Today i was up at the crack of dawn (more like 9) and outside working on the landy. Unfortunately the weather is horrendous, so i pulled out my tarp and rigged up something pretty sexy: Managed to wirebrush and paint all the exposed chassis and externals with at least 1 coat of Hammerite...

I don't know how well splicing two exhaust systems will work but AFAIK the TD exhaust system will suffice for a 200tdi. It's what i'm ordering for my 200tdi conversion.

Why does that pump have 3 bolts in the picture? Strange... @3900richard.. i tried responding to your PM but i'll be damned if it's gone through. I have no idea how that message system works.

I got a disco 200tdi 4-bolt box thrown in free when i bought an engine last month. Now i have the original 90 4-bolt and the new disco one. Don't know what to do with both of 'em.

Bingo! Perfect. Only 8p each on Paddocks! Thank you good sir.

I'm in the process of converting my 2.5 petrol to a 200 and i removed the transmission tunnel and floors for better access.. The only problem now is that I've broken several of those plastic plastic captive nut things. I've done a quick search and found some different ones but i was wondering...

With everyone tightening their belts, first impressions mean everything. I'd bet that if it was one of his employees who'd said that, he'd be horrified. It's not like he's the only parts supplier in the world...

I wonder if 4m/sq will be enough to also to the transmission tunnel. I plan on putting in a carpet set once I've sorted the leaking doors so it should be quiet as a church mouse. Any opinions on the quality of the stuff on that eBay link (and price?)?

Before anyone says - I did a search and found some results but no-one was offering an opinion. I'm in the middle of taking the 2.5 petrol lump out of my 90 to replace with a 200TDI (pictures & thread will be posted eventually) and I'm going to take the opportunity to service the...

Yeah that's the one listed on their website. There is a print shop about ~200 yards south-west.

Where? i can't see it. Edit: Found it.. not exactly in the same postcode area Looking at that website it does look like a scam site.. the spelling mistakes normally give them away.

What color is that? it's like the dark green from the 90s landys. I think that's the colour i want! My light green/blue is a bit old looking.

AA quoted me £150+ for recovery of a Citroen AX :rolleyes: (non-member)

People still use MSN video?

I pushed 60 the other week.. Never again..

I tried this. It worked for the immediate problem but now my landy smells like Walkers.

congratz on the landy. I'm a new owner too.. got big plans but at every turn it seems something goes wrong/needs replacing. I guess that's how it's going to be forever.

Wow you're so wrong. Said correction will be patronising, demeaning AND abusive. :D

Can you twist it left+right when it's in the "out" position?

'87 with PAS. Seems standard.
