Hey, yep, it is a nissan conversion. Is it a good engine to have over here? What gearbox will it have on it?

Hey all, Does anyone know anything or anyway that you can look up chassis numbers or engine numbers to find out any more info... Chassis number is :24307224B -- what does that mean?! Engine number is :25192924F -- Again, what does this mean? Apparently has a 2.8ltr D engine in it...Would...

Hi all, Whilst looking for parts for my 300TDi disco, i have stumbled accross an entire engine for sale - 41,000 miles Complete engine Inc. Delivery £950 +VAT. What do you think? Is that reasonable? Thanks in advance... Josh

Hi all, My Discovery has now given up the go! Cracked injector pump casing, damaged valves, fucxed cylinder head and fucxed piston 1! All because of the timing belt snapping! Soo...... Does anyone know of a good place/company who can provide recon cylinder heads and/or short blocks. Also...

Hi all, After investigating the engine bay a little more, i have found that the Turbo is pushing oil through the intercooler... Is this the oil seal gone on the turbo? Any suggestions? Also - how do you turn the fuel pump up? Thanks, Josh

Sounds identicle to what i had - i found it to be the bearings gone on one of the front wheels, which resulted in the hub being out of centre, and therefore was rubbing against the caliper every now and then.... Could be wrong....but thats what happned to mine one day! If your doing your...

Thanks for that guys! I was really only trying to make a point - i dont rev over 3k normally, but my point was that i dont have any power in low revs, and therefore have to rev in excess when changing up the gears. Sorry for mis-informing you guys! What is the likelyhood of the turbo being...

Hi all, I've got a 1996 disco, 300tid, with 155,000 miles on the clock. It had the head replaced june last year (after i cooked it completely), and since then, it has been really slow. It struggles to maintain speed up hills, or if it has a trailer on the back, it just screems untill your at...

Yer, i agree with you on some comments, but being a farmer myself, i think a winch would be really useful - If i'm trying to get out of a field with a trailer full of ewes (sheep), but get a bit bogged down, i want to be able to get myself out without having to try and get phone signal, then...

Well - I have got Grizzly Claws (31.0 x 10.50) on it already, but in my mind, a winch is something that is extreemly useful if you are on your own and get badly stuck....not just for posers!

Evening all! Well - bad news really, on Wednesday i got about 10 miles away from Home on my way to work - and the brakes did their usual trick of binding on! I rang my Landy dealership, and asked one of their mechanics about it. He suggested that i might need a 5mm spacer between the servo...

Hi all, Many thanks for all the feedback! I had the new Servo and new Master Cylinder delivered today...so i have just finished putting them on. I took it for a test drive, and so far so good - no problems at all, although the pedal was stiffening up by the end of it - though i believe...

Thanks for the feedback... RichardJG - i dont think it is due to a seized/partially seized caliper - as i put all the new pads and disks in, and there were no problems with pushing the calipers back. Also - if it was a seized caliper, surely it would only act on 1 wheel (maybe 2), and not all...

Thanks for the advise! Also - Do you recommend replacing the Master as well? or am wasting my money? Thanks again, Josh

Cheers, I will now order a replacement! Is it worth getting a new servo or getting a "Servo repair pack"? Cheers, Josh
