UJs a rattle, front first

V8 doing 10 mpg no that’s not right, maybe on an excessively high mileage engine that just about clapped out. I ran a V8 1989 that was doing 15mpg and that was high mileage after a rebuild 20mpg unless you have a heavy right foot. My guess would be you problem lies with the airflow meter, but...

It sounds to me like clutch slip Because the clutch slips the revs rise, classic sign of clutch slip when engine is labouring

You have pressure in the rocker box, do you also have pressure in the expansion tank, Personally I would plump for head gasket, I have seen LR heads where the gasket has gone but just missed water ways, did one like that about 6 years ago.

Wear in the diffs the clonk is the engine taking up the slack Warn UJs normally create vibration when in motion.

Just take your time and weld it up, make sure that all metal to be welded is spotlessly clean, don’t have your welder turned up to high, do some trial welding on some scrap so you get the feel, it all fit together like a puzzle.

Sorry yes this part no is correct, it appears the suppliers R.I.L Genuine Parts have copied master cylinders incorrectly.

James AEU 1714 is the part that I was supplied and is incorrect.

The discovery 300 clutch master cylinder has a different plunger arm fitting that the 200, the 200 has a hoop to fit the clutch pedal, so change the plunger!!! Tried that the 300 plungers is pressed into the inner sleeve that also holds the seals, so can’t change the plunger.

No If the release arm has holed on the pivot, the clutch pedal will be hard and unmoveable, probably gone to the floor.

1994 2.5 TDI Here’s one for you my clutch master cylinder is knackered, so got onto the net and bought what I was told the correct cylinder part no AEU 1714, it duly arrived and I removed my old cylinder and offered up the new one, but if I fit the new one I can’t get the top off to fill it...
