In 1953, Norm Larsen developed WD-40. He was employed by the Rocket Chemical Company

Stupid money ... Depends on how you define worth it - just another profiteering exercise if you ask me. Not something I'd hand over my money for.

Just thinking out loud, don't know a whole lot about 300Tdi's, learning fast about TD5's, trained on much bigger Diesels a very long time ago before all the electricery - actually at the dawn of electricery control ..

A replacement harness won't break the bank and has to be worth trying, whose harness - OEM or buy cheap buy twice. While doing the harness you can verify that injector 2 is still properly adjusted although the amount it delivers is electronically determined but you might as well while you're in...

Assumed, didn't realise the premium only had one overhead screen just knew the premium had rear dvd.

That's one way but not exactly an accurate way to test the delivery volumes. It could be that the pump isn't closing down to idle properly or quickly enough at higher rpm even though the throttle has been released - do mechanical 300tdi pumps monitor boost pressure? I'd check the throttle...

I'd need to understand more than I do about the injector pump the 300TDi is using. There is no really consistent way to handle certain things like overrun on diesels in cars or trucks - the trick with a diesel is detecting overrun in the first place. Some use mechanical means, some a vacuum...

Then I am doubting here that it is thick / dirty grey smoke more like the blue grey which is a sign of overfuelling - the rack on the injector pump not closing down and flooding the engine so you would be more blue/grey potentially white. I don't know the specifics of the 300TDi injector pump...

Doesn't matter the kind of car, your location isn't changing at a guess, depends how busy your road is - in some areas is isn't legal to work on your car at the side of the road unless there is a legitimate reason, around me they even take a dim view of you doing so on your driveway if it makes...

Discovery ES Premium is what you are looking for ...

A good TD5 if you can get, 300TDi if the mechanical type - search for injector 4 issues .. The p38 is a sound looking car don't get me wrong, I had so much trouble with mine I swore I'd never drive a landrover product again. I didn't cheat on maintenance but it didn't help. When they are...

Actually you could find it. If you send a letter to the DVLA explaining your reasons with a specific form they will 'potentially' tell you the registered keepers details. Can't remember the form number but I did it for tracking down my mothers old car (sadly long disappeared along with the...

Thats a lot of money though for something that I believe should be done every two years. They wanted £850 when I called them. Basically don't bother for a few years and just buy a new galvanised chassis with what you save.

If it had been scrapped it wouldn't necessarily show up - but it says the SORN is due to expire so that means it has been SORN'd and is known to the DVLA this year. If you break a car up you technically break the law since this isn't allowed any more - it has to be done by an approved recycler...

Sir - did you know there are 10 dead cyclists outside your house, that's tragic - I know I ran out of bullets.

I have read a lot of 'never again' type posts when others are let loose ... pretty much why I am resigned to doing a job I passionately detest. Unfortunately I didn't have the Disco in the 'summer' so it may have to wait till next year, I am not a lover of outdoor activities in the cold, dark...

For it to be only diesel related I'd expect black or sometimes white, never grey smoke. Black = too much fuel too little air Blue / Grey = too much fuel sufficient air Black / Grey = Lot of Oil Blue = Traces of Oil White = Unburnt fuel

Thick grey smoke after overrun is oil burning, likely drawn in from the turbo bearing perhaps. It's hard to say exactly where the oil is from - bores / valves / Turbo since I don't know the condition of filters etc etc. Grey smoke is ALWAYS oil .... Bet the smoke looks like this >> Smoke

Before I push the button on buying a new one from Watling anyone have a 'pusher' tow bar (a towbar for the front.) for a facelift Disco 2 that they want to lose. See here >> Towbars, Front push tow bars, towing brackets specialists from Watling Engineers | Front Push Towbars

Looking for a good condition interior trim for the drivers door in black with the alcantara 'leather' insert. Must be in good condition - no holes or damage - a bit grubby I can deal with. Don't necessarily need all the parts just the larger part with the Alcantara insert. Just in case anyone...
