What model you got? On my 300tdi you just grasp the front of the seat and lift it up while pushing the backrest into the side of the car, it should collapse neatly then and you just need to fold the leg support down and bob's your uncle. If you've got a later model than mine though maybe you've...

For £2k I could buy four of the disco I've got in my avatar! But if you only want one it'll leave you with £1500 for fuel/beer/christmas or anything else you want to spend it on.

If it's an R380 box it should have MTF in it as standard, lots of people use ATF and get away with it but it's not right. If I recall correctly the MTF I filled my R380 with was 5w/30, so not that much thinner than engine oil, but engine oil doesn't have the same high pressure resistance as...

Don't listen to him, your engine has a terminal problem and the motor is only fit for scrap. However as your story has touched me somewhat I'm willing to offer you £500 and I'll take the landy off your hands, let me know when you want it picking up. :D

This is a repeat if it's the one I've seen before. Complete waste of time, they need to replace the roof because it's buckled with the heat! They spend about £8k on a motor that is worth £3k tops.

Just thought I'd give you guys an update, have managed to mostly solve the problem. Unfortunately I think I've got a different alarm set up to nicedayforit as the alarm relay was actually soldered onto the circuit board inside the control module. I opened it up and using a test lamp found that...

Thanks very much for that, I'll give that a go. Was hoping that there would be a supply to the hazard switch activated by the alarm that I could just disconnect, however it looks like as you say, the alarm activates the normal hazard flasher circuit so not as simple to tamper with.

Brilliant, I'll look into that. And Discool, I'm no longer using the remote fob as I don't have one, I'm quite happy to keep using the key to lock and unlock the doors, I'd just rather have the central locking working from the key. As far as I can work out the alarm and central locking are two...

Like this? L A N D -- R O V E R Looks pretty much like it I think.

Cheers, exactly what I didn't want to hear :( I'm sure there is a way of separating the alarm and central locking systems, it's just a case of finding out how. As the landy only set me back £500 I'd rather not spend over 10% of its value purely so I can lock it from afar! Looks like I'll have...

I have done, but the indicators flashing for two minutes every time I get in is still annoying!

First off I know this is a common theme but I've done a search and can't find any answers to my particular problem. Basically I was a rather silly sod and managed to lose my 1996 300tdi Disco keys. Key, fob and all disappeared into thin air. As the motor is just an offroad toy and general run...

Almost sounds like you're having to prime the fuel system every time you start the engine. Your problem might be fuel draining back to the tank possibly, if there's a valve that's supposed to prevent this that might be worth checking. Another possibility is you're getting air into your fuel...

Balls! What's gone mate? I'd let you have mine but I kinda need it... C. Davies at Phoenix Metals has got a couple of 300tdi discos in at the moment could be worth giving him a try?

Yeah, I'm sure they're not stop and tails which is why you can get a brake light, or a tail light but not both at the same time :D

And the fact it looks stupid, a car park full of rusty old volkswagens with comedy wide wheels and stretched tyres on stupid cambers just looks daft and isn't safe to drive.

You're fighting a losing battle here I'm afraid, there's no point in attempting to defend the undefendable. The plain old truth is that if someone is not confident enough to perform basic car control procedures such as changing gear, they should either be driving an automatic or not at all. I...

That's not a good gauge of speed as there's a many number of variables that will affect your speed to rev ratio, gearing and tyres being just two of them. the NA engine is not designed to rev high, it produces the most torque low down in the rev range and was created to be a reliable maintenance...

:D I think the consensus is you can drive your diesel however the **** you like as long as you change gears when you're meant to ;)

Good stuff, let me know if you need a hand with anything. Was wondering if I could come and grab those lock-stops and see if the selector unit on your old box will fit on my lt77?
