the old disco (200tdi) has developed a rather disturbing grinding noise from the gearbox/transfer box direction. it happens when the clutch is lifted in any gear, including reverse, there is no loss of drive and the gears select as normal. its not the same grinding noise that happens when a gear...

personally I'd plastikote with a rattlecan; always gives a better finish than hammerite, and shouldnt really need retouching. if it does, simply spray it again. sprayed a set of alloy wheels with plastikote 2 years ago, and not a flake bubble or chip so far. or you could just polish up with back...

keep it, trailer it to pay and play :)

because a disco is a real car, a car with character, a car for real men. not them overpriced breaky downy tratter things, thats allus covered in cow **** and dents because its obviously only farmers who drive them and they cant drive between gateposts without a bit of touchy feely. or them...

out of the two I would definiteley go for a late td5. I've had problems with D3s falling apart and breaking and just being generally unreliable, that and its a big ugly characterless square box. given the choice though, probably a tidy 110 or 130.

8 month thread revival! yeah since the thread was first started - and I said I havent, but I would - I have kipped in the back of the disco on several occasions, mostly at scout camps. with the back seats folded up, lying diagonally corner to corner its pretty much made to measure. snug and...

and 80 feet is fecking long for a trailer, or even a trialer! :rolleyes:

yeah, its all godod; sorn'd my disco last month; it stated sorn'd from the beginning of september, so you still got until the tax runs out.

PICS dint work. post on photobucket and post linky pwease :)

you're welcome to borrow my ltwt, but you'll need to put a new chassis under it and reassemble it first :)

nah, get a good airbrush artist, like the guys who do the rides for the pikey fair, to do a proper job.

:pop2: me, I'd get insas, but I'm a cheapskate.

take the spare wheel mount off the back and bolt it to your bonnet? if you dont have one, discos are ten a penny in the scrapyard, and they all got wheel mounts on the back door. makes lifting the bonnet hard bloody work mind.

I'm confused Etch Primers - what are they? they says etch primer wont work on galv unless its weathered for aaaages and started to break down (also this is the first time i've heard of galv 'breaking down') at whih point wouldn't its start to rust, which is what you're trying to avoid ...

your 300tdi is permanent 4 wheel drive - open differentials in both axles and a lockable differential in the centre, linking the two axles together.
