    in Discovery Forum

    Posted

    hello i have a 200tdi and 300tdi, if left for four hours or more the 300 oil light will stay on for 3-4secs at start up, were as the 200 goes off strait away, changed oil and filter, changed oil pressure switch, when warmed up its fine, no engine noises, before i rip the engine apart has anyone else had this issue, have ordered a oil pressure gauge as we dont have one at work (only mercedes main dealer!)

    No left turn

    Hi all

    A mate at work has a problem with his disco, on his way back from a laning trip he stopped at some traffic lights to turn left

    Pulled away but couldnt turn left,when travelling at speeds of and above 25 mph all is well,

    below that speed he cant turn lerf at all.

    Hes disconnected steering, wont turn left

    Hes removed diff, all seems ok

    Hes removed drive shafts cv joint seem ok

    Steering turns left until you fit drive shaft then locks up

    Any ideas?

    if you cant turn when your at standstill with the two short shafts in sounds like cv joints, when you say disconnected steering what do you mean? and were disconnected? make sure your steering damper isnt full of mud this can cause this sort of problem.

    regards

    Best tool for cutting snorkel hole

    in Tools and Fabrication

    Posted

    I'm at work and havent a size chart with me so I don't know if they go big enough, but the best tool I have used for holes up to 1.5mm steel and 2mm ali are Q-Max punches. Just drill a hole to suit the allen screw, then use the punch and you get a super burr-free hole. Do a search for them on Google.

    must agree with above q-max punches are very good. holes saw would be top of my list to use, just because i have some, any one in poole area are welcome to use them.
