im as western i have a lightbar 4 rotator on my disco been on there for 2 years never had a problem and before that had one on a transit van if you dont abuse it i dont see a problem my disco is also striped at the rear with red reflective tape. chris

if it locked up i would say maybe a bent con rod or even blown the head gasket , i had a maestro van with a perkins 2l prima engine do this and it done the head gasket on 1;3;4 but didnt do any other damage guess i was lucky hope this helps chris.

ive never had a prob with pirtek other than price but go for the flat face couplings more expensive but a lot better quality and dont leak hold dirt as the female is a flat face we use these on all of our excavators .chris

we have got 2/3 inches in colchester and its snowing again now maybe another day off work

thats where i have mine its single skinned as the roof levels out i have the square hella ones that are fitted to jcbs as work lights,chris

sorry english was not my best subject yes its a 300tdi the prob being the unions on top of the sedimenter are rusted good and proper soaked in wd40 so hopefully it will help i wasnt sure if there was a gauze etc over the bottom chris

been with herpmad today we have narrowed the problem to either the sender unit blocked inside the tank or between the sedimenter and tank what we need to know is there a filter/gauze on the bottom of the sender unit before we take this out as the pipes are corroded and will not budge its running ok by reversing the fuel lines at the lift pump using the return as the feed so its blocked between the sedimenter and tank

at the moment facom are doing some good deals in their latest leaflet ive started buying more facom i think thay take a lot of beating chris

whilst looking at a mates disco m plate with fuel probs it would not rev over 2000rpm cleaned out the sedimenter changed the filter ive eliminated the problem between the sedimenter and the fuel tank the pipes into the sender unit are oviously rusted corroded and wont come off without breaking the prob ive got is you cannot blow into the fuel line as it appears to be blocked from the sedimenter to the tank and sucking is rearly hard is there a filter gauze in the tank or is this a straight through pipe if i by pass this it runs ok and pulls ok so the prob is between the sedimenter and tank any ideas there no leaks in the system thanks chris

i dont think its the handbrake it gives the impression that something is winding up like if you had smaller wheels on the back the centre diff isnt stuck in ive played with that on a field like you said prob is syncro wear but i cant work out the winding up chris

yer ill second the plug easy to get out and seals ok

300tdi discovery n plate the last week its been getting harder changing down to second gear no prob changing up is it the syncro going and the other prob is a funny one when reversing it gives the feeling that the hand brake is holding then there is a clonk and it continues to reverse ok is this a centre diff problem any ideas before i get a recon box thanks chris.

ill second that mine a 100a nothing like that

27/30 im still learning,chris

mine started to do this although its a diesel and it was the alternator it lasted for about a week until it died new alternator and it was all ok chris

thanks for the replys jim/les ive ordered a new gasket and ill do it next weekend just a pain it only lasted 14 months i thought i had done something wrong cheers for the replys,chris.

when we run 15 ifor trailers twin wheel plant carrying 1.5ton mini diggers we must of had shares in jockey wheels almost daily thay would come back bent twisted or missing the best is the ribbed version with a lynch pin/ rclip to secure the handle ill try to find a part no for the jockey wheel chris

no probs mate well take the egr off and go from there, chris

the p gasket is it normal for this to last for 14 months and is it always a metal gasket, having replaced once its leaking again only a whimper at the moment, i put silicone on both sides of it and tightened it up square, is this a common prob because of the weight of the alternator etc hanging there movement etc, any extra tips and any special sealant hermetite red etc views appreciated chris

did you get me phone no gis a ring when you get time

youll prob find there a pain to get out i used mole grips to undo mine and covered them in grease when i put it back if you want to borrow a grease gun to grease your ujs let me know ive got plenty of grease

in the boot under the carpet there is a cover held on by six self tappers remove these and it will expose the sender unit check its all connnected is this the disco from the hythe

ive also got extra indicators and ive also put 2 brake lights in the rear window 2x 21w fog lights on a relay i can also make these flash as thay are wired through a flasher unit so all brake lights flash like hazard lights ill try and take a picture, chris.

i only saw the back of it as i went past earlier but the other is still there

is the blue one for sale there as well
