Rust badly? I've seen many cars in worse rust states than the disco we just picked up and I mean far newer cars! As for wallowing on the road, not seen or felt any of that either.

Just ordered... A few sets of headlight clip sockets (damn things, gunna have spares in the car) rear ladder dog guard tailgate glass rubber seal Oh and a bunch of tools including welding gear, got more tools to grab at the weekend as missing some essentials like a torque wrench, decent...

Cheers for that mate :)

I've gotta get dog guard and do that myself, going to get a rear access ladder too so that the roof bars are more accessible :)

Ok folks, continuing on with touchups and so on would anyone know exactly what paint colour is used on the wheels? It is some kind of mid-dark grey and needs touching up just to tidy things up. (really need to remember to note my paint code for the body...sigh, I guess you all understand the...

You have got to be kidding me...

Yeah it's a fair point mate, was literally just an idea bouncing around after looking at so many parts. Cheers for replying :)

So...while I have been spending a solid amount of time looking for all the little bits and bobs to basically bring the 300tdi ES back up to scratch (pretty much trying to put her back to factory standard-ish for the moment) I couldn't help but wonder... was the TD5 just a facelift? Is taking the...

Cheers buddy, PM'ing you now :)

That's just it, I haven't got a garage full of random bits lying around and my local scrappy didn't have any Landys today lol

Just taken these to give a better idea than that pixellated mess above hehe as you can see she's got the all too common bubbling to sort out later (thinking of replacing the silver writing with matte black perhaps) but there is a part I need that I am hoping someone has but as I'm not into...

Had a good dig and here's the faults list for now... it's sooo scary! Passenger seat has a bolt missing hood release lever damaged headlight clips need replacing Steering wheel trim damaged Passenger control console for light/sunroof needs replacing rear sunroof interior trim missing. Scary...

I'm dead chuffed...real case of first one seriously viewed was the right one for us. Nothing major planned in terms of work on her as she was bought mainly to be transport for our 3 big dogs (Belgian shep and 2 Czech wolfdogs) but having lurked on these forums for awhile I was well sorted to go...

So she's home, technically not mine but I'm gunna be doing most of the work on her and once I have my licence I will be on the insurance. She is every bit as tidy outside as she looks in that picture, 174k on the clock, no apparent offroad use as we are in a seaside area so she should be...

It rained tonight so I got my torch out... they are not glued and there is a small amount of moisture coming in, however I have made it clear that they are a common leak point and we don't really need them functioning which she has agreed to. :) Other than that she is a stunner! None of the...

Joy...and this one has an original headlining... cheers for your replies though :)

Good thinking Batman, hadn't thought to check although he did say the front one was working up until about 2 weeks before yesterday. I'll have a look and a poke and see what's what, worst case she'll have to live without lol

Ok folks, picking up the disco tomorrow, neither sunroof is working but neither are leaking, mother in law wants them working. When the switch is pressed you hear the electrical click (single not constant) but nothing happens so is this likely to be a relay or could both motor units be dead...

Your old girl sagging at the front eh? Happens to the best of 'em as they get older, trade her in for something younger >.<

Not a bad idea mate, just one of those that only works right up until it hits the real world :)
