Over the last few months i've noticed a rattle when i start up my 300tdi. When i push the clutch or rev the engine it stops. I thought that it may have been the thrust bearing but i've recently changed the engine (and thrust bearing while it was out) due to another problem but the rattle did...

Cheers Guys. Mine is does not have EDC in that case. No MAF, manual and no fly by wire.

How do you tell is a 300tdi has EDC or not? Need a new throttle cable but not sure which one.

I'm soon to be removing my 300tdi engine. Are there any lifting points on the engine to connect the engine crane to or is it best to use a strop/chain running underneath the engine?

This is my thought exactly. I only do about 3000 miles a year in the disco as it is just my off roader, not my everyday vehicle. Because it is only my off road toy (with a few battle scars) i dont really want to, and can't afford to throw much money at it. Perhaps it's worth a gamble just...

Can rings be done without removing the engine and will just changing ring/valve seals be ok without re-boring etc?

I had the intercooler out recently to give it a clean and although there was a few drops of oil in the pipe, there was not much. Noticed this morning that when i take the oil filler cap off, with the engine running, there does seem to be a bit of pressure coming out if i put my hand over it.

My 96 disco is using oil, about a litre every 150 miles and has been doing so consistantly for the last 500 miles or so (since i got it). It still drives fine and still only smokes when pulling away at low revs or when flooring it (and even then not too badly). It is not leaking any oil on my...

I'd be interested. Saturdays are better for me.

Had a set of 15/31/10.5 BFG M/T's on my Pajero and they are a craking tyre. I ended up changing them for a set of 15/33/12.5 Kuhmo KL71's which were also an excellent tyre and was no more noisy than the BFG's despite the bigger size. I though both had excellent road mannors considering they are...

I'm in Hinckley and know quite a few of the local lanes. I've not had a 4x4 for the last couple of years but I've just bought a Disco 1 just for laning and keen to try it out. If anyone wants to plan a local laning run i'd definatly be up for it (If its a Saturday):). I've heard thats there a...
