yes i'd say thats enough room to do it.

That doesnt look nice.

how much is the head going for boydy? i may be interested.

sorry i meant it wont disengage, the bearing and plates are all fine just the pivot ball through fork. besides i will be taking the engine out of the disco in september to put in my defender hopefully.

i have now replaced my release fork as well as the slave cylinder, i have pressure in my peddal now but still the clutch will not engage!!! could this be that i haven't blead it properly??? paul

i'd be up for driving these lanes, looks good.

i would be up for that in a couple of weeks, live in ipswich. paul

i've just got my gear box back together for the second time today. i put mine back dry both times. i dont beleave there is any need to use any sealer, and in answer to your question, it is correct you only need to pull the gear box back no further than in that article on the link posted.

i am thinking of converting my defender td to a 300 tdi from my disco, has any one done this and know how much work is involved and what parts would need changing, etc.. paul

oh yes can take a **** taking and happy to give it. how do you add pics? cant seem to work it out.

defender wins my vote. discos are confy but boring. also i find my defender easier to work on than my disco. easier to modify, better off road. i dont find it that uncomfortable. body panels much easier to replace. less rust with a defender. and easier to remove and refit a gear box. been...

hi, i'm paul. i own a 1990 defender 90 2.5td & a disco 1994 300tdi. been spending most of my time on the cold floor under the disco, had the gear box out twice and now trying to get it back on for the second time after finally fixing the correct problem. well thats me and what ive been up to.
