  1. Same here from cold, engine revs and things are sluggish up the sloping drive. Changes up slowly when on the flat until the 1st mile or so. When warm drive is transmitted in a positive fashion. 300TDi non edc
  2. Don't want a swop do you stripy???
  3. Good links there chaps, looks like a to do job when the weather clears! Does anybody know if the manual type sunroofs are the same footprint as the electric piles of tripe that are fitted to my 300 ES?. If so I think a change is in the offing. Sorry to hijack the thread, any answers greatly appreciated. Cheers John
  4. Cheers Ally, must be loads of them knocking about, I'll ask some friends in the trade. Thanks John
  5. Cheers David plenty to think about!! She seized after blowing number 5 during hi speed motorway run, mrs wondered what the strange noise was
  6. Hi all, does anybody know if the 2.5 straight six diesel engine of a '99 rangie was ever used in any of the BMW car range?. Got one thats gone bang and wondered if it would be possible if a transplant could be obtained from a write off. Just trying to spread the net a wide as possible. Thanks for any help, cheers all
  7. Cheers Les Lifespan fit, that'd be nice!
  8. Hi all Just replaced the head gasket on my 95 300TDi. Was chuffing out the back on No4 pot. Got a genuine LR set and the gasket looked nothing like any I've seen before. Looked like multiple layers of thin steel that get compressed around a central core. Anyone got any info when they changed to this style, helped a mate do his who got one from an online store last month and it was the traditional style. Cheers for any info
  9. Cheers for the replies, I'll have a shop at Screwfix!
  10. Hi all I'm getting geared up for a suspension overhaul on a 300tdi disco. New springs, shocks and bushes all round as the ride is terrible! Does anybody know what size nuts and bolts are req'd for the spring retainers and front shock turrets.? The original ones look as though they arn't coming off without a fight and I'd rather have new stuff to hand rather than running back and forth trying to identify whats needed with the truck in bits Any help much appreciated, cheers John
  11. Had this a while ago, as bog said it was a failed solenoid. Would even try to crank when running and you went over a bump. Nasty gnashing of metal!
  12. Mine was the same come the cold weather, and this was after a rad replacement due to collapsed fins. I too changed stats and hunted for air leaks but in the end I now remove the viscous fan in winter (no probs yet with overheating, when staionary after a couple of minutes the gauge falls back down to C at idle) and warms up quick with out it. I think the engine has a lot of spare capacity temp wise WHEN everything is in good order ie rad unblocked engine waterways clear etc Cheers
  13. The wash wipe amongst other things is contolled by the Multi Function Unit. This can be placed in a diagnostic mode if I recall and will power the various circuits when differant buttons are pressed. Cant remember how you get to diag mode though. Anyone shed any light?
  14. Cheers for the replies, nuts and bolts at the ready. Cheers
