The kit with the bottom pulley in it is a must if yours is an early 300, the early bottom pulleys didnt have the a guide plate on the front and the cambelts could slip off and end up being destroyed by the teeth on the pulley, leading to a very expensive engine rebuild! :doh: Once the bottom...

Not sure I see the point of turbo charging the 2.5 petrol, before you start the engine was worse on fuel than the V8, then you gona turbo it, my guess is you wont gain economy and you wont get the V8 torque or noise! so my conclusion is if you want a petrol landy, by a V8 (I did) and if you want...

The handbrake on the Disco has been crap since Ive had it, so was going to look at adjusting it or putting new shoes in for the up and coming MOT. The Disco is my toy to, use my defender everyday, defender does 25-30mpgs, Disco does 12-16mpgs:doh:, although I do forgive it for that with the...

Lol! Ive left mine off to!! Note to self, leave mud on the underneath of the disco and dont point Jet wash up there!!:doh:

Sounds like a case of to much "Enthusiastic" Driving on the plains! Lol! Probably filled every orifice with mud!!:hysterically_laughi you do love to play mate! I'll try and pop round Thursday and take a looksee, you can put the kettle on! :tea: By the way, Lotey and I washed both trucks friday...

I had a horrible feeling someone was going to say that! :doh: Lovely! Oh well, I know what I'll be doing over the weekend then! Fun times!:mad:

Good Morning All! Im after some help seeing where I is going! The Landy in question is my J plate 1992 Disco V8 3.5 EFI manual. The problem being is that I cant get any air up through the vents for demisting the srceen, this is a big problem when I through a couple of wet dogs and myself...

Got V8 Disco back on the road, and picked up my defender, which then promptly failed the MOT D'oh! Nothing to major, needs a couple of brake pipes, a new rear axle seal a two rear shock rubbers! All good really!

HHHmmm, Gota say, I aint the V-tech engines biggest fan, all top end power at 9 million revs and bugger all low down! Never enjoyed driving one yet, just not my driving style. And because of all the top end power that suddenly comes on tap I wouldnt have throught it would be a very good choice...

I take it you mean a V-Tech? Was that in a Landy??

Thanks for all the info chaps, sounds to me like I'll stick my 3.5 V8 for now, then we'll see how it goes in the future? Oh and my mates just pointed out the condition of the road underneath it, looks a tad on the oil stained side of things! Lol!

Gd arrfternoon all! Seen this on the bay, 1985 LAND ROVER LR 90 4C REG BLUE on eBay (end time 19-Aug-10 19:21:45 BST) dont really know much about these engines, so does anyone know if they are any good or are they not worth bothering with and better off going with a petrol V8 or a 200/300...

we were up the planes last Sunday, was dry as a bone, still managed to break most of the landys that went out tho!! Lol! Need a good few weeks of rain to get it more interesting, being into Landys has actually made me want the winter to come along asap for the first time ever! used to hate the...

Cool! I'll give you a shout nearer the time, Be good to catch up for a swift half while were there, Im going up with a few of the usual suspects all being well, Sticky, poss DV, and a couple of others youve met before, you going up with James?

Im hoping to go up on the Saturday, Got Birthday money to spend!! Now thats the kinda shopping I like!!!:D:D

Probably full of Mud, or at least it should be, after all its an off road vehicle not a living room!!:doh:

Have you tried the decompression solenoid on the pump? My 300 tdi did exactly that, and turned out I had knocked the conection when I serviced her the day before, she wouldnt go for ****, then I noticed the conector had come off, put it back on and all was good!

Would you believe it if I said Ive been doing some welding on a landrover today?? I mean, who would think a Landrover would rust..........????? :-s

Did some more Welding on the tdi disco, Sill now on, only a few more little bits to do and hopefully an MOT will be in my hand in the very near future!

Looks like a cracking bit of kit mate! I shall look forward to seeing it in action sometime soon!!
