    7 vehicles and the last one is about to break down

    7 vehicles and the last one is about to break down

    The return pipes to the top of the Tank corrode badly and would leak with a full tank,

    Tips on changing glow plugs

    Random Vacuum Line - Wot?

    Disco 1 Disco 1 200tdi - Rear wiper motor working but not moving.

    There are plastic gears inside the motor they may have stripped but you are unlikely to source parts, Probably easier to get a second hand motor complete,

    Disco 1 Disco 1 200tdi | Brakes not 'Biting'

    First place I would look is the servo as stanleysteamer has said, check you have good vacuum from the vacuum pump and the pipe isn’t leaking, there is a small vacuum pipe that operates the heater recirculating air running from the main vacuum pipe, check it’s in place and not leaking, If you...

    Disco 1 Modern Bio-Diesel corrode rubber ?

    Ethanol can certainly perish certain rubbers/ plastic/cork but yours was probably down to age and the ethanol was the last straw, ethanol is going up to 10% soon for petrol cars and guaranteed to cause mayhem on many older Vehicles,
