I was hoping that someone out there may be able to help. I have a sticking throttle pedal and I am going to strip it down to lubricate etc. Can I buy just the bush as I believe after 1/4 million miles it may be worn. If so does anyone have a part number ? It is a 1992 200tdi disco (range rover in disguise) Thanks in advance BW

was your issue ever resolved. I am asking because I had the same problem with my 1992 disco air con On my disco the fan would only work on high speed. Then it packed up one day. I replaced the fan unit and it still only worked on full speed. The consensus was that it was the switch. Now (after changing the head gasket ?!!!?) I have no heater blower at all. I am seriously considering starting from scratch with the wiring. Has anyone out there bypassed all the wiring to start from scratch ? Regards BW

Yahoo (as in cheer, not search engine) got the clutch today at 14.00 and I drove it back from the workshop at 17.30...very chuffed. I must confess I didn't look at the splines behind the pto because even if they are badly worn I can't afford to do the work so best left alone I think. thank you all for you assistance throughout what is my first clutch change on a disco (done plenty of series). I will be back...... regards Bw

page 123.... 1800 kg, surprisingly more than all the other models including the forward control. Thank you for that.

I have a 1967 series 11a and I was wondering what the legal maximum for towing is (weight). It is a shorty but has a LWB front axle. Any thoughts Regards

Before I take off the PTO cover and look at the splines and gear I would like to know how much of a job is it to replace said gear and shaft. Is it beyond the likes of a diy mechanic?. I am capable of overhauling the tranny box and recently changed timing belt and water pump as well as a head gasket skim job. Regards BW

Me again. Started at about ten in the morning and by four in the afternoon I have a clutch plate in my hand. At first I thought it was OK, I was expecting the steel on the webs to have sheared. What has happened is the rivets that hold the plate tight onto the springs have stretched allowing the centre boss to rotate freely. Two of the springs had turned ninety degrees in their holes. Complete new kit ordered and a Heavy duty fork too. I was wondering how much a complete clutch replacement would cost at a garage....I can use that information to cheer up the wife. Thank you for all the above assistance Regards

It's nearly out, just two bolts in the bell housing and then it can be craned onto the floor. Biggest problem was winching it up onto the wheel ramps, thank goodness for the tirfor. When it is out then I will report back on progress. Which clutch package has the best reputation ? I don't want to do this for another ten years ! regards

If the splines on the mainshaft have gone would that be evident (shrapnel) in the oil if I drain the tranny box?. I rolled the disco on the flat and I could feel the high low baulking before dropping into gear with the rotation of cogs so that seems normal. I will start today with dropping the box and ordering a new clutch anyway. Are some clutches better than others remembering that I do quite a bit of heavy towing?. Thanks for the above ! Regards Bad Wolf

I was taking the little ones and the good lady Wife for a picnic in the beautiful French countryside when about ten kilometers from home the following occurred Just as I started to scale a slight incline the disco did a great impression of 'jumping out of high range'. Un-flustered I grabbed the high / low and shoved it into high range....nothing. I then selected low range and (forgetting how fast I was moving) it let out one of those little shudders that land rovers do when selecting low range at an inappropriate moment / speed...still no drive. Engine is fine clutch pedal good, prop shafts all where they should be. Rolled to a stop and called the recovery truck. Whilst waiting for said truck did much waggling of high low etc ..still nothing. Back home and a bit of further diagnostics. The diff lock dash light doesn't illuminate..it used to light up OK. Rolling the disco in gear indicates that the road wheels are doing something inside the gear box as I can hear the gears engaging etc (albeit quietly). My conclusion is ...either the 1st motion shaft is stripped or broken or the clutch plate has decided to become a two piece affair. I do tow a 3.5 trailer frequently and fully (over?) loaded. Therefore the above is my first conclusion. Is there an idiot proof way of finding out the condition of the clutch plate without hauling it all to bits? We did get to the picnic two hours after we had intended and in the renault 4l....another design success story ! Thank you in advance for your advice and helpful responses; Yours Bad Wolf
