  3. Thanks,Replaced engine mountings about 2 months ago, vibration appears around 2000rpm. Anyone???
  4. Hi, I have a engine vibration on my disco 300tdi, it cannot be gearbox,propshafts or any suspension problem as I noted that when I rev up to between 2000 & 2200 revs the vibration comes through when standing still, anyone help/advice please. Thanks
  5. Let me rephrase this, it is the fuse for the instrument panel.
  6. Hi guys The fuse for the dashboard keeps blowing. I also noticed that the same is happening to the fuse from the battery to the relay that goes to the glowplugs. Any ideas or pointers to the right search option?First it took a while to blow, now it bombs out as soon as the ignition is turned on. Thanks 300 tdi Disco
  7. Jim, it was indeed wishfull thinking. Turns out the cylinder head is cracked. Should i have the piston rings also checked while the top is off? Here goes my X MAS bonus! Can get a new cylinder head that was manufactured in Brazil for about R3500.00. Are they any good or shall i get one from CCA in Kaya Sands? (R5900.00)
  8. Hi guys My 97 Disco tdi started puffing white clouds of smoke all of a sudden. Drove home ok (about 4km) without any loss of power. Checked the water reservoir and found it was almost empty. No visible leaks and no water in the oil.(on dipstick) I believe i am going to have to do a compression test to estimate the damage. Will that be enough to estimate the damage or will i have to remove the cylinder head to be 100% sure. Hoping it might only be the gasket but that might be wishful thinking!?.
