[Ignition load relay on Disco 1 300 Tdi]

the relay above is the a/c clutch relay,if heater blower is in position 1,2,3,or4 an earth is provided to pin 86 of the relay via the dual pressure switch contacts.the earth circuit can also be interupted by the evaporator temp sensor in the (heater) box if it senses too cold ie ice.hope this helps.

[engine swap]

i live in a teraced house and space is deffinitly at a premium i've just swapped the hub/calliper assemblies and replaced the brake lines its annoying having to do it twice just to keep the doner mobile and legal.3 to 4 weeks for the engine /transmission swap but i'll do that in the garage this back street working is sodding painfull.

[engine swap]

i have got 2 discos 300tdi's i am swapping the engines and gear boxes,(the body and chassis on one is in brilliant condition compared to the other) unfortunatly the rot box has the best engine and gearbox etc, is it worthwhile selling the spare engine and box or is keeping the doner (that spelling do not look right) vehicle for its parts,a better option.

[vented discs 96 disco1]

i'm wanting to replace the front brakes on a 96 300tdi,i've got a pair of vented discs and am wondering how easy/what parts i will need to use/fit these to the vehicle.I am aware that callipers will need to be replaced but with whitch ones,or are the callipers for vented discs the same? regardless of model?

any advice would be greatly appreciated .

I am also planning to swap egine/transmission from two 300 tdi disco's can anyone tell me if i'll get caught out by any thing? I am hoping that it is fairly straight forward,but have been unpleasantly supprised by sods law in the past.Once again help/advice will be appreciated.
