Rick, Had a look on the net and there were some articles on similar swops. But mostly just engine and box. Yes I have also heard that this combination makes a hell of a machine. thanks

Has anyone got any experience of putting the Engine, gearbox, transfer box and rear axle from a 300 Tdi Disco into a 1987 Ninety. Have a garage who are going to do it for me, but I know nothing about it. The Disco is tatty and I want a ninety that can be modified. There is nothing wrong...

Just been to a local dealer and he has a 200 Tdi and 300 Tdi for sale not a lot in price. Was tempted by the 300 but at the end of the day its condition thats swaying it for me. The 300 may be on an N plate but the 200 is in much better condition in and out. I know that both suffer from...

Looked at Series III Diesel today. Good chassis, little smoke, sounds great, middle of the road body and a ride from hell. I would have bought it apart from the ride. I'm not talking about your usual Series 3 bumpy ride (I know what this is like, because I already have one). It was going...

Just to finish this story off. My garage has said that the diesel pump needs reconditioning, quoted £300 and then it needs new injectors (£60). New Rad required (£100). Timing chain and the labour about £700. Am selling and buying another series diesel. Thanks for all of your comments. Any...

Thanks for all of your replies. It only smokes when its on tick over. Compression test gets screwed into the heater plug ports yea ! How do you do a leak test ? It's never been using water.

Blue ! But not really thick blue !

6 months ago my Series III Diesel was smoking so much on tick over that I had to take it off the road, because it was never going through the MOT unless Stevie Wonder was my tester. So three weeks ago after getting cheesed off doing 14 to the gallon in my 1989 V8 Disco (Now for sale £450). I...

Just put my Disco tank back in. After rebuild. Connected feed and return pipes to pump in tank and leaks like a good un. The two pipes that come out of the top of the pump are really corroded and I think beyond repair. Priced up about£180 for new pump. Can't afford this. Does anyone know of...

How bad is the leak ? A drip? Filling every day? Or ****ing out. Is the leak from the drain hole beneath the waterpump pulley underneath the pump hub. Which one of these pumps is it?

Pajero drivers Pah ! Nobody was injured !

The Disco thats getting a makeover in my Garage had a pair of Mud Plugga tyres by Olympic on the back (Remoulds). It says on the tyre made in Wales. I tried them on my series in the Snow over the past few weeks they were excellent. Does anyone know where they are made. Where can I get another...

yep, It was a Billingtons truck ! we planned a full day Off Roading but the Camel had a Problem with a fuel solenoid and we had to call out international rescue ! They took us home and a fuel solenoid problem was diagnosed. Not the type of thing you carry with you. Anyway it's fixed now. We...

Just thought I'd let the world see this embarassing picture of 3 Ton of Camel's Breath's landy from yesterday.
