The bloke we just sold our Disco to thrashed it and ended up with a blown head gasket costing him 800 + quid to get it repaired. lol. He very quickly learnt that 300Tdi are not designed to do 95 down the A303.

300's are bad for eating head gaskets, mine's been wearing a new head since january, i just hate the high gearing in the disco for towing, when i say thrashing i mean drive with a heavy right foot - not be a speed freak. sometimes i dream about having a fast car again but i get more fun at 5mph on the landy trials:thumbup:

I drive like Im 95 not at 95. haha

 

Any tips on what to look out for or listen out for???

 

Only thing I have noticed is a squeeking coming from the fan belt, and the battery light is glowing a bit whillst driving. Alernator??? need new or need adjusting to tighten up the fan belt???

squeaking is usually from one of the pulleys on the serpentine drivebelt, usually worse in wet weather, if you need the alternator fixing i know a guy round here who overhauls them for £40 if you remove it and take to his workshop.
