Thread: Newbie with some issues.

Hey all,

First time poster on this site, although i have been reading the forums for a while and have found some great info. I've just recently bought my first Land Rover, a '92 200tdi manual Discovery, it is great. Hope you guys can help me with a few issues. I've searched the forums but came up blank:

Firstly: My passenger mirror is slightly damaged. Are 300tdi mirrors interchangable with the 200tdi ones?? I know they're a different shape, but i can get a set of 300tdi ones for a great price, providing they fit.

Second: Sometimes the engine won't stop running when i switch the key off, and i have to stall it to get it to stop. A mate told me it might be the fuel solenoid, but i'm not too sure what i'm looking at. I'm quite mechanically minded, but its my first venture into a diesel. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Third: My reverse lights don't always work, not sure if it is a bad wire or some sort of faulty switch??

Last: I am running 265/70 R16's on the factory steel wheels and they scrub on full lock. Is there any way to prevent this?

I know i'm asking a lot, but i'm really stuck on these things. Hopefully once i get a bit more knowledgable i will be able to help out some others.

Thanks in advance, Nick.

With engine running on. May be some one fitted a turbo timer?
