    dead series 3/disco replacement?

    You have a quandary. I have just bought a '94 300Tdi Auto with 100,000 miles, 80,000 of which were dealer serviced. If that 300 tid you are looking at has dealer service history, that may be a good purchase. If the history is independent garage, then I wouldn't buy it. Dealer services take into...

    Oil light comes on when warm and idling

    Hi Mike, I have a '94 300 Tdi auto, and my oil light NEVER comes on (apart from start-up, of course!). I'd be quite willing to pop across from Bracknell and show the guy my Disco. Perhaps we could look for 'differences' that might show up any modification changes. In any case, I know a bit...

    Replacement CD system

    I had a Sony Xplod fitted by Halfords last month, they supplied the dash control connection leads and I supplied the sub woofer connection lead. I have fully working sub woofer and dash controls, with a really nice CD flip face stereo, all for nothing! :D They originally fitted a mobile...

    Dodgy Speedo

    Buy a satnav unit that has a speed indicator. Like the one I have for sale on Ebay! Plus, you could add the speed camera software!

    Clear front indicator lens?

    Hi All, I'm thinking of fitting those clear front indicator lens to my '94 300 TDi, but am put off by the price. I've seen some on Ebay for £40, but heard they can be gotten from source for half that. Anyone know where 'the source' is, or any other cheaper outlets? :confused: BTW, I have...

    Sterio HELP???????

    All after market stereos come with an inner and outer cage, don't they? Even if the standard Disco stereo is slightly shorter, there is still space behind it. Surely a standard cage would extend back without touching anything? I have a Sony Xplod in mine, and it was fitted by Halfords, with no...

    new boy questions

    Personally, I think that's WAY to much to pay!!! I bought my TDi 300 Auto 1994 (L) for £2750, and that was in immaculate condition, with air con and only 104,000 miles of which 80,000 were serviced by a Land Rover dealer. I've heard it said that a TDi is a tad slow and lethargic when hitched...

    Snow chains for 235 x 70 R16's

    Don't think so, as I would be worried about them being a tad loose. Plus, they are a bit more expensive than the 4x4 chains on the other link that appeared earlier. Thanks though! :)

    Snow chains for 235 x 70 R16's

    Nice, but I need the mpg rather than the envious speed/acceleration! :o Mind you, my 300 TDi is quite quick and does nip along at 80 - 90. The engine is at its quietest at those speeds too. Motorway driving is actually enjoyable. It does have the EGR blanked off, which might account for a...

    Snow chains for 235 x 70 R16's

    Not sure my TDi 300 will DO 100mph! :) It is important though, as I'll have two little ones sitting in the back, so I don't want them to chill too much!

    Snow chains for 235 x 70 R16's

    Well, I'm not going skiing, but going to see the in-laws in the Czech Republic. So, I'll be driving through France (from the Chunnel), Belgium, Holland, Germany and then the Czech Republic. Mostly motorway driving so conditions should be OK, but when I get past Prague, motorways become A/B...

    Snow chains for 235 x 70 R16's

    I agree, it is a reasonable price, especially considering Landrover wanted £300 for a pair! :eek: However, funds are not available just yet.

    Snow chains for 235 x 70 R16's

    Thanks for that Ormus, the standard sizes at £28 don't include mine, but the 4x4 ones do. However, at £74 though it means a bit of saving up to do!

    Got the dash fix done at the weekend.....

    Hi All, Thought I'd show you the dash fix that I had done at the weekend, I'm REALLY impressed! :D The kit cost £38 delivered, and the fitting took an hour. It looks like part of the dash! I think that if you click on the images, they will open up and show better detail.

    Snow chains for 235 x 70 R16's

    Hi All, Well, I'm off to Europe for Xmas, and want to go fully prepared. I have purchased the warning triangle, medical kit, GB plate/beam bender kit and dvd player (I have 2 little kiddies :D), but am also looking for snow chains. Now, here's the rub; my 300 TDi (1994) has 235 x 79 R16's...

    New "USED" vehicle questions, problems before. don't want to go down same road.

    Yes, your first Disco was a lemon. I bought a Disco 1 a month ago, and have just had the head gasket and down pipe replaced (head gasket went and downpipe had a heath robinson bodge repair, so whilst the head was off, thought it'd be a good idea to replace the pipe too). Plus, I had the curly...

    Well, what did he do to sort it and did you get any joy (or recompense) from that nefarious Landrover dealer?
