Hi All, My 300 tdi key fob is causing me yet more greif. It will unlock if pointed at rear off side window, but will not lock. I'm off to france in a month and don't want it packing up there!! I changed battery with no improvement. 2 questions....... Can I have the fobs re-conditioned and does...

yeah, I guess I'll stick with them. Now for the har bit...... paying for them :mad:

Hi all I have goodyear HP all round on my disco and been impressed with their performance, however, one front one now has a split in between the tread about 1.5" long, so tyre is shagged ( 3mm tread left). The other front looks a bit perrished only in between the treads (2.5mm tread left). They...

The kind that does not freeze :rolleyes:

A lot of disco's suffer failure of the spider unit. It is a junction box in the alarm imobiliser system. Its not hard to fix, just means taking out the middle section of dash ( radio, cup holders etc) I did mine last year but just soldered up the dry joints in the unit. Do a search on this forum...

My alternator failed recently which discharged the battery. The central locking would not work so i opened door with key. When I got in, there was a chattering noise from relay under dash and the alarm was beeping intermittantly. Maybe you have a bad earth to the alarm system? Just a thought.

Hi All 300tdi's originally fitted with viscous fan. the hotter the engine the faster the fan turns. I took mine off and fitted an electric fan. Engine heats up quicker and also get slightly better MPG as the engine not turning fan all the time.

Hi Does the by-pass by-pass the whole alarm and imobiliser? if so, can you still use the key fob to open the doors, or can you only use the key? I would prefere to do this then fit my own alarm and imobiliser. Is this possible?? Cheers again Andy

Hi all My 2 button remote fob is a bit temprimental on my 1996 300tdi disco Is there a way to bypass the imobiliser in the event of the remote packing up all together? :confused: I had the spider unit out last year to soldered up a dry joint which fixed my no starting problems, but i have...

Hi, There is a rubber hose connecting the fuel filler pipe to the tank. It is only held on with jubilee clips. Undo the clips, remove the rubber pipe and stick a bit of hose straight into the tank and syphon. You will get all bar the last couple of litres out. Remember when syphoning.... Spit...

s12aun, Mate of mine had a scrapeing or rubbing noise from steering wheel, and it turned out to be the pick-up ring for the horn. The brushes were dirty and were scratching the horn ring. Hope this helps and makes sence!!

Hi Slither I have just fitter heavy duty springs to my disco 300tdi what a difference. I was a bit concerned it would make the ride realy rarsh, but it is fine. It handles much better, rolls less and feels much more stable when towing. I fitted the britpart yellow springs and uprated shocks. We...

As I remember there are just another few sunken bolts in the housing to remove and the thing will come off. You dont need to remove timing belt or anything major. I cleaned the housing and the block before fitting the gasket with a little Hylomar jointing compound and it has been fine since. I...

Yes mate, but the 2-wheeled type CBR600. A bit quicker than the landy but not much room for the child seats and it aint as good for towing the caravan!!

Hi All Names Andy, Had a series3 with Perkins 2.0td but couldnt get a baby seat in it :mad: Now got a 300TDI disco Love it Great site cheers

Hi Beni I had to change my water pump last year. There is a gasket behind the housing that the pump bolts onto. It is known as the "P" gasket. I got a new one from dealer with new bolts. You are not alone, I forgot to change the P gasket when I did the pump, then had to take the pump off again 2...
