    Whats the life expectancy of a Disco 300 TDI engine? (94/95 model)

    I swapped the engine in mine, and the new engine had 220k miles on it, I've done another 25k, and it's as sweet as a nut :D touch wood

    What's best?

    obviously you'll have the radiator out etc, so it's easier to change timing belt with tensioners and serpentine belt too. I just changed the engine in my 300tdi Disco (not box's). I also gave it a thorough service, adjusted tappets, changed all fluids and filters etc. Then changed all fluids and...

    Driving Offence

    I don't know how comfy my sofa is in comparison to yours, but your welcome to it. And I'll re-offer the use of my Series 3. I can soon have it fixed for you, just need a cylinder and pipe for the brakes and it's fit to go.

    Gas oil

    Yes but it'll get you in bova! It'll run a bit hot, so it's wise to dilute it a bit with something with a lower burning point - touch of unleaded will do apparently.

    Flexi Arches

    I have aquired a set of flexi arches off a 3 door disco, and wanted to put them on my 5 door to enable me to do some major cutting, and fit big tyres. Am I ok to cut the rear arches in half for the door or shouldI sell them and buy a 5 door set?

    Gas oil

    Gas Oil is red diesel - for off road use only. central heating oil is usually Kerasene, which is also dodgy legally to stick in ur tank, and you may be paying 80p a litre (if you haven't shopped around enough), but bear in mind that that is delivered and put in your tank for you.
