[R reg 1.8 freelander gearbox.]

..also while reading a few posts here i suppose it could possibly be the IRD,is there any surefire way of diagnosing which box is at fault?

any help aprecciated.

ok..after a lot of forum hopping i reckon its the IRD thats shot,and possibly VCU.

would removing the rearpropshaft make any difference to the horrible banging/scraping noise from the IRD till i can source another?

kinda beginning to regret selling me disco now

[disco1 tdi 200 speedo woes]

hi there, a little help here pls guys!!

my speedo doesnt work,so i disconnected it at the transfer box end,scooshed some wd40 up the sleeve,got the missus to check if the speedo worked as i twiddled me end (ooeer) wich it did..top bombing i thought,so i reconnected it and....nothing...the end seemed square enough so i dont think it was too worn to turn. any ideas where to go for here?

thanks

[disco rear (boot) door woes]

disco handles are renound for getting stuck,

if so WD 40 and a screwdriver frees it up, then keep working it till it works smooth again

JOB'S A FISH

mikey

i second this,had the same problem...pry out the badge,good skoosh of wd,then work the handle...jobs a good 'un!

[dexron 3 equivalent?]

hi-as title...finding it quite difficult to get hold of dexron3 gear oil,is there an alternative gear oil with the same properties?

[lazy 200tdi?]

ah well, if thats the norm-then thats fine

only other little niggle i have is a slight"clonk" when moving off in 1st,seems torque related, ropey clutch or worn props?

[lazy 200tdi?]

Hi there, first post-just bought myself an old disco to knock about in, its clumsy,clunky,leaky and battered...and i love it

apart from leaking like a seive and the crunchy second gear,its in not to bad a shape chasis wise.

ive just come from an e36 325,and i know the disco isnt the fastest thing on four wheels,but i feel its a little sluggish and doesnt seem to want to rev past 3500k...as the rev counter goes to 6k i was wondering if this is normal? the turbo seems ok as i can hear it spooling up around 2.5k... air filter on order as its a bit gunky..and plan to clear the sedimenter in the next couple of days and have changed the fuel filter...any ideas welcomed
