    Selling my 300TDi disco 1. Car is running / driving but needs some TLC. Currently has an MOT but it wont get through another one, although current MOT is until Jan next year. Current issues that I know about are : Sunroofs leak. I have covered them over in clear vinyl which helps massively...

    Afternoon all. Apologies if this has been asked before, but im after some new boots for my 300TDi. Im thinking the AT route is the way to go, my driving is mostly on road however, I do venture up over farmland when there's a motorcycle trial on (and being in the landrover, I always get the...

    Disco 300TDi, odd vibration and lumpy revving at 1500-1800 rpm

    Not that i know of, but then they wouldn't cause it to not rev (which is why I'm thinking injector pump...?) Isn't 1600rpm the engine speed that the pump does something to bring the turbo in, or increase fuel somewhere.?

    Oh, forgot to add - did an oil and filter change the weekend, all OK - checked gearbox fluid level, full.

    Disco 300TDi, odd vibration and lumpy revving at 1500-1800 rpm

    Evening all. Got a real strange problem with my D1 300Tdi. Its been an awesome tool, never let me down and still carry on going but she's unwell. I run a 50/50 veg oil / derv mix. Never had any problems with it, however this problem is there on diesel and veg. In neutral, in gear, driving...

    Starting woes.. glowplug inline fuse??

    Deffo sounds like fuel run back to me, it happened on my 300TDi. It was down to leaky leak off pipes, once she fired in the morning it was fine all day. Leave it over night and you had to crank all the fuel back up in the morning. If you have that, coupled with a weak lift pump then it...

    Biodiesel Newbie quick question!

    Looks fine to me. I wish i could get that at £12.99 a box. Its normally £20

    Biodiesel Newbie quick question!

    My guess is its heavy on palm oil, rather than proper veg/rapeseed at that price. Possibly gummed up in the injector pipes or something like that. Send me a photo of the box / can.

    Cooking oil - fuel

    Besides... who would know ;) The reason they say that is as they have to make some ruling about it. The truth is, it would cost waaaay to much to police it so, carry on. I got pulled by VOSA loads in my old transit, each time i left her running. They took one sniff at the back and said... "on...

    Cooking oil - fuel

    Never ever done that. Ran a mk5 transit for years on WVO and never had an injector problem. Running my 300TDi now on blend, and so far so good. I have a system for filtering WVO that I have developed over the years. If you can get some WVO (thats the hardest bit) and you need a hand...
