An update on the starting problem: my glow plugs were toasted, changed 3 out of 4. Anyone knowing a good howto or video on how to change the last one located next to the AC?

Is it normal that it sounds like that or can I expect a major breakdown soon?

Without doing more than checking the fuel cut off, it started again. Maybe a bad connection. It was cold yesterday morning, around 0 degrees Celsius, dont know if that was part of the problem. I guess Ill wait and see what happens when it gets cold again. But that buzzing sound, is that normal...

My Disco 1 TDI300 didn't want to start this morning so decided to check the fuel cut off solenoid (which turned out to click when disconnecting/connecting cable while ignition was on). I also heard this noise, which seems to come from the side where the fuel lines are (and AC i guess?)...

I'm considering installing a Madman EMS3. They are a little pricey but should hopefully monitor most of what one could think of. Isn't a temperature sensor in the thermostathousing bleed screw a bad location? As its almost the top of the coolant system, so incase of a coolant leakage it wont...

Yes, everything arrived yesterday and only 100 gbp in custom fees 👍 Im going to order some paint today and then I will remove the rear bumper. Need to do some towing first so the work can start maybe next week.

Thanks, contacted them. Maybe the problem for me has been that some sensors have been attached later on because they couldn't find that a engine temp sensor should be fitted in mine.

Yes. I think this is what resto_d1 is referring to also in his reply above "Holes under windscreen corner where inner wing meets bulkhead - this allows dripping down a pillar inner and will rot them out and also soak your carpets. Pull out that seam sealer with a pick and reseal with puraflex or...

Once you pop you cant stop. Removed the plastic over the sills and just had to continue looking into the footweels in the front. Knew the drivers side was bad but found a hole in the passenger side also. But the sills where in better condition than expected, and the A and B posts looked ok, a...

Found this, should be no problem.

Ok, 900 gbp later, and probably vat and tolls on this when it arrives to sweden :oops: But this should include everything I need. Now I just need to wait probably around 2weeks for everything to arrive. Are the plastic that sits on the sills (below the doors) hard to remove? Need to get myself...

Isnt this "included" in this part https://yrmit.co.uk/product/rear-floor-side-panel-lr-discovery-1-rrc/ ? Except this is the whole panel all the way to the side? Found that they had a complete kit for the boot floor with all the parts https://yrmit.co.uk/product/rear-boot-floor-kit-discovery-1/...

These are the parts I'm looking into buying from YRM Dont know if I'm missing anything? Did not find the inner wheel arch from YRM, LR427NS, so will have to order it from somewhere else.

Started reading your Try again thread, came all the way to where you did the near side. I aired the sound proofing material in the footwells a couple of week ago because they where wet, but guess its better to strip them out completely as you say. Do I put something there instead of them or just...

Added some items to the basket on yrmit and was able to select postage to Sweden in the checkout so sure does seem like they ship to Sweden 👍 I guess I can use this in the back https://yrmit.co.uk/product/rear-cross-member-lr-discovery-1/ instead of buying mounts separately and trying to patch...

Doing some rust assessment on my Disco 1 that I now have owned for a couple of months. Dont really know why I'm liking the car more and more the more I drive it, even our dog prefers riding the Disco 1 over our other cars :D So I knew there was some rust when buying the car but didn't really...

Thanks for the long writeup. Never seen the leak tester you linked to before, looks really neat. Will order one of those to do a test. Will check the air separator also 👍 Been driving the car and keeping an eye on the coolant, after a couple of days driving the air seems to have found its way...

Changed waterpump and gaskets. But I think I still have air stuck in the heater because I can hear some bubbling there when I rev the engine. I parked the car uphill and topped it up from the thermostat housing, also ran the engine without the plug on the thermostat housing. The heaters in the...

I haven't had time to replace the pump yet, have all the part ready. Ordered a P-Gasket also and will replace it just to be on the safe side. Only pump I could get hold of in such short notice was a Britpart. Dont know if these are reliable, the seller told me he haven't had any problems with...

Replaced the P-gasket, it had more or less disintegrated. Also checked the waterpump and it looked ok, did only have a new gasket for the pump so replaced it. Put everything together and ofc the waterpump started leaking from the weep hole. The good thing is that I now know how to get everything...
