my disco 300tdi 98 reg has got up to 92mph on the flat, it was a dual carriage way, so it was level and not bumpy. Still scared the bejesus outta me. Will do 70mph quite easily at about 2700 rpm.

The acoustic cover shouldn't catch fire, as theyre made from fire retardant rubber. I've got a fairly noisy lump under the hood, but fitting a second hand cover didn't really improve things. Gonna try the tappets and an oil change and see if that helps. What would cause low oil pressure...

Lock all the doors (except the drivers door) whilst inside the vehicle, then get out and lock the drivers door with the key. That arms the alarm for the doors, as said above, but doesn't arm the motion sensors. I had a similar problem with my disco 300tdi 1998 reg, the sensors on the passenger...

What the fook? If I wanna go fast and be modern, then I go out in my Mondeo ST220 (which has now become the wife's car!!) If I wanna go really fast, then I go out on my Kwak ZX6R.....(which is about 2 weeks of the year..when it's not rainin, snowing or anything else!!) If I wanna do...

Hi, I know it's a long shot, but when you did the EGR valve, did you clean out the manifold? It could be the crap in the manifold gettin burned off or restricting the airflow that's causing the black smoke. When I did my EGR, I got a ****load of black gunk out of the manifold, and for a few days...

Hmmm, why did I sign up to LZ? To get helpful advice...yes. To have a bit of banter...yes. To get the **** taken out of me...Of course!! That's why I love this forum.......if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the fookin kitchen! P.S. Haven't laffed so much in...

Don't forget though, to clean out the hose and manifold as they will most likely be full of gunge and tar. That will help a lot in the performance.

Hi Scooby, Its the two bolts that connect the bottom of the EGR valve to the exhaust manifold that you should be trying to remove. Lots of wd40 and a bit of patience is needed. I found an allen key and a bit of long tube over the end gave me enough leverage to get the bolts undone. They'll...

Hiya Scooby, On the EGR Valve, the best thing to do is remove it. You can get blanking kits off Fleabay for less than £20 quid, and there's plenty of stickys on Landyzone to show you how to do the job. Secondly, look at getting a decat downpipe, to remove the catalytic converter. Again, look on...

'mini dave' ????? for a Gaylander Ha... shouldn't that be a 'mincing dave' !! LOL

Hi there, got a 98 Disco GS which only had the indicators and rear lights in the bumper. Got some 200tdi light clusters off fleabay with the lights in and fitted them meself. It's a relatively easy job if your wiring has the six (or seven) pin connectors on them. You'll be able to see as soon as...

I did my EGR valve last month on a 98 Tdi and it only had a gasket then the valve. However there's another post on here about EGR valve that talks about a sandwich plate between the manifold and the valve to stop the valve getting too hot, but I think that's on a Defender engine. Only way to...

Had the same problem with my 300tdi wheel, the rubber had perished and gone manky. Got a leather ES wheel off fleabay and fitted it. Looks the biz and makes the truck feel loads better.

Hi, Just a thought but how old are the tyres? I know this may sound silly, but when I got my 300tdi back in December, it rocked and rolled like crazy. The tyres that were on it at the time were Pirelli Scorpions and were a good few years old. The side walls were starting to crack and perish, so...

Hi, just done my egr valve as well. Had read the post about the snapped bolt, so was a bit nervous at first. I must have been really lucky, cos it all went like clockwork. Took less than 30 mins to do and the disco now feels like a totally different beast, It drives!! Mind you, wouldn't have...

Hi to all you Landyzone guys ('n gals!!), have been visiting the site for a while as a guest ever since I got my 300Tdi before Xmas...just a day too late for the bad weather though!! Used to have an old (1974) Series II SWB Landrover years ago...loved it and wanted to get a Disco back in 2006...
