Gday all, so I've run into a few issues with my lovely new disco 1 300tdi - its basically **** itself haha.

Since i cant really afford to get a mechanic to do it i'm planning on fixing her up as best i can myself.

The fellas at Jordan rover tech recon my crankshaft pulley has come loose so it needs to be replaced,
Does anyone know of a good step by step guide to replacing it? Or have any helpful hints? Will i need any additional seals or will a new puller just replace the old?

Second problem is that apparently my master and slave cylinders are on their way out, the clutch isnt fully extending and sometime when i get into the car the clutch will be all the way in and i have to pull it out.
Same question again, does anyone have a step by step guide to replacing the master and slave cylinders or have any recommendations or warnings?

Im thinking of perhaps doing the master+slave myself and leaving the front crank pulley to the experts... Thoughts?

Cheers for the help.

The master cylinders are a pretty simple replacement and a manual or the RAVE disc will help for that task.
What is the problem with the balancer , is it flogged out ?

The crankshaft balancer/damper/pulley (they're all the same thing right?) is wobbling around when the engine is on causing a lund rattling/clocking noise. Could it be anything else? I've actually grabbed the pulley and it feels solid when i try to wiggle it, but i can see it moving about when the engine is on.

Could it be a problem with the crank shaft itself?

It could be the loose balancer has now flogged out the keyway on the crank :o.
