yes done that & in park while cold, just confused with the reading on the stick John

Hello all long story so I'll cut it short, after a front prop snapping at 60mph & flattening the dip sick tube to the side of the bellhousing I had to take it off as I couldn't get the stick out to check the level, anyhow last night I cut the flat section out & welded a new piece in, had to weld the stick back toegther as well as I had cut through that as well . problem I have is I drained the sump & only got 5 ltrs out, re-filled with the same & its measuring above the two little hole marks, does anyone know how much fluid would be left in the torque converter ? Thanks in advance John

well i took the heater system off & Now runs soooo much better, can even change down at 70mph now, filers were blocked solid John

thats the same sort of heater on mine less the 2nd tank & 2nd filter, shall be taking it all off over the weekend & see if it runs any better. John

now thats very interesting, I have just bought a 300tdi that the previous owner has fitted just prior to selling & I'm having power loss problems so will be removing over the weekend & changing filter etc. John

got scared now so left it where it is out the back while I get the wheels sorted, dont need any more problems thanks all for the advise John

Dont like the sound of that, wifey winds me up without anything else starting Plan B then :- try to get 2 done at same time, or will that still cause a problem ? John

only daft if you dont know the answer at the moment I have a set of 31's fitted on my disco & will be changing them for 33's, what I am doing is stripping the 8 layers of paint off wheels 1 at a time so if I was to put a 33 & a 31 on the same axle at the same time what if any damage would be caused ?, will only be driving upto a max of 1 mile. Thanks in advance John

mine & a [palsh done exacly that & they were both the head gasket that had perished in that area, proberbley get shot down for saying this but all we done was change the gasket on both without skimming the head & mine ran fine for 18 month before I broke it for spares & sold the engine to a guy in Holland & last I heard it was running fine, My pal is still using his everey day without any issues. John

Most ECU's (not to sure ref LR) will allow upto 5 airbags to be deployed before needing replacing, here we only fit the items deployed unless method manuals from Thatcham tell us to replace other aprts ie: sensors etc, we then take the vehicle to our local specialist who will plug in & reset, had a look on Thatcham website but no data for a disco of that age. hope that helps John

And be very carefull not to snap the pipes when trying to undo them, ask me how I know

I work on the 'other side' now doing the assessing for insurace companies but think maybe I should start painting again as I have a large workshop with all facilitys mmm thinking mmmm John

PM me your address & i'll get it posted out John 07930 367 659

Just fitted one to mine (300tdi) but with ABS will check but I think the instructions were for both so might be good for you, will try to look tonight John

Hope someone comes along soon as I want to do this as well John

Hi Can anyone tell me how many spline's my 300 1996 Disco steering wheel has ? 48 or 36 ? Thanks in advance John

Traffic Film Remover The stuff you get in jet washers Damm good stuff but dont use it neat on your paint work

Hi Andy, Yes have noticed the gearing has changed as mine is tdi auto, what are the 4.11 diffs from ? John

Believe the term ''camel cut'' originates from the Camel Trophy Land Rovers when they would trim the back edge to allow larger tyre to fit & not rub on the archs in answer to the steering stop yes I have had to adjust mine quite a lot, but that's due to the tyres being so BIG 7 still on standard wheel's, will be changing to modulers soon & mat even change tyres as these are very agrresive (great in the mud though) 235/85 shuold be ok, mine, the smaller one in the photo is a 235/75, as you can see I have fitted extended bump stops & had to trim the bodywork considerably, hopefully get a set of archs fitted soon John
