    Rear facing baby seat's

    Only seen rear-facing ones for little 'uns, but you can get the same seat type as cheap as £30 from Mothercare which come without a base, but as you can imagine they are a bit of a pain as you have to keep strapping it in and out (unless you want to take baby out of the seat, which kinda defeats...

    Rear facing baby seat's

    Yep, in the same boat as you, albeit baby is overdue now! We went to Toys r Us in Reading, and bought the Graco baby seat (the one that has the carry handle) that has the detachable base. It's similar to the one at Mothercare in price and style, and oddly, both stores only do the one type! So...

    Rust under alpine window seals

    Well, this weekend I spent a couple of hours trying to treat the rust under my alpine windows. It's only affected a few small areas under the seals, and whilst there were no leaks, I thought the bulges under the seals were not aesthetically pleasing :p. So, I scraped the rust out and applied...

    Too much oil in auto transmission

    Hi all, Just got my 300 Tdi Auto back from the service (not Landrover), only to find that it has about 20mm too much oil. I checked the levels 1st thing in the morning, engine on, gear selection in 'P', 2 days after the service (and about 25 miles travelled). I'll get the garage to take the...

    What MPG can you realistically get from a Landy/Disco?

    I haven't had the car long so haven't worked that out up to now. I filled it up, reset the trip meter, and 15 miles after the yellow light came on, it had reached 435 miles, hence the evaluation of 420 miles from a full tank. My tank has a capacity of 19.5 gallons, right? That then makes my mpg...

    What MPG can you realistically get from a Landy/Disco?

    My Tdi 300 Auto ('94) only gets about 420 from a full tank, which seems to be less than most of those I've read on here. :eek: Is that because its an automatic? :confused: Its a bit worrying, especially as it has no EGR fitted (so it should have better performance, right?). The car has only...

    While I'm online.......EGR valve - where is it?

    I don't like being the doubting thomas, but my engine is in the top picture, and Ormus in the bottom picture. If anything, my engine looks like the pipe is going forward and up, whilst the pipe on Ormus's engine looks as though it is going rearwards and down.

    While I'm online.......EGR valve - where is it?

    Thanks Discomania. I guess that now makes the TPS question a moot point. Do you know why the rubber pipework also seems to be different, between the 2 pictures? The pipework seems to route past the washer bottle on my engine, yet it goes up by the bulkhead on the other engine!

    While I'm online.......EGR valve - where is it?

    Well, I have added a photograph below of the inlet manifold as I see it, and correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't it already have the blanking plate fitted? :o http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/attachment.php?attachmentid=821&stc=1&d=1157461519 And, why does this part of the engine bay look so...

    TD5 headlights on my '94 TDi?

    I'll look on Ebay for some clear indicators, unless anyone else here has a better idea where they can be procured?

    Something new regarding the EGR?

    I'm not selling it :eek: , I just wanted to know whether anyone had experience of it! :)

    Something new regarding the EGR?

    Just found this on Ebay, has anyone tried it and does it negate the need to clean out the intercooler, etc? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DISCOVERY-FREELANDER-DEFENDER-LANDROVER-BLACK-SMOKE_W0QQitemZ300022388235QQihZ020QQcategoryZ43120QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    exhaust gas valve on a tdi 300

    OK, now reading more into this - can anyone tell me where the throttle position sensor is? My Haynes manual has a very small diagram that shows me diddly squat, location wise!

    While I'm online.......EGR valve - where is it?

    Thanks Yella Disco, so would the best option be to disconnect the plug and tie-wrap it to a safe place?

    Stupid question, but.......

    My 1994 TDi 300 is a Discovery 2, right? :o I am a tad confused, as I see that the TD5 is detailed as the Discovery 2, too!
