Hi guys we have just recently bought a silver 03 plate disco 2 td5 auto e.s. and whilst walking the dog last night and being just around the corner from home i thought i saw the missus driving out of our avenue towards me in the disco so i waved to her but then realised it wasn't her as the...

Hi a faro my dad used to have a s111 with a perkins 4203 engine in it and i am pretty sure it used the same s111 clutch plate as the s111 but there was some peops back in the day that used a rover 3ltr clutch aswell so you may need the old clutch plate as a sample and go to a clutch supplier...
