I have the same problem now and again, if I go through a deep puddle the next time I start the car the light will stay on, and if you switch off and restart it resets itself it must be the speed sensor, are they optical or magnetic on Disco's.

Found out what it was, the last tappet at the rear of the head instead of being 8 thou was about a quarter of an inch, the car drove ok and over 3 mile the tappet opened up to without exageation 1/4 of an inch the locking nut was tight never known of it before readjusted all the tappets runs lovely,and found out that the ERG has allready been blocked, saves me a job.

With reference to funny noise as mentioned in my previouse topic, a popping noise coming back through the air intake, could it be the EGR valve stuck open and exaust gas pumping back into the air intake, I think there is a electronic device with wires, on the pipes coming from the outlet manifold, any help would be appreciated from you experts out there. Regards Tony

Help ! Iwas driving along today when the engine started making a popping noise and a lack of power I took it to the garage and had a good look at it at first it sounded like a inlet manifold leak but on closer inspection the popping noise was coming from the air box, took the lid off and found that instead of sucking all the time there was a force of air coming from the engine into the air inlet could it be a inlet valve slightly jammed open, it starts ok and drives with slightly reduced power, no smoke from the exaust or anything, what is the gap between the valve and the pistons. Its a 95 300TDI auto I only had it a month and done 500 miles since purchased its done 119500 and according to the service history it had a head job and skimmed last year, by the way it didnt over heat or any thing, any comments would be appreciated.

Im quite a big bloke Im 6'4" and have a false left leg, and I have differculty getting my foot under the dash, the question is is there any quick fix to move the seat back a couple of inches over and above the normal adjustment. In the old mini's you could move the seat subframe rearward.

I would get a higher output alternator.

I just looked at the service history for my 95 300 tdi and it said the oil was replaced with semi synthetic 10 40 , but I always use 5 30 fully sythetic previously will it run any better if I put fully synthetic in.

My 95 300tdi is the same fuel gauge always on and cig lighter in acc and ignition on.

no it do'snt have a potensiometer its a cable, I dont think it has a EDC or what ever you call it.

I've had a Disco 95 300 tdi auto for 3 weeks now, what I have noticed is that the throttle pedal seems quite heavy compared with my old car Trooper 3.2 petrol, is this normal.

The spigot bearing hasnt collapsed, or broken has it.

I know that taking the EGR of the engine is common place but is there any side effects blocking it off, what sort of fuel cosumtion can you expect afterwards, and I understand that there is some wires comming from some of them do they go to some kind of ECU.

Got it sorted cd player arrived from ebay, but it didnt work, got worried, borrowed some of those things to release the radio pulled out and found that the cable was not there but found it down the back of the dash plugged it in and jobs a goodun even works with remote controls on the dash.

Today I done my first repair on my 300 tdi, it was to replace the the little round spring that had snapped in the tailgait lock I understand its a common fault. I ordered the part from a guy on ebay £4.50 the spring arrived and in the ad it says complete with instructions, it says undoe the back panel undo three screws and undo some link bars, what a bloody palava it took three and a half hours to complete the job and Iv'e been in the security industry for years and used to repair locks and as a hobby I used to build drag cars, so I'm not without experience. you need three hands and to be able to work pliers with your teeth to do this job, has any one here done this repair, and whats the electronic gizmo on the back of the rear speaker pod.

Hi Im a new Disco owner I would like to say hello to you all, bought it last week 95 300 SE traded a 3.2 Trooper petrol as part payment very pleased with the Disco slow compared with the Trooper but far better on fuel. Just a ew questions about the radio and CD changer firstly, I think the radio is a Phillips it has a square digital readout in the top right of the unit would this be a Phillips, secondly there wasnt a cd player in it so I bought one of Ebay but it hasnt been delivered yet, theres a cable with a multi plug under the passenger seat I thought they were under the drivers seat, are the cd players compatible with all land rover radio's and does the multi plug run every thing speakers included, only my old sony used to have seperate phono leads, and lastly some times when I press the remote volume button on the binacle to turn the volume up it some times changes the station and other times it works fine is this a common fault or am I unique with this problem. Thanks in advance
