Good afternoon, Finally got my 110 through it's MOT and working getting it running right. I've got a new distributor for electronic ignition and have just gone to check the timing before installing it, however I can't see any marks to line up to the arrow on the pulley. Any advice? It's a 1988...

Thanks, it needed new brake cylinders and a new brake house. I've done everything else on the MOT fail myself and was just getting so frustrated with the brakes there was no enjoyment anymore. It's a project, there's a list longer than me of stuff I need to sort and I'm planning on doing as much...

Thanks everyone, I've spent far too much time fiddling and getting nowhere, got it booked in for a garage to finish off!

I've done all that, the handbrake locks the wheels when I adjust it, but it doesn't hold enough to pass the MOT, there's basically nothing left on the cable adjustment to wind in.

Hi, I am slowly working my way through the big list of MOT fails on my project 110 and I'm stumbling at the final hurdle. The Brakes. • Brake pedal has insufficient reserve travel [1.1.2 (a)] • Service brake effort inadequate at a wheel Offside Rear [1.2.1 (a) (i)] • Service brake effort...

Full time 4WD on this one. Got a few bits and pieces to get it through it's MOT.

Good morning, I am now the proud owner of a 1988 110 2.5 petrol. It's going to need quite a bit of work, but I'm looking forward to getting busy.

bugger, theres another job i need to do :p

Thats my plan, pop up the plains for a bit of fun, but i dont know anybody else with a 4x4 that will come with me, and i know its not the best idea to do it on your own, especially if uve never done it before :p

Just got myself a 300tdi disco :) and am well happy with it. unfortunately, after browsing thru here i now have a massive list of things i want to do to it. so im gonna start with the easy stuff first, de-egr and de-cat. I also need to take it out somewhere to get it muddy, so if any of you...

Thanks for the advice, I will be out later to have a good look underneath. I live near just outside of Petersfield in Hampshire (above a pub) :D So if anyone would be able to come out and have a look at it for me ill get you a pint or two :D

Right, spent some time playing with it today, and have discovered that the rear wiper doesn't work, but the washer jet does, and the rear screen heater doesn't work. I'm guessing the wiper just needs a new motor? Other than that theres just an oil leak that the owner is aware of and will have...

Its a '95 tdi, so I'm guessing its the 300. I have also noticed the digital clock on the dash has broken, is there an easy way to replace this, or is it a whole dashboard off job?

Hi guys, I'm currently looking at getting a disco :D I have got my eyes on 1 and the owner is letting me borrow it for a week to check it out. I've done checks for rust, and the lock springs need replacing. is there anything else major i should look out for in my test week? Also is there any...
