Wanted : 200TDi Engine

Andy · Jul 26, 2004

Hi,

I am in need of a good 200TDi to transplant in to my Sis-in-Laws Disco (she
has totalled her engine).

If any one has an engine for sale, or knows where I can get one at a
reasonable cost, please let me know.

Many Thanks

Andy

Just picked this up on another forum (DOC) :

"A friend has had their 90 stolen from their house just outside Didcot.

Please keep your eyes and ears open.

It's a very distinctive 90.

Defender 90 in Real Tree Cammo with full roll cage, reg no:M19 0LR.

The guys house is pretty isolated so it's thought they did not find it by
chance, so be sure to keep an eye on your own steeds and lock them up.

If you see or hear anything to do with the 90 please contact the police on
0845 8505505 or email me direct [email protected]"

A commercially produced camouflage pattern from the USA, used by their
hunters. While it looks quite effective in photographs I've seen, it
seems to depend on matching real trees, a much more photographic level
of detail than in military cammo patterns, and may not be so good at
breaking up shapes.

I've mostly seen it in connection with airgun hunting, where you have
to do a fair bit of stalking (but effective ranges aren't so different
to a shotgun) and it can be applied to the gun as well as clothing.

References to Les Barker and "I can't find my camouflage net" would
perhaps be a little insensitive in the circumstances.

dead neat, too. You can buy boots and stuff made with it.

Apart from anything else, a 90 done out in RTC is so distinctive that I
seriously doubt it's saleable as is, without getting recognised.

Here's a good pic of a D90 wrapped in the stuff.

Pretty distinctive. I'd think it'd be hard to hide.

According to the specs on the site, it is "easily removable for 5 to 7
years"

Whether that means that it will peel off easily within 5 to 7 years without
damaging the paint....

Also states that it will not damge the paint underneath, so if this is the
stuff that he used, then a few minutes with a heat gun would have it very
saleable again.

I'm sorry but its rubbish! Reminds me of some of them wheelie bins you
sometimes see with leaves and stuff on! I think its very naff, but...each to
their own! I hate the way the pattern repeats itself often ruining the
camouflage effect.

Guess I asked for that. Ok, let's try again.

It'd be hard to hide *in the city*.

I keep a tarp in that same pattern for hiding my D90 when out at the
ranch. Without the GPS I wouldn't be able to find my own truck sometimes.
