The Scottish winter is what I'm worried about. Even with global warming we still get tons of salt on the roads in winter. Before'n'after is a bit far away but I might give the waxoyl a go.

Taking the Disco back isn't an option as I bought it through the internet and it came from a dealer 500 miles away - I live in Aberdeenshire. I think I will touch up the dodgy bits with hammerite and keep an eye on it rather than paint everything underneath. I only want to keep it 3 years but...

Just splashed out on my first new car in 30 years motoring - a TDV6 Disco. I got it over my inspection pit this afternoon and was apalled at the lack of rust proofing. I wouldn't mind if it had decent paint on it but it's already peeling off some of the suspension components and starting to...

The squeak is cured! I replaced the manifold gasket and it was still there. While doing that I noticed black gunge inside the inlet manifold so I suspected a turbo problem. Meanwhile I investigated a vibration which turned out to be a knackered universal joint. I replaced the joint and guess...

My gauge only goes up to 300 psi. Anyway, I have convinced myself that the problem is simply a blown inlet/exhaust gasket. I hope I'm right!

From what I've read on other forums it sounds like it might just be the inlet/exhaust gasket. Aparently they commonly fail on number one cylinder.

I assumed the glow plug hole would be too small but I'll have a look anyway.

My 300Tdi truck cab Defender has developed a squeak! It only happens under acceleration. I dug out my compression tester then realised there wasn't a spark plug hole to stick it in! I removed the fan belt and it still squeaks so it isn't any of the ancillaries. There is an oily patch on the...
