No consolation i know, but thats why many of us refer to Britpart as Sh--part. I am sure they they must supply something thats okay just never found it yet.

Hi,
I have the same Disco as you and have frequently towed heavy twin axle4 trailers to our house in Spain which is 4000ft above sea level, and never had a problem with over heating also towed across the Alps a few times and never had a problem either. Would suspect the oil cooler or pipes are slightly blocked, or at least i hope for you thats what it is cheaper than a new box

Hi ,
Thanks for the reply, did the cambelt kit recently so thats okay.
Did you change any of the injectors? especially no 4 the one with the electrical feed.

Keith
Hi All,
On my Disco 96 300 tdi it has a fly by wire injector pump, i would like to change it to a standard cable one, main reason easier to get hold of, and easier to tweak (read cheaper). I know people have done it, so basically what do i need other than a pump and a throttle cable.
Forgot to add its an Auto
Regards
Keith
Hi
Me thinks you have a problem have towed a 3500kg twin axle trailer loaded to its max across europe and the alps with a 200tdi 90, and it coped okay

Just changed a 3 wire injector pump from a 98 disco for the the earlier version, single wire to solenoid, using a circuit tester find which of the 3 wires has a live feed when ignition switched on and connect that to the solenoid and presto all is fine, did all of this in a field at billing LR show.

Bought a pug 306 for my daily commiute of 66 miles, instead of using the 300tdi Disco, saving a bl--dy fortine in money but hate driving the thing, seriously thinking about retiring earlier than planned and leaving the UK for cheaper and warmer climate (Sri Lanka) where we planned to go anyway.

Split the calipers,
Read the article in the Technical Archive, i think by Les. Just done mine on the 110 and Disco not difficult to do just take tour time and keep everything spotlessly clean

Just converted a V8 110 to 300TDI Auto, having spent ages working out various costs decided by far the cheapest was was to buy a complete 300tdi Disco, then at least you get the chance to drive it etc, (drove mine back over 120 miles so it all had a good test). Once i had stripped out what i wanted sold the rest which recouped a fair amount.
As is said above not the most difficult job in the world, but not going too be done in a day either.

Keith
Absolutely agree with the above not are Britpart known as Sh--part for nothing, on a recent trip to Bosnia a fellow traveller had a Disco 300TDI, that had had all new Britpart U/Js fitted just before leaving, I had to change them all in Germany they had lasted just over 500miles absolutely false economy to fit sh--part.

As it says really.....anyone know of a supplier for a fold down full width bar that would lock upright or horizontal , the latter being for laying the kill on
You cruel cruel man you, not only are you killing the planet in your 4x4 beastie, you are wanting to kill poor lickle deeers and probably fluffy wabbits as well

Just putting the .243 away after cleaning
Hi Rich
Is that North Yorkshire Piegon Poo ? i see holding the plates to that immaculate chassis i sold you.
What you need is good South Yorkshire Duck S--t to hold them on properly!!
No was given them with a set of roof bars,t the ones that go gutter to gutter, apparently when he had the roof bars fitted at LR main agent years ago he got these as well

Hi All,
Any thoughts on the following:
Rebuilt 300tdi, new radiator,new hoses, starts and runs fine bottom hose gets hot, heater box hoses get hot, top hose is still cold so is radiator, temp gauge getting towards the red, any suggestions ideas etc

Keith
"Actually dishwashers were designed for engine parts originally so it won't do any harm"
Will I be forgiven?
