cheers James. It's hard to know what is an acceptable level when you've only seen one. I read somewhere cross drilled only go on some boxes. Don't suppose you know which?

Took the gearbox and transfer box out today, in one piece. Which can't be right. Split them apart and found the input splines on the transfer box were fooked see below. The gearbox out splines were in a much better condition, but did have some wear on the leading corners. Don't know if it needs...

Evening. Has anyone had any luck replacing the housing for the rear door mechanism. The bit that fills with water from the outside. I can't find one to buy, but don't know what its called. Probably could make something, has anyone done a DIY one. Thanks

Aaronmorris when you say the gear stick will be in the wrong place, how much are we talking? I presume its further forward because of the extra length. Will it still come through the tunnel?

Does anyone know if I could just use the cross member from the disco and cut the mounts from that? I don't know how similar the chassis are.

Yeah if I can't find a scrapped chasis to cut them from I'd have to fit the engine with it on the crane then weld something up from scratch. Which isn't impossible but a lot of work knowing I could have just used the lt77. Plus my welding ability is well amateur. Hopefully this door rebuild...

Just got back from taking the engine out. Which was fun. I had a read through that other forum and it looks like a r380 box is going to be trickier. But i will check the lt77 output shaft next time I'm there and if that's fudged it might be worth it. So far I think Id need a different...

Cheers do you know of they make mounts for a 19j chasis to suit a 300?

Morning all. I have now come to terms with the fact my old 200tdi lump is dead. I had a replacement lined up from a local farmer. I went and saw him yesterday only to find that he had two 300tdi discos he's been slowly breaking for spares. A previous owner of my 1990 110 had already changed...

Finally managed to speak to the owner of my engine to be today. Turns out he's got two 300tdis. So the straight swop has turned into a much more daunting upgrade. Has anyone got any experience of this transplant or is it worth starting a new thread for my queries?

Hmm think you'd need to be logged I to my facebook. I'll see if I can get the original.

Took me ages to find this, don't know if you'll be able to see it it its a cool slowmo. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10151908396569009&id=516804008&_rdr

Yeah exactly. Everyone loves a slomo

Now the 3+ is out should push down the price of the 3s. Would be tempted by a second one if I wasn't forking out for this new engine.

Yeah I don't think 4k is far off though. But as you say it editing it that will be the problem. I normally film at 1080 50fps but my mate who edits it complains it's to slow to work with if not 24fps. I've got a few cheapo Chinese batteries that last as good, so I just swop out when they're...

Cool. I've got a 3 black. Want to know if the 3+ is as good as they say.

Titch which gopro do you have?

Saw a Lego advert in the cinema the other day. That's what kids should be doing not playing cod

What kind of money?
