    Urgent 300tdi heater blower fan help please!

    Right, sierrafery - I cannot thank you enough for the clear instructions and help with this. ;):) Fuse good and applying 12v to blue/red does indeed allow relay to click and fan work as it should on all settings. Does the ignition load relay serve anything else as not noticed other failures...

    Urgent 300tdi heater blower fan help please!

    EDITED. OK, plug and relay out - five wires, tested with multimeter and checking for reading with ignition on/off and fan slider on/off: (Regarding the black/orange thick wire to the motor = this is permanent earth). red/white (thick) no reading = from below this must be the +12v feed to...

    Urgent 300tdi heater blower fan help please!

    Cheers guys, I have had a good rummage about in the footwell before posting and had a look at the wiring diagrams etc but still confused - all I can see going into the motor (both in situ and on the diagrams) are red/white and black/orange but both are earths. Anyone who has done it can point...

    Urgent 300tdi heater blower fan help please!

    Hi guys, still flummoxed by this. Is there a really, really simple way to bodge this albeit safely if I just bypass all the resistors and switches by running a simple switched direct (fused) supply? All I really need is to have the blower off or just on at max. If so where do I find + into...

    Thanks Discool - TBH not checked any open circuits yet or relays - all fuses OK.

    Urgent 300tdi heater blower fan help please!

    NOW FIXED - THANKS ALL. Hi guys, always happens at the wrong time - the heater blower fan on my 1998 Disco 300tdi has just packed in. Nothing on any setting, fuses all check out OK. I need to pick up a load of family and ferry them around a bit this week and need a quick bodge short of...

    Disco 1 1998 300tdi - failed MOT rear brake pressure

    I pressure bled through with new fluid this morning and that and the bit of fiddling with the calipers and pads and wahey! I got a pass. Not a huge amount better but enough now to satisfy the examiner. The Disco lives on more borrowed time but at least I've got another year with the old girl...

    Disco 1 1998 300tdi - failed MOT rear brake pressure

    Thanks chaps - understood - will bleed through the whole system with fresh fluid before replacing anything. It's never lost any fluid and everything that should be dry is dry - all pipework appears A1 visually and the one flexy pipe also appears fine (and under pressure).

    Disco 1 1998 300tdi - failed MOT rear brake pressure

    Thanks, that sounds very possible. I guess if the servo, pipes, calipers, pads and discs all appear to be OK then all that is left is the bias valve and master cylinder. I don't want to waste time and money obviously changing both if unnecessary - is it possible to check which may be faulty -...

    Hi - anyone have any more thoughts? :)

    Disco 1 1998 300tdi - failed MOT rear brake pressure

    Update - had both sets of pads out - I put in some thin packers and pressed pedal, then levered back the pistons (repeated again) = both sides and pairs of pistons are moving smoothly all the way in out - pads looked evenly worn, maybe slight glazing so I have cleaned/roughened that off. Discs...

    Disco 1 1998 300tdi - failed MOT rear brake pressure

    Cheers chaps - no-one to push pedal at present but had a good visual - all pipework looks good. Two circuits from MS run to Loockheed valve on NS inner wing - then two circuits to front NS/OS and rear single pipe to T junction on rear diff. Only small section of flexy pipe runs from floor...

    Disco 1 1998 300tdi - failed MOT rear brake pressure

    Just failed - tester thinks it may be compensator valve (?) - failed due to lacking in pressure at rears only. Can anyone enlighten me on this or is there another likely culprit? No signs of pressure loss, pedal firm but sinks on engine start up. Pads all good. Where to start please - rear...

    Hi, I've just had my Landy stolen

    Thanks all. Facebook has thrown up someone who saw it being nicked - get this, towed out by a woman in a van, bloke steering the Landy - all this out of a tiny Lidl car park overlooked through huge glass windows 10 yds away by all in Lidl shopping including us. Guys, I'm not a Facebooker, my...
