Don't need flywheel to put belt on, just use timing marks.

Devil's advocate, fitted one a few years ago while doing a rebuild on budget. Just had the engine out and release bearing is still absolutely fine. Obviously that one is no good, but doesnt mean they all are.

Full exhaust system for LWB Series 3, I purchased this second hand a few years ago so it's getting on but still in good condition. Was told it's stainless, clearly the backbox is, the pipes could well be but of a lesser grade. Comes as per the photos, any questions please ask. Currently in...

Some bits left over from stripping a 200 tdo to go into my Series. Photos to come, collection from Lyneham near Swindon. Radiator/intercooler, untested but no visible damage other than to the rad outlet stub. £30 Radiator fan cooling, £10 Alternator, untested. £5 Turbo feed & return, £15...

I'd be more inclined to say gauge/sensor/wiring than anything else. Top hose will get hot even before the thermostat is open, so the bottom may be cold simply because there is no flow. It may also be that it's only just hot enough to open the stat on and off, so by the time the coolant passes...

Thanks for that, I've got a pipe connector on the way so will see what I can do.

Can anyone share some photos of their bottom hose when using a serid radiator with 200tdi please? One of the last jobs but I cannot get a hose to fit properly. All suggestions welcome.

It looks like you're right! I got them from Parts in montion via their eBay shop, msyhe worth giving them a call?

However I would suggest looking at a previous thread I made on the topic with the bearing part number. I tried some from Turners which were extremely hard to work with and ended up replacing them again..

Ive just replaced camshaft bearings on my 200 with a generic tool from eBay, no need to get line bored as the bearings come pre-finished now.

I'd take the bit about 3500 or offers out of the description now it's almost over that!

Okay so I think I've sorted this - clearly not looking properly at 11pm last night when I was trying to fit it. If you look at the sixth photo, you can just about see the stud from the mount sticking down, this was resting on the chassis leg rather than slotting into it's hole, so the weight...

Morning all, Finally got the the stage of fitting the rebuilt Discovery 200 tdi to my 109 Series 3, however it doesn't seem to want to sit properly and hoping for some guidance. 2.25d mount brackets removed and fitted to disco block, new genuine mounts (NRC2052), 3mm washers either side of...

I had to get a pipe made up for the clutch master on my 73 S3, can't remember exactly why but different side unions vs the pipe I had. Took it to a local hydraulics place and they make me up a new pipe the same day for a few quid.

What have you got to lose by just throwing some new bearings in and putting it back together?
