thanks for the links. Unfortunately I was only asked this afternoon to do it so clutching at straws!

unfortunately they are out of stock at the moment

Thanks for that, I have just been printing off that tech thread!! I will give them a ring, he did mention some problems fitting however so wondered if there was anyone else... Any other reccomendations?

This weekend I need to change the rear crossmember on a 300tdi 90. Having looked at the tech pages I have noticed that a few people have had issues with some suppliers quality. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a supplier who does next day delivery (need to have it here by friday night really! (vehicle based just outside Abingdon, Oxfordshire) Any help much appreciated! Thanks Henry

Sorry for the lack of pictures, I will try and take some this weekend if there is any interest. I have recently fitted the external mirrors from a 300 disco to my 200 disco as mine were knackered and thought the following might be useful to anyone trying it themselves. My car already had electric, heated mirrors. The mountings are different as is the wiring. I decided to buy the mirrors, wiring and door frames and switch from the local discovery breakers (nice having one 2 miles down the road!) First take the door cards off, this is 2 bolts holding the internal grab handle on and the screw behind the interior door pull. Slide the door pull cover off whilst holding the handle out. Then you can lever the trim away from the door carefuly trying not to break too many of the clips! Disconnect the speaker cable and slide the trim upwards to clear the door lock levers. Then pull off the interior trim from the mirror, disconnect the loom connectors and undo the 3 screws holding the mirrors on, then remove the mirror. The door frame is held at the bottom by 1 bolt either side, these are accessed from the inside, at the 'front' and 'back' of the door. At the front of the door there is a torx headed bolt that needs removing (just below where the mirror mounts) and a standard bolt at the back of the door at the same level. The frame can then be eased out from the top of the door. After this I did the wiring as there was more length of wire showing making it easier! Connections for my car were as follows, I got a section of the 300 door loom so used those connectors. On my car the wiring colours were the same on both side. 200 door loom colours -------300 mirror wiring colours-----function purple/white ---------------------- brown ----------------- up/down +ve purple/blue ----------------------- white ------------------ left/right +ve purple/red ------------------------ pink ------------------- left/right -ve purple/red ------------------------ blue ------------------- up/down -ve white/black ----------------------- black/red ------------- heating +ve black ------------------------------ black ------------------ heating -ve Once this is done drop the 300 series door frame into the door feeding the wiring through the bottom and bolt it up. Bolt up the mirror and connect the wiring loom, put 300 series interior mirror trim on. Change the mirror switch from the 200 part no PRC6829 to the 300 part no AMR2498. Replace the door trim and fittings, not forgetting to reconnect the speakers! Any questions feel free to ask.

I fitted a Brunel one about a year ago, the pump had already been tweaked but they did make a few tiny adjustments... To start with I was a little underwhelmed, I suppose I had been expecting a completely different car! However it did make a difference, it does seem to pull a lot better and it is much smoother at higher revs. This could also be the new bottom pipe that I had at the same time to take the restriction out. (apparently they used the same hose for lhd and rhd cars and there is an indentation in it to clear the steering box on LHD. Overall I would recommend Brunel as they were very helpful spending ages on the phone with me beforehand discussing the options. If I had my time again I would buy another one as the difference was worth it for me.

thanks guys, I already have a brunel replacement intercooler so will not be increasing it in size in the forseeable future! I have been running without a fan since September but have an x eng fan switch installed and think I ought to use it!

Is there any reason why I shouldn't use a fan that pushes air through the radiator on my 200tdi discovery? A lot of the ones I have seen pull from between the engine and radiator... I have one that would be a perfect fit sitting in the workshop! Thanks!

Oh great! Filled me with confidence!!! Are 300tdi injectors the same as 200tdi ones? can find 300s but no 200s? Thanks for all the help. The disco flew through it's emissions, it just annoys me and people following me when a haze pours out the back at night.

yes very interested at £35 each, thought they were more like £100 each!!

thanks guys. Unfortunately I don't know what the original settings on the pump were as they were never marked when adjusted. I am in the middle of runing a bottle of redex through the tank and went out last night for an hour getting it very hot but seems to have made no difference...

I am really struggling with reducing the smoke from my 200tdi disco. I havent driven it at night for months and only noticed it a couple of nights ago after having to take it to work. I have read the instructions given Here but it doesn't seem to be helping. My disco has a brunel replacement intercooler and the boost turned up to 1bar.A friend 'turned it up' a few months ago but can't remember how much he moved things and is 300 miles away so can't have a look! My problem is a grey haze under acceleration at night, you can't see it during the day but cars behind me pick it up in their headlights. It happens under acceleration, using about 1/2 bar of boost so medium acceleration. The only way to stop the smoke is to harldy use the throttle and accelerate very slowly. I have tried turning the diaphragm anti-clockwise (started a little and ended up 180 degrees!) but it has not made any real difference to smoke or performance. Next I tried turning the power screw on the back of the pump ant clockwise, whilst this reduced power at higher boost levels the haze did not go. Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong and is there a way to sort it? Many thanks for your help, starting to get very annoyed with it!

This is mine bought from X-Eng Good bit of kit and pretty expandable as well!

Tell me about the fuel consumption! Before I bought the 200tdi I had a tdv6 and on a run it would barely crack 24mpg with the muddies on, however, with standard tyres on it would do over 30! I ended up getting rid as I didn't use it enough offroad after I got my 200, end of fuel consumption problem!

have to add my name to this list! Si spent ages on the phone with me before Christmas re an egt gauge and it arrived the next morning! He then spent more time on the phone talking through it and even opening the bonnet on his landy to compare!

That's great thank you. Is there anyway to stop it as I have covered a couple people in smoke recently

My discovery always chucks out a little bit of smoke when it starts, apparently 'they all do that' and I must admit most that I have seen do... So what causes it and is it a bad sign? Thanks Henry
