Fender & disco box's are the same until the td5, the input shaft is longer and thicker, if only it was the same for me. it could well be the bulk rings, the box ive just modified apparently had 44k on the clock and the fender I drive at work about 150k and both appear to be as bad as each other...

I've had to put the fender box in for now but I do have a spare r380 off a 94 plate fender, came from a breakers on the understanding it was a good box. The input shaft on the earlier fender box is a lot shorter and thinner than for the td5 so if your running a 200/300 it should be ok. Is your...

Just completely obliterated an R380 box and clutch, got some pics if I can work out how to upload. The only R380 I could get to replace it came out of a defender so had to trim down the selector arm and fit my original disco gear shift assembly. I don't know why but in the disco the R380 is a...

Thanks, I've done that once but with no discernible results, I think I'll drop the balloons off and inflate with a compressor see if that can pinpoint any thing. Was thinking of going to springs but have heard I might need a re-map because of the ACE system, do you know?

Fine thanks apart from the nervous twitch and feelings of paranoia normally associated with disco II ownership, has it got to you yet ?

Thanks for that, ACE light came on the other day, might have to go and get it plugged into a computer and see what's going on!!

I hoovered it out and sprayed it liberaly with back to black, at least all the scratches and ingrained dirt looks shiny, started to pressure wash the outside and underneath but mrs frigate wanted to go to B&Q so that will be some other days job. Yippee!

Well today I was goin to pressure wash the underside of the disco, find out why the TC, ABS and HDC lights come on every now and again and ave a look at me rear susy bags and ride height sensor coz me arse drags the bump stops when the engine aint runnin,sometimes, but its ferkin snowin so...

Did my cylinder head gasket on the td5!

Happy New Year Everybody, sorry Im a bit late but what do you expect from a disco owner!!!!!!!!!:o

Hello to you, used to be a Stourbridge lad myself, is the Greyhound pub still open?

Had a britpart water pump and did a whole 15 miles before having to replace it. Fitted a britpart thermo too and I'm not convinced thats workin properly. ****PART!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that, the engine cooling seems ok at the moment, holds steady when under load and at varying speeds, its just the cabin heat at the moment. I was gonna fit a wood burner in but the leak from the sunroof would put it out!
