I have two for the 300tdi if anyone need one? Not sure if they would go in the TD5?

I am just about to put an R reg 300 Tdi Commercial up for sale. It has been on a farm so has had a battering, but was sold due to head gasket, I have had that replaced and also had a replacement head with skim (Was going to use the old head as it was ok, just the guy who had it before me has...

Ok the usual to diy or not to diy! Looking at servicing the Discovery's (both 1996-1997 TDI's) one is Auto and one is Manual. I am fine with a spanner and service my cars and kit cars but the Disco seems more involved! The main problem I have with garages is the trust element of them doing...

Land Rover Parts, Accessories, Sales in West Yorkshire, UK - Simmonites I live down the road from them and looked at the website and thought that they didn't do much but called by one day and they have new parts on the shelf including all the bolts the Land Rover couldn't get. Also HELLO AND...

Lol I am wondering how this managed to be a 6 page thread! "MOT / Rust / Will this pass???" NO! It is more than clear that he is going to fix the rust at any cost! So good luck mate.

Or Cracko Jako (Michael Jackson) For the type of cash you looking to pay to get it done your better looking for one on ebay where it needs something big that is good on yours but makes theirs worthless like an engine or box axel etc. Then swop them over jobs a good one! You dont have to ride...

I agree if you need to lock or unlock it you will be by the car anyhow. However I could sell you a GSM device which will lock and unlock it from anywhere you and the car can get GSM signal if it is that much of an issue? You may want to look at the ariel/antenna for the alarm/Central...

We have 2 Commercials (one sign written and one abouts to be sign written) mainly used as everyday cars but the main reason for it been a Landy is the image it gives and the ability to have 7 seats. Mine is spotless and tidy. My Brothers is like a skip with fag ash and boxes all over...

Wow a new form of extreem off roading "Caravan Laning" :)

Hi when starting the car on the 300 Tdi Auto Commercial When it gets to position 2 (I think) it starts to tick/click. It seems to go when the car is started, but if you put the key in and turn it to 2 without starting the engine it happens. It sounds to be coming from the fuel pump maybe...

Like I said before if anyone else is after one then now is a good time to let me know as a cast could be made whilst its off the car.

Pulled the one off the farm truck so going to get it resprayed and stuck on my new baby. It helps keep the water away from the top of the rear door seal which tends to leak. When door is open it wont do jack. As for branches they tend to be cut back on the main roads and motorway so will...

Its not too hard to open the tank though so it may be an Idea to empty it and find someone with a Russian Truck, or empty half and fill up with more Diesel then when empty put the other half in with half fresh Diesel. To get to the tank pull the carpet in the boot back, take the screws out of...

Try someone elses seats? Maybe yours have just seen there day as all the ones I have sat in are fine. I have 2 sets of cloth ones in ok condition as I have upgraded to leather, I was going to list them on ebay. One pair have fully working lumbar suport as I found whilst trying to move the seat...

So I am guessing the general consensus is NO! Oh well I may just try and cut the other off the farm truck.

Beware that they made 2 types! Ones that have hooks sewn on the ends and then clip onto the bracket. And ones that are sewn on to the bracket direct. I just got some for mine. They have both on the shelf (second hand) at 4XFortyone.

Any one know what size the thread is off top of there head? I am going to order some but dont want to drive to the workshop to find out.

Hi been working on a 300TDI that had a Head Gasket Failure. Seems the 1st 3rd and 5th set of studs and nuts have been overtightened and threaded the block of the head. The 2nd and 4th are bolts and look to be ok. I have re tapped the 1st and 3rd and they look ok. The 5th is going to be an...

Yep done this a few times now. All the fixed nuts are there, some with tape and stickers over. If your pulling them out of the donor car you will have all the bolts etc so no worries. The wall/door card will need cutting to let the hinges stick through, or if the donor is same colour nick...

:hysterically_laughi I will have to go back and look again as I didn't see any metal work. ??? Do they weigh in rust? You could sell it to a company like waxoil or the likes to show what can happen should you not treat the car, then get a new one with the cash! WIN WIN!
