Does anyone know someone who's done this / done it themselves? My '89 defender has just decided it doesn't need a big any more so I'm in need of a new engine, but rather than just plonking in a replacement, its got me thinking about converting it. The truck only does about 20 miles a day round...

A Yamaha TY250. Smallish trials / field bike

Hi chaps, Found myself the new owner of a motorbike, only my 'fender is otherwise engaged, so I'm without a tow car Is there anyone about or can anyone recommend a decent courier to pick it up from Stamford and drop in back just north of Aylesbury? Obviously its gonna cost but would like to...

Sorry to re visit an already beaten horse but I'm having trouble deciding between looking for 4.6 v8 or the 2.5 TD RR Looking to trade up from my '96 2.5TD, and although initially I was just looking at diesels, I keep getting swayed by the thought of a nice big v8. plus you seems to get more...

for the money, and considerin what you need it for, a late 300tdi would be a good choice. capable enough for horse work with hay and whatnot, comfortable enough for the missus not to moan also 4k only buys you an alright defender, but it could buy you a good/sorted disco just my 2 pence

sorted out the tow bar on my rangie, gonna tackle the electrics over the weekend

i use pretty similar to barmatt in my 200tdi, but probs go as low as 30 % oil in the winter

thanks for the advice, managed it in the end! as above, once the fan and cowl was off it was a piece of cake. too damn right :rolleyes:

thanks, i'll stick em up on ebay and put a link up on here

Sorry, yet another post about p38 thermostats How the F*@K do you get to the thermostat? on a 1996 BMW Diesel I have the parts, got the workshop manual, and got me tools. But seriously looks like I have to take the whole bloody radiator, fan and cowling off just to get to the stat? and its...

I've got a spare set of brake discs laying around the garage, brought brand new for a '95 discovery 300tdi. does anyone know if they would fit a '96 P38? If it saves me having to go out buying a whole new set that'll be my friday night made :D If not i'll just flog em cheers

Do any of you chaps know somewhere that I could get my 300tdis swapped over, local to aylesbury? I've ended up with two disco's, one with rotten rear arches but great engine, and one with a blown and warped head but good everything else. I would attempt it myself, but I have neither the...

Just blank it off with a plate on the block and replace the top intercooler hose with a straight one. I've never had any issues mot'ing without the egr
