hi Rob i had grey eight spoke on my disco although as i wanted to fill my arches i fitted 31-10.50x 15" in place of my 205x16 (which looked very wierd) plus no need for extended aches to be fitted and they more than filled the arches up and the only mod i did was to use hd standard hieght springs and gas shocks which were being replaced any way ps. only rubbed on rear arches on heavy articulation. Roy

hello i want to replace the fuel sedimentor on my discovery its a 1994 m 300 tdi does anyone have the part number for the complete thing as i have been told this is easier than cleaning it out, as i have a problem with pulling off it just seems to want to die out unless i give it some rev's seem's worst on first starting thanks Roy

hello disco_al i just bought the standard rear box and a straight through middle in mild steel for around £50 delivered next day and it comes with a exhaust clamp i'm well pleased with the performance hope this is of some help Roy

hi to all lights now done and appear to be ok, the method i used was to run an earth to the lamps fixing bolts on each one,then run a positive from each lamp to the inner wing near the battery to a 15 amp block connector then linked all 4 together and then a wire to the 30 amp relay(which has a built in 30 amp blade fuse) earthed relay to the inner wing and connected the relay to the main beam feed on one side and as i said they work ok but looking at the spots head on the one nearest the battery seems a bit brighter or maybe its just me. again thanks to all that gave me info as always just great people Roy.

thanks again will go and get the bits i need 15 amp connectors/12 v relay and a 20 amp in line fuse will keep you posted Roy.

thanks karlo so i take it the in line fuse @20 amps is ok and will connectors of 15 amps be ok Roy

hi thanks for the info, just wondering i want to use proper connectors so which should i use and what amp rating have seen different one's at the motor shop ie spade/bullet and a piggy back spade one rated @15amps or can i just solder the joints many thanks Roy

hello to one and all (1) i have just installed 4 x 55 watt spots to my 1994 300 tdi disco and i have had mixed answers as to what i need ie. wire size what fuse/relay ratings as i want them to come on with mainbeam but have a switch to turn them off on the dash (2) does anyone know the part numbers for a on/off switch suitable for the spotlight (maybe with warning light on it) that would fit in the spaces under the clock as there is room for 3 or 4 as i want to use landrover ones any help will be welcome Roy

thank's for the advice now got it sorted, much better now Roy

hello to all Q1 . looking to upgrade from my radio/cassette to a cd player, i have a 300tdi disco with with radio controls on the facia behind the steering wheel question is can i still use these with an after market unit or can i just not connect them up ? Q2. one of my headlamp washers has been broken off ,as they never worked can i just remove the last one and block the pipe off at the tee piece behind the valance ? thanks

Hi thanks to all that replied to my question, also will he have to use the 90's speedo drive or will the disco's be ok as he is worried the speedo won't read correct thanks

hi to everyone just a couple of questions on behalf of a mate, 1) is a transfer box from a disco (200/300) a direct fit on to a 1991 (h) 200 tdi defender if not what's involved i.e linkages/speedo and can i just swap the bits from one to the other ? 2) are the injector pumps the same on a 90 and a disco ? any help welcome Roy

hi there allegedly my glove box door was held up with wire when i got it, i just used evo stick and 2 small self taping screws and took about 1/2 hour to do discosfa

hi everyone just need some advice before i spend some money i have a 94 300tdi disco ,in the last few days i have noticed that when i apply my brakes the front passenger wheel sometimes locks up and the brake pedal has a slight pulsing feeling ( i suspect maybe a warped disc but not sure) but some advice is most welcome. Q2 i think my disco has a imobiliser(checked set alarm off and turned the key and nothing happened ) but i have no paper work to say that i have one fitted, how can i get proof for my insurance company can i just go to a garage or do i have to go to a specialist alarm fitter or maybe lr dealer and pay a small fortune. thanks.

hi there can you open the rear door as this happened to mine, i used wd40 then pushed the door at the same time as pulling on the handle once open spray all of the catch inside of the door i hope this is of some help Roy

and the same to you rocky discosfa.

hi there mine did not budge so i used a nut splitter 10 mins per side (machine mart £10- £15 for 2 sizes), then clean up the threads added a bit of copper grease and got a couple of nuts from a landrover parts shop ( i used landrangers in stoke on trent ) but any others will have some hope this helps Roy

hi there either 17 mm or 19mm which Roy

hi les parts are £36 per side for a complete kit from a place called beamends lr spares (which is next door to the garage handy or what) plus a loverly pub lunch just down the road "lol"

hi and thanks to all that replied to my questions on the way to work today i noticed a slight vibration from the steering wheel from about 20 mph got worse the faster i went (so i stayed below 35 mph) and whilst going up hill it got really bad have spocken to a garage and they say its the cv's and would do them for a max of £65 -£70 + parts . is it worth having both sides done as i did try and remove the swivel filler plug but short of heating it up it was not going to budge, is this a reasonable price for the work involved thanks Roy.
