Morning BoB, morning Lizard.... a couple more voddys and I'm off to the pit. The novelty of night work wears a bit thin sometimes. :mad:

hey DB both in the same boat then ! Yeah.. great innit. I've only gotta look at it sat on me drive and it makes me smile. That said, once I get to grips with it the air's gonna turn blue every now and again I'm sure, but I would'nt be without it now I've got one. :)

Morning ladles and jellyspoons... i'm off to bed, night night. :yawn:

It's not my thing but welcome anyway. :D

Morning Rick..welcome. :)

Yoh D71 Series bro' .... I'll be asking plenty in time to come too ! :)

Here we go.. I think the piccies flatter it a bit but I don't care, it's great !

Well I've got it home now.... Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew! Left home at 10:30am to collect trailer, get down to Herts, spend an hour trying to find where the bloke lives and get back at 9:30pm totally fooked. Worth it though...it looks reet good. Will get piccies up in a bit. :)

As thread says, picking up my 'new' series today, trailering it back from Herts. Apart from myself and two youngest lads there's room in the Disco for whatever. But be quick as I'm off at about ten o'clock. :)

A series owner that is. It's a series 3 88" and I'm picking it up tomorrow. Once I've got it home (Trailer from Herts) I'll get some piccies and put em up. It has'nt got an MOT but it don't look bad and it's in the best colours I think... green with the cream roof. Can't wait to get it and I'm...

I'm on it now. :)

Worked mine out also coming back from Kernow, 27mpg.. but the Disco was stuffed to the gills with the roof rack piled up and not really sticking to the most economical speeds.

Hello Bob.. cover plate worked a treat, even gave it a coat of black Smoothrite before fitting. :)

I've been a Norverner for nine years now.. does that count ?

Alright Pete.. welcome to LZ, it's gooood ! :)

Was just a thought... I had some muppets change the clutch on my Dolomite years back (engine/gearbox out) and they forgot to tighten one of the engine mounts. It dinarf shake !

Torque wrench :doh:

Just get yourself a Haynes Manual for reference and do it. Get that job under ya belt and start thinking what else to tackle. Hopefully in time your confidence and experience will grow and you'll be servicing it before you know it. Good luck mate. :)

Might sound a bit obvious here, but have you had a quick look to make sure the engine mounts have been properly tightened?

There's a 200tdi in the for sales with a free Disco attached if that's any good to ya.
