If your not having any issues with the rest of the gears it could well be a synchromesh issue with 1st and 2nd. Having just had the gearbox out of my 200 three times in the same month (don't ask), I would recomend that the job itself is fairly straight forward, but getting it back in can be a...

Funny you should say that as I have fitted one just to stop dropping oil all over the drive:) The seal was fitted from the front in the normal manner, but I have since seen something which suggests I should have removed the bell housing, fitted the seal and then replaced the Bell housing over...

Stripped the box out of the Disco last weekend to replace thye rear main oil seal as what was once a small leak is fast becoming a flood. put the box back in (on my own I add) and the Foooking thing is leaking just as bad. Two option, 1, I didn't fit it correctly (any tips out there as...

Nice bit of Yorkshire there Mondo "ont t"swivel hubs "

just a few pictures for your amusement from a day out at Fulmer organised by the Burnham Off-Roaders Club (A big thank you to the organisers for making me feel wellcome). The mud got access through a gaping hole in the drivers floor when the Disco got through the puddle the Surf got stuck in...

I'll give you a call later in the week about some interior fittings, so please don't scrap everything just yet :) Daren.

Christened the Disco at the weekend.:D Burnham off road club site at Fulmer. Even managed to drive it home afterwards. However, Hydraulic step didn't survive, cracked the wing, bent the bumper and flooded the interior with MUD.:eek: Can't say I wasn't trying. Stripped the carpets out...

If your Disco is too heavy you need an early mk1. Mine is so full of holes it flies along :)

What colour is the interior?

or how about Yellas Method for Unpatented Filtration (Y MUF)

cheers guys, I was going to try to get a bit more technical with a length of soil pipe screwed to the garage wall and a screw on end cap with a section removed to take the recomended filter. This also gives me the option to easily change filters (Stockings) as required. Not to...

Just sourced a free supply of used vegetable oil to run the Disco on Fish and chips anyone :) I know its an ongoing saga but what are the best filters to use on used veg oil?

Sounds like the new clutch was slipping. Is it adjusted correctly? or possibly oil leak onto new clutch? Did it smell after spinning the engine?
