Hi, i have a manual Landrover Discovery 300Tdi, 1995 M reg. Upon taking up drive there is a clonk from the transfer box where the front propshaft comes out. Is this a repairable area or is it easier and cheaper to just change the transfer box? Many thanks, Mark

Park the vehicle in a clean dry well lit place. Work with safety in mind. Its always good to take pictures as you strip the/ a assembly. Refer back to pictures if you get stuck. Dis-connect the battery. Remove the gear linkages and speedo-drive and power cables from the gearbox. Remove the starter motor. Loosen the propshaft. Mark the yokes of the propshaft- for upon installation to avoid an unbalanced propshaft. Loosen the centre bearing. Remove the propshaft. Remove the cross member underneath the gearbox if there is one. Loosen bolts around the gearbox to cylinder block. Use a gearbox jack to support the gearbox. Take the bolts out from the gearbox to cylinder block. Pull gearbox backwards. Lower the gearbox. This is pretty much the standard way of removing gearbox. Note, there might be a transfer box, normally with 2 propshafts. Mark the yokes. Remove propshafts, transfer box and then gearbox. Remember to always work safe.

replace ignition coil, spark plugs, also double chek your coolant temperature must be normal. overheating causes car slows down and engine cant handle excessive high temperature or may damage it.

I know this website
www.reliable-store.com that i get manuals from, and they have all models online.

I also brought for my 1989 BMW, such old model, they had it and it was very good manual. Go ahead, I bet.

should be handy enough just screw out put new one in
if your machine hard to start when heating in the morning ,wait twenty seconds after light goes out then crank it
heater relay still working when heat indicator light goes out

check battery connections are clean and tight check main engine to body earth cable for condition and security check connections at starter motor to check for engine earth problem put a good quality jump lead between bat neg terminal and engine crank and see if ok

could be eithor

AAMCO gives free estaments and they are the experts in this feild

sounds like a blocked filter or low pump pressuer

Hi Steve, without knowing a bit more about your disco, ie, age, 200 or 300tdi, can you get all the gears when in 4x4 ?,it might be difficult to pinpoint your fault, but going on your first description i would say that the high range on your transfer box could be the problem. Do you have a local transmission repair workshop to you?, they should be able to confirm this for you

maybe the linkage in the transfer case is busted that could be where the noise is coming from . hope this helps

any aftermarket lights have to have the wire loom ran. when you run the loom make sure that it is protected and out of the way of things. also when going through any peace of steel make sure that you use a gromet so the wires don't get cut.
