Well back on topic now, I decided to take a chance and managed to do 6 trips to the quarry in the last two days just under 10 tonnes of sand and gravel in fact the total weight of the disco trailer and a load of gravel is about 4.5 tonnes, so it has dragged 27 tonnes up the hill in total, I was...

Hi I am scrapping my Auto discovery TDI300, one thing I have just uninstalled is some push pull hand controls for a disabled driver (Push for Brake pull for accelerator) , My wife does not have feeling in her feet so can only use her hands for driving. Now these are not ones designed for a...

Your right, I will message you.

Hi Yes I know where you mean, if I go to Carcassonne ( do a few airport pickups for friends ) I tend to go via Mazamet, it looks further on the map than taking the St Pons Narbone road but it is much faster, and a few years ago they were doing major work on the main road and diverted us from...

Hi Sorry but I cannot help you there, I used it mainly for a local utility vehicle and hardly used it at night, it always managed to pass the French CT with stickers on the lights so I didn't ever change them from UK RHD ones. Dave

Hi, Yes maybe, although it sounds like I live about the same distance as you from Rob but in the other direction, apart from taking my wife to Castres for Hospital appointments, I don't get that direction very often, probably less after the disco goes as I won't need to visit Rob either as I...

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes I do know rob, in fact I was there last week before this latest noise started, to get a price from him, he has given me a price but is not really very interested, he has lots of parts at the moment, also the auto and it has fly by wire throttle/fuel pump makes it...

Hi I have a Disco TDI300 auto that I am intending to scrap at the end March as it wont pass it's CT (French MOT) but have started to get a loud clunking on tick over, from searching on the internet sounds like it is the Flexplate causing the problem. I have no intention of repairing it, but if I...

Hi Thanks for the reply , in fact just before I read your post, I noticed that the key fob didn't seem to be working very well. I have just changed the battery and the fob appears to be locking and unlocking the car batter so maybe that was it, only time will tell. This must mean that the fob...

Hi I have a starting problem where I turn the key all the usual ignition lights come on, but turning the key further to start and it does nothing, then an additional red warning light comes on with what looks like a picture of a vehicle with a key depicted in the middle, as yet I have not found...

Hi Sorry for not replying earlier, due to family problems the disco has been a low priority. I had already isolated the broken glow plug and a friend has replaced all the fuel line the lift pump and the tank pickup for me in an attempt to isolate the problem, we haven't tried changing the...

Hi Sorry for not replying earlier, due to family problems the disco has been a low priority. I stripped down all the leakoff pipes assembly and cleaned it all, all the pipes were in very good condition and fitted well apart from the long one at the beginning of the chain which I have replaced...

Hi I have had a 1997 Land Rover Discovery 300 Tdi for the last 4 years, most of the time it has been fairly reliable, it drives well has plenty of power (it is quite happy towing a heavy trailer with a ton and a half of sand up quite a steep hill to my house). But about a year ago I started to...
