Thanks Cavey. Reposted in 300tdi.

Looking for a little guidance, I was checking my 1997 disco 300tdi and found a leak on the leak off pipe banjo connector, metal pipe, I got a replacement and connected all the new leak off nozzles only one snapped off when I was tightening it. I thought I might have to take the injector out to...

Can anyone tell me what the lever on the side of my 1998 disco 300tdi injection pump is for? A springed arm off the throttle arm goes thru it as can be seen in the picture. I did have an EGR valve but that has been removed and blanked off. The top end of the pump was off to replace the body seal...

I ordered a replacement lift pump for my 1998 300tdi disco, when it arrived it has the pipes that require 8mm olives while the one currently fitted has the threaded ports. All listings put my 1998 disco as having the pump with the pipes on it so why does the current one have the threaded ports...

It was the yellow relay

Got to the bottom of the problem, apparently the 1998 discovery has a dim dipped relay in the passenger side footwell which when you put the side lights on the dipped beam comes on be it on a dimmed light, well this relay had failed. I replaced it with a normal relay which gives me back...

Woke up this morning to find my dipped headlights on, went out to switch them off and found that the lights were switched off, rear lights are off just dipped on so had to disconnect battery. Heard its possible to disconnect a relay which may be faulty and everything should be ok as its not...

I got it sorted, the throttle spindle wasn't attached to its mating part in the injection pump properly, wagon now running fine. Thank s for the help.

Yes turning over OK, was wondering if I may have connected the pipes at the fuel sender the wrong way round one is larger than the other, which one is the return to tank? Also think it may be the lift pump has just packed in

I recently had an mot failure on my 1998 300tdi disco the usual tin rot which has been sorted I may add that the fuel tank had to be removed to weld the rear x member, then a fuel leak at the injection pump leaking at the body which again has been fixed, only thing is when I tried to start the...

Thanks for the info guys. That was what I thought would happen, just needed it confirmed will get the right size to keep speed and height respectable Cheers guys

The 195 80 15 tyres will be on 15" rims so to make it clear I will have 2 sets of wheels First set will be 7.50 16" (16"rims) currently on landy, other set will be 195 80 15" (15" rims

I have been offered 195 80 15 tyres for my 200tdi series 3 are there any major disadvantages to using this size? I currently have 7.50 16 on,to be used for off road or in the snow the 195 would be used for good weather on the road. cheers

I would be a little apprehensive about running a 200tdi engine without an oil cooler especially as I had to remove the viscous fan. i would be quite happy to fit a stand alone oil cooler but wouldnt know what the optimal size would be. has anyone fitted an oil cooler with series 3 Rad if so...

Hi all, Looking for a little help, I have just converted my 1979 series 3 swb to a 200tdi with turbo. The 200tdi is from a discovery 1 and the radiator has seen better days, but the series radiator is in very good nick, and would like to use it but obviously doesn't have an oil cooler can...

How far forward do you reckon you can move the engine forward fabricating adapter brackets? Power steering isn`t a deal breaker for me, whilst changing over the engines if there is cutting to be done to fit PAS then I`ll leave it as it is. It would be good to get the Lt77 in but a straight...

Thanks for the replys. I have measured the engine mounts to prop shaft at hand brake drum on disco 1 and series 3 and found that if fitted the disco 1 handbrake drum will snag up at the rear most cross member and a very short rear prop about 8" if that, I`m not going to butcher a galvanized...

So am I right in thinking I cant use the disco 1 lt77 gear box? or has some one done it previously?

I have a 1979 series 3 88" station wagon with galvanised chassis and have acquired a discovery 1 200tdi rolling chassis c/w withe all the props diff and axles, 200tdi and gearbox. Is it possible to convert the series to use the 200 tdi and gear box? obviously I dont want to touch the chassis...
