    Spring compressors

    Fact is you don't need them, Just repalced all of my springs without compressors, use the bottle jack! I was full time motor trade about 15 years ago, bought Snap On tools when I could, still got all of them because I quickly learnt that if you buy inferior tools you will replace inferior tools...

    Leaking like f%$k!

    Hi So I have spent the last few weeks tracing water leaks, started from the top down, sunroof x 2 out, resealed and adjusted, alpine windows out and sealed, side windows out and sealed, even the rear washer jet but it is still ****ing in! I have all the rear trim out and have now found...

    Bearmach blue Dh springs - info needed

    300tdi removal or blank

    I removed my EGR about 4 weeks ago, came off ok but the amout of gunge that had built up around the entrance to the inlet manifold was leaving only about 60% of the original sized hole, now that I have cleaned it all out and fitted the new parts it runs so much better and you can actually feel...

    Ah, you can't beat a good hammer! ( well you can cos that is what they are for) I worked in a panel shop for 15 years and the two main tools were a big hammer and a little hammer! As trained by Audi and Volkswagen!

    Some pics of my Disco :D

    WOW, Mr Noisey that is a "kick ass" motor. I think that your wagon is what most Disco owners aspire to having if they are up for messing about in the rough stuff! I have just fitted a +2 suspension kit on mine and have some 265/85/16 A/T tyres to go on standard alloys, not a patch on the...

    Water leaks...

    Cheers for the offer but I think I have it under control, I've sorted the sunroof leaks out, one of the hoses had been trapped between the body and front headlining trim/interior light fascia and the sealent had let go from the plastic drain holes. I can now see water coming in from both...

    Newbee on the up!

    Hi there Just thought I would say hi as I am new to this forum. After letting my 1996 Disco 300TDi get into a bit of a state I have decided to take the plunge and sort it out starting from the bottom up, bigger tyres (265/75/16), 2" lift kit, new bushes throughout, bit of pimping here and...

    Water leaks...

    Hi Dave, I cannot offer any help at the moment but have the same problem on my 96 300 TDi, I will be attacking mine next week as I was driving along and the headlining decided to detach itself from its backing which blocked my view out the wind screen, since then the back end has let go aswell...
