My pall got the gearbox out yesterday and we took the transfer pinion gear out to get to the end of the main shaft. There is a fair bit of play in the end of the main shaft and when you turn the input shaft you can feel grinding, so it looks like the main shaft has sheared. So he is now after a...

It’s going into hi no problem but won’t go into lo but I suspect that’s just because the transfer box isn’t getting spun up I never tried going into gears without using the clutch, I suppose I still expect it to grind a gear but I did engage every gear and release the clutch.

Hi, I’m posting here for a friend as he is not really pc friendly. Anyway, I got a call from him last night saying he has a problem with his disco 300tdi, as he reversed into his girlfriend’s drive there was a clunk and the car wouldn’t move. I told him to try diff lock but still nothing, the...

I searched and found a post with a link to the Maplin actuator's. What's wrong with the ecu? All doors lock but some are slow to open and the drivers won't open at all with the remote.

So its just the back ones then? I might get one anyway as one of the back doors seemed to be struggling.

My drivers door lock is not opening on my td5, can anyone tell me will the Maplin two wire motor do or do I need a motor with a switch since its the drivers door. I am going by Maplin today but don't have time to take the door card off and look. Cheers

Found this on eBay Discovery 2 fitting kit to fit alloy wheels from Range Rover Sport | eBay so that's me sorted then Cheers

Hi, just got myself a Disco 2 td5 and also picked op a set of Range Rover Sport 19” alloys. Can anyone tell me what spigot rings and wheel nuts I need? And where to get them? I’m hoping to get them on for a trip next weekend. Cheers Ian

I am interested in your discovery. I have PM'd you my contact details Cheers Ian

Hi, guys I have decided to get myself a TD5 to go on holiday in a couple of weeks as I have no chance of getting my 300tdi welded up in time but am struggling to find a good one. I have been out to a couple which sounded good but one needed a new front hub and clutch and the other was...

I don’t mind knocking it up for you when I get the chance if I have the parts, I should have most bits but I am not sure about the 500 ohm variable resistor and I doubt I will have a normally closed push switch but you should be able to get the switches from Maplin or eBay pretty easily. I...

I read on the rover forum about applying a simple resistor circuit to the MAP or MAF sensors to trick the ecu into delivering more fuel, I think the gains were limited and mostly in the mid range as you were only moving further up the ecu’s map not extending the map any further. I think...

Is there a map sensor on a 300tdi edc?

The cable/connector numbers could be different on the Land Rover from the ones in my link so a bit of detective work might be needed to get the right ones, you will either have to find them documented somewhere or work it out. I didn’t know if my BMW was the same or not so I just tested for...

Yes it’s for the fly by wire throttle, Bosch VP37 injection pump as fitted to 300TDi Auto, RR P38 with BMW engine, BMW 318, 325 & 525 td/tds, various rover and MG and some VW TDI’s. Google “EVRY MOD”, there are massive threads on the VW and Rover forums about it As its adjustable there is...

I can’t open the link as I am at work right now but I wouldn’t go spending much on any tuning box or chip for the 300tdi edc. There is a simple mod you can do for pennies to increase power. You only need to connect a 1Kohm resistor across two wires in the loom to the fuel pump which will trick...

EGR blank is on my to do list for the 300 once I have replaced the sills. I have an exhaust gas temperature probe to fit in to the banking plate so I can keep an eye on the temps when I tweak the pump. Rather than use a simple gauge for the EGT probe I have a PID temperature controller which I...

Profile updated.

I don't have an anti roll bar on the back and its been fine without it since I got it. As my palls disco is on my big axle stands and the little fold up ones I have are not big enough I was just using a trolley jack so I didn't want to crawl around underneath with a pry bar and I could only...

The other week I hered a loud noise from the rear of my disco which sounded like a spring breaking. I had a look round and the car was leaning to one side at the rear so I assumed it was a spring and gingerly drove home. The car rolled realy badly on left turns but was fine on right turns and...
