hi guys thought i would say a quick hello . im new to landys so im sure there will be a few questions from me , anyway the name is martin and im in somerset so there is plenty of mud :)

im picking up a disco 1 in the coming week , its a 2l mpi petrol (yes i know its not the best engine) but its a friends from work who has had it for 18 years and is very tidy . but it has a head gasket gone ! so the plan is to get the head off and go from there , if its just the gasket then i will fix it and drive it if more terminal then will prob put a 200 tdi in it . fingers crossed i should have a lift kit sorted too :) .

im more a vag man of recent years having owned a few different golfs etc

mk1 golf gti
mk1 golf c 2l 16v track prept
mk2 gti 8v
mk2 gti 2l 8v
mk2 vr6
passat estate (work horse)
mk5 golf gti (340 bhp big turbo)

so im not bothered with getting the spanners out :)
 
Hi and welcome. I had a Mars red, 84 GTi with the factory fit Zender body kit & 15" Pirelli P slot alloys. lovely motor.


I wouldn't bother with the head gasket just get a 200tdi engine for it. MPG is abysmal on the MPi and they are seriously underpowered.
