For anyone interested in the bigger pedal box cover here is a link Shirefabrications -

Many thanks..

Yes I did think of doing this, but was more thinking if the steering wheel boss was a factor. I had to take in, when measuring the wheel, as to whether the disk would fit over the curve of the center boss you see. And also some were listed in cm size and others were listed as large medium and...

Please can anyone please tell me what size disklok I need to fit the wheel of my new1997 defender, it's the one without the square and four spokes, its more like a discovery 1 steering wheel. I have seen them advertised as39cm / 42cm / large / sizes mentioned but don't know which size I really...

Seems ok to buy another 300 tdi then.

Reason I posed the question,was I was reading an article on sports car forum I'm on,the reason why diesel has gone more expensive than petrol, as it was always cheaper. And someone posted an article stating that diesel is now more expensive, because according to the article. A it is now more...

I was wondering with the way the government and climate change people, keep hammering the motorist with bans, levies, and pollution charges, i.e Inner London charges on diesels etc. how long you think it will be, before they drive all the non conforming engines off the road.

As always thanks very much for the answers,I had a feeling it might be battery, could be the short journeys

Yes,bang, going, no smoke at anytime,which I would have thought if low compression,worn rings / valves it would smoke ? on starting.

I thought about the glow plugs, but when I was in the archive / search department there seemed a general thought that glow plugs were not really needed to start an engine,so I didn't think about them,But,my original thought on this was, if they are not needed, why are they there. I plan on a...

Its a bit of both,instead of as you turn the key and bang, its going, first hit of the starter, now, you turn the key and you know the engine has turned a full cycle,and this morning it probably turned over twice before it started. If I charge the battery, I know it will be back to the bang as...

My disco 1998 300tdi is starting to get a bit sluggish to start in these colder mornings. I don't do much mileage,short trip to work and same a back. I have searched the archives and there is mention of if the engine being low on compression it could cause the engine to need to turn over more to...

That manager has probably got a target to make,and giving you that discount just makes his target harder to do Same for most retailers these days,my son worked part time for Currys, he still had a target,set by suits in head office,which was to my mind unachievable,which it proved to be,and as...

My son has one, which is why I picked up on this thread,had one yesterday,107 reduced to 72, 4 years guarantee, I plan on buying a 110 next year so will swap this battery onto that one when I get one

Ratty thank you very much,my disco is going to get one then.

Have a look on VWT4 forum its lads turning vans into campers, etc. they are doing exactly what you want,not so much the camper part, but the lining and paneling to stop condensation, all the hints and tips and links, because they have a section on conversions in progress,and like most on here...

I am going to swap my discovery for a 110 hard top next year, to turn into a day van / weekend camper. I used to have a VW Auto Sleeper coach built camper based on the VWT4 short wheel base van. My plan is to turn the inside into a camper, but also have the bigger size,also obviously it will...

Looks delicious,tastes delicious, and carp love it too, so I share it with em

As the title I am looking to buy one to turn into a weekend camper. I have seen some ''utility'' ones for sale quiet new, and with quiet low mileage, but some are saying they need a type 7 MOT, I get the idea, that they are heavier, and have uprated suspension. I don't know if this type 7 MOT is...
