Hello all.  The wife's '95 Discovery series 1 has sprung an
intermittant fuel leak.  She told me it was leaking when she topped off
her fuel tank today.  I thought filler hoses -- I checked back up
there, and sure enough it looks like one or two of the hoses are

Is there any really simple quick way of seeing whether a Defender has a
200Tdi or a 300Tdi fitted? Better still, is there anything obvious to a
total amateur that shows that it is a Defender rather than a replacement
from a Disco that is in there?

the rear bumper captive nuts look like metric ( coarse thread ) but
metric bolts don't fit. I could buy a thread gauge but I thought only
UNF and metric were used.

Strange dream last night - dreampt the clutch went for some reason! Must
have been eating cheese...
This has got me thinking. The clutch on my 90 is not stiff, but heavier

Anyone see Panorama last night with the Royal Marines thundering about in
Afghanistan in what looked like two rather nice LWB Hi Caps and something
bigger and more Continental?

Has anyone any experience of changing the seal on the column input of the
PAS box on a Disco? Mine is leaking and I have ordered a seal kit from
Beam-ends but no idea what sort of job it will be to fit.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the recent suggestions.
I have now changed the oil (old oil was dirty no major "bits" in it)
and it has made a minor difference, but third is still difficult to get

I have a 2002 Freelander w/51000 mi on it. I just had the Radiatator
recovery / oveflow container replaced and a new noise has shown up,
When the car warms up to opertating temp a whining noise starts from
the left side of the engine.

Trying to get my 1996 300Tdi Defender with 114000 miles up and running after
I drowned her.
Down to the last knockings and don't have a head gasket
They come in three different thicknesses and I don't have the old gasket

000km. I am now on 250 000km and wondering when the next one is going
to give up. Would also like to know if anybody has found a worth
