well me td has met its maker on the week end. turbo went bang and it inhaled the shrapnel so all is not well with my beasty.
seems its the ideal time to stick a tdi in it. anyone got a disco doner they want to sell?? preferably not to far from me as aint got a tow motor anymore :( anything considered for reasonable money got cash waiting.

cheers.j

have you got any plans for the top end of the old engine ? - specifically the rockers and rocker shaft ?

prefer to get rid of the whole engine tbh, but no have no plans for it as yet.
would make bloody good engine for some one with a little work, just had valves done, timing belt, lift pump, valve seals, thermostat, full service. its just the turbo thats gone pop and wants the head off to check for bits in head. no nasty noises in the engine itself, infact its like a swiss watch! but its only done 27000 since it was built by turners, got the certificate and reciepts from them.
basically just head off to check and new turbo and its good to go. good replacement if you got a tired one.
nothing against the td i think its got a bad rep, but if im going to have it off the road to work on the engine again i may aswell replace it with an aguably better engine :)
 
oh yeah i probly am tbh. but il give you shout on it soon as i get a replacement :)
would prefer a complete disco as it gives me all the bits n pieces. :)
 
picked up my doner today:) 93 200 tdi disco with 79000 gen miles on clock. plus as a bonus its got a set of 265 bf goodrich at tyres on black 8 spokes , so will also be going on the 110 :) oh and set of spacers.
drove it back from liverpool and engine is bloody lovely. so i know what il be doing this weekend.
