    300 TDI Vibration

    Arrrrrggghhhh! Spoke too soon!!! A grumbling noise has now appeared after just a few miles, so I have today changed the other u.j on the front prop, but alas no better. Vibration has gone but a grumbling sound is still there under acceleration load. I am now wondering if I damaged the new...

    300 TDI Vibration

    Fitted the new u.j. today and it runs like a dream (no more feeling like being in a jumbo jet taking off down the runway). Thanks for your help:) Now its just the anti-roll bar bushes and links to do, oh and sort those front fog lights out that dont work, although they look a bit rusty and...

    300 TDI Vibration

    Thanks for the link, I have printed the pics off and will crack on with it as soon as the u.j. links arrive. I have already printed off the process from the rave cd but there is nothing quite like following the step by step process from someone elses photos.

    300 TDI Vibration

    Thanks Paul D, I have been underneath it today and the u.j. to the rear of the front prop has lots of vertical movement in it and looks as though it is shot. I already have one on order and will get another ordered up today. Just coincidence that it decided to let go on the way back from...

    300 TDI Vibration

    runnin on oil

    I've only had my disco for about a Month and I suppose I am a bit unsure on how she would run on a higher ratio. I suppose you could say I was breaking her in gently, but reading other posts on here it seems that I don't need to worry about upping the ratio.

    Whats happening with my rear electric windows?

    Thanks for your help. This afternoon I followed all your advice and found what seems to be a bad solder joint on one of the relays on the circuit board. I resoldered all the surrounding joints and fingers crossed so far it seems to work. Only time will tell if I have done a good job. Many...

    Whats happening with my rear electric windows?

    Hi all, Just firstly I would like to thank all previous posters on this forum which advice I have read through and saved myself a fortune. Now for my question.... Just got myself a 300 TDI Disco a few weeks ago (after I finally binned my troublesome Freelander) and noticed that the rear...
