Well, we are now the owners of a 200Tdi for the ambulance project, but
its still wrapped up in a Discovery.

All previous postings on 3.5 V8 are now redundant. Please accept my thanks.

Now, anyone want any bits from a 1991 Disco ? Or of course a 3.5 V8 ?

Oh yes,

Has it got a load cover, what colour are the doors? Has it got a battery
clamp (I haven't got one). has it got a decent gearstick gaiter (black
square thing).

It feels like Christmas.

mail me on andrew"at"preaching.co.uk (take out the at and put in @ without
the speech marks of course)

Someone in here was looking on account of the demise of cyl 7 on his.

does it look like it has a working heater?

'cos my sod doesn't.

and whereabouts in the country - I'd be willing to travel a bit to extract
such an item, seeing as it's about a 2-hour job unless the dash has already
been stripped from the car.

can the heater matrix go "short-circuit" so that hot water flows through it
but no heat emerges from the heater?

The only other thing that could be causing it is an internal demise of the
mixer flaps in the box. all the external controls appear nominal. no heat
either on recirc or on fresh air. Hot water in pipes to and from heater and
it must be circulating 'cos it's in the same circuit as the vapouriser, and
that's getting normally hot - if there was no hot water circulation, the
vap. would be freezing.

Does it have a beige interior?
If yes how much are you asking for the center console? (the one that runs
between the two front seats)
I do not need the switches or anything else apart from the console itself.
But it will have to be sent to Greece by post if you can do it.

Take care

Have you got all the actuators that will work the central locking also the
motors for the electric windows as some of ours are definately on the way
out. What state are the seats in? Also something I've been after for ages
it the actual plastic cover that goes round the steering column, which I can
take a pic of if you like and post webshots.
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. Where abouts are
you? Is Leicester far from you?

Nikki,

You can get replacement CL actuators from Maplin for around £4.95 each -
they are the 2-wire variety and will need bullet connectors crimped onto
their leads, but they work fine - I'm using them in my Disco just now.

They look very different, but the mounts are identical and they work very
well.

Front seats look pretty good, better than the one I saw last week which
were thoroughly manky.

Lizzy proposes we have a "DIY" weekend - "dismantle it yourself" all
interested denizens of this group are invited to come. Plasma cutters,
angle grinders with cutting disks, oxy-acetylene torch will be
available, no reasonable offers on the bits will be refused.

WE'RE HAVING THE ENGINE

and possibly the gearbox ?? Or will it be too small for a 101 ambi ?

Between and just below the middle pair
of spark plugs on the right hand bank (looking from the front).

DIY idea is great BTW.

Should have asked the colour before I started. Ours is beige and yours is
blue, so not good.
