your ok, thanks. i'm saving it as a job for summer because by then i'll have my garages built and i'm also putting disco axles on defender.

hey, just after abit of info please if any one can help. i've just bought a c reg defender 90 2.25 diesel with a buggered engine an also a disco 300 tdi all working as a bundle as the idea isto swap the engine into the defender. i have been told that i need to modify the engine mounts, and the...

will it be the big end bearings. i'll give anything ago. i might look for a cheap 4x4 to get me through winter coz me vans and pickup are no good in snow. plus its winter and i need to be out hunting

it revved its bollox off and kicked out loads of black smoke, the oil burning. by the time i jumped out it cut off, it wasn't a sudden stop, it died out, then i tried startin her again but she was just knocking.

ok. thanks

how does the fan on a disco 300 tdi come off. thanks

just stripped her down and the pushrod nearest to windscreen is slightly bent

she was on her side for approx 10 mins. then about 5 mins later i cracked her up to see if she would start as we were in the middle of nowhere

ok, will do. could the timing of slipped and now everything is out of line. thanks

is the engine buggered then or can she be fixed, thanks for your reply

hi, could do with a few suggestions please. i rolled my disco over onto drivers side, we pulled it back over onto its feet. i started her up and she was running but abit of black smoke. i drove forward 6 foot and she revved her arse off and kicked out loads of black smoke, i switched key off but...
