    Discovery 300TDi - Loss Of Power

    Injectors can fail for a number of reasons. My Disco was running OK, just the odd puff of black smoke when accelerating hard, it had recently just passed the MOT, flew through on emissions, but as we're going to France at the end of the month green laning (Mudplug tours. - been with them...

    Discovery 300TDi - Loss Of Power

    I live near Chorley Lancs, there's a place there called "Chorley Euro Diesel" but I do know the guys there, so did get them done at discount. They test them and if nedded they'll strip and clean them, fit new tips etc & whatever they need. If you're going to take them out yourself, if they've...

    Discovery 300TDi - Loss Of Power

    This could be a multitude of things. Start off with the easy ones first. Clean out the sedimenter, that's found over the top of the rear axle, drivers side, often gets forgotten about and fills up with water & crud. then change the fuel filter. *Note: for both of these, to save having to...

    Clutch master cylinder

    Bleed it in the old fashioned way, one person press the pedal smoothly whilst another person opens the bleed nipple, close the nipple and let the pedal up, do this until no air comes out of the bleed nipple. If you're still having problems after that there is another little dodge that will make...

    Tow Rope

    Not like that! when you pull on it, it will in effect tighten up and try to pull the mountings on the steering guard towards each other. borrow a bridle first.

    Discovery rear storage

    I've done it for off-roading. First of all taken out the side seats, but remember that you need to get to the rear of your tail lights should you need to change a bulb sometime. We made it with 3 compartments underneath, but based around the trolley jack that fits into the middle one. spares...

    Discovery tows a train

    Our guys regularly tow loaded artics from motorway live lanes to the H/S using the newer Disco's, they won't try it with the Jap 4x4's

    My MOT fail with pics.. welding advice please

    I did it all with the mig. The preparation, ie getting ALL the old member & accompanying weld off makes it easier, that's why you can see an array of different grinders. I would believe that arc welding around the top could be easier, but I'm crap with the stick (or haven't got the right rods!)...

    My MOT fail with pics.. welding advice please

    It's a bit of a job, I did both sides of mine, the worst bit is welding around the top where the new outrigger goes over the top of the chassis, one side (drivers, I think?) is harder than the other, but can be done by someone who can weld. At the end of the day, a replaced outrigger looks...

    disco rear storage

    On the face of it, it's a good idea but you'll find that the plastic boxes go brittle after a while and break, not to mention that the lids become a nuisance when you're getting stuff out etc. better off using B7Q tool bags or similar for the tools etc, and smaller plastic boxes for small...

    disco rear storage

    you can always bolt it through the boot floor if you want to, although I've not had any problems with it, mind you, it does fit like a glove, and was put together in place. the stuff on top does get extra toggy straps to tie it down, but i've been using the spade in the snow recently. I'm...

    disco rear storage

    Make your own to suite just how you want to store stuff. but remember, you do need to be able to get at the rear of the light clusters! (I removed the 2 little seats)

    Front recovery?

    for each mounting, you'll use the 2 bolts that already fix the bumper on, they're plenty long enough. Tip: Make sure you give the ends of these a good squirt of penitrating oil or WD40 before you undo them. They fasten into captive nuts that are held in place with a bit if tin (which rusts...

    Front recovery?

    They are fine, they're very much like if not another version of the military ones, which are available from one of the big Landrover toys places (Can't remeber who it is at moment!)

    Mig Gas!!!

    Or alternatively the guys that fill the drinks m/c up at work, if it has cold fizzy drinks on the menue. costs me £10 a change, full bottle for empty one.

    Lifting a disco and polly bush`s

    I have a Disco with 2" lift and big tyres, it had both anti-roll bars removed, and was like driving a jelly on ice at motorway speeds. After rebushing everything with poly bushes it was a little better, but still felt like a yacht in a stiff wing when cornering on normal roads, so I refitted the...

    Why my landie didn't move off the drive on saturday

    I even know the car, and the driver! or it could have been his father if he was doing something else.

    pressing bushes

    Well I've just done both radius arms and link bar on my Disco no problem, you will however find it easier if you saw through the outer metal part of the bush in 2 places around 90º to each other. the biggest problem is not sawing into the main casting too much. (Yes, the black smoke from...

    pressing bushes

    To remove them is easy, burn the rubber out, the inner metal sleeve will easily push out once the rubber gets hot, then as said before, hacksaw through the outer metal sleeve, this will alow it to be easily drifted out. also as already mentioned, fit the medium hardness polybushes, they just...
