Will a diagnostic identify an injector fault and point out which one? Would be expensive to try and guess.

Hi that looks just like the one I have fitted on mine. Have you got the 2 mounting brackets with it? First you need to remove the plastic splash guard under the bumper, I had to loosen my anti roll bar to wiggle it out of the way. Then you can look up and see the bumper mountings. The brackets...

Hi all, 2001 D2 TD5 suffering from occasional misfire under load. Typical situation will be going onto full throttle to climb a hill. One misfire then it goes normally. It only happens under load at 2500-3000 rpm. Having read lots of posts I have: 1. Checked the injector harness. No oil but...

For all those struggling as I did to refit the A pillar trims, here is the easy way: There are 3 metal spring clips that hold the trim to the a pillar. When you remove the trim these will probably remain attached to the A pillar. Remove them and refit them to the lugs inside the trim first...

Add to that eyeballs on stalks and a couple of extra wrist joints! Can it be accessed from above taking off the centre console?

I also have a diff lock that won't engage. The lever moves freely left and right and engages hi/lo ratios. I crawled underneath this afternoon and fired wd40 all over the linkages but still haven't made progress. The problem is that lying underneath I can't see much at all to work on it. One...

For reference for members reading this in the future mine was doing the same and it has been diagnosed as the mass airflow sensor

Hi does anyone have a mounting plate for the 300tdi (1997) Discovery 1 they could sell me? Mine is completely broken. Thanks, Chris

Latest update: I decided to tackle the non-functional CD changer under the drivers seat, partially intrigued by the magazine full of CDs stuck inside it. I had to remove the plastic seat base cover which was pretty straightforward once I got the screws shifted. Then on lifting the carpet I...

I feel like I've achieved a lot this week: derusted the sills and centre chassis, sealed the sunroofs and cleaned the headlining, stopped the rev counter from bouncing, oil change, got the wheel nuts and knackered locking nuts off (thanks Uncle Derek). And I couldn't have done it without the...

Hi marccleave, Lytchett Matravers myself, and you?

Hi 34064, yes I'll join the DLRC, I think their next meeting is early August so I will aim to come along for it. What time do they meet?

That's exactly what I did Spacedawg. Maybe it doesn't like Box.com images :confused:

Thanks for the advice - off shopping for some tools shortly. I've managed to order 10 spare wheel nuts from fleabay to replace the damaged bolts. Getting the rusty locking nuts off without a key is another challenge, especially if they're tight as the standard ones. Watch this space...

How do I get photos to embed?

I bit the bullet last week and bought a 1997 Disco 1 2.5 diesel in gold with 192k on the clock. What sold it was the new MOT and price agreed of £800. What a lot of car for so little cash! A good check over showed very little serious rust underneath, even though the bodywork was bubbling on...

Excellent, thanks now I know what I'm looking for :)

Thanks jamesmartin, I'll have a look underneath tomorrow to see if I can locate the cable and actuator adjuster. Don't suppose you or anyone else has any photos of the bit to adjust?

Hi, I have the same problem so please could someone post a bit more detail on adjustment - from above or below? How to get the cable tension right, etc. Thanks

Well I bit the bullet and bought a 98 R plate Discovery 1 today. I chose it because it's pretty solid and fairly rust free below, even though the bodywork is showing a fair amount of blistering around the edges. It's also just been MOT'd so it's got a year of use at least. Tomorrow oil/filter...
