I've decided to go with heavy duty standard height springs from Rimmer bros,even though their standard height rear is 30mm longer than my existing rear ones. Don't mind though as was thinking of going up an inch anyway.:D Also realised the 300 has anti-roll bars which the V8 hasn't got. The...

I need new rear springs and seem spoilt for choice from different suppliers. Has anyone used Famous Four's own springs? They're a bit more than the likes of britpart,so wondering if It's worth the extra or just go cheap & cheerful.

How did u get on with the springs? Looking at getting some myself.

When I had the tanks off, i.e. no weight, while I was working on it,it sat very high.At this point I hadn't driven it further than from the back of my mates truck and into the workshop,so didn't know what it was going to be like. The springs on there now are the original ones from my 300 Tdi...

Cheers discool.Saw that thread,but inconclusive at the mo as was hoping to have someones experience of already having fitted some. I looked at the spring list at http://www.4x4store-exeter.co.uk/catalog/The%204x4%20store%20rr%20ca/RR%20web%20gallery/SPRINGS.HTM as suggested on one of the threads...

When going over speed bumps(even at a snails pace) the rear end bottoms out on the bump stops.I've got 300 tdi axles/springs and britpart gaz shocks.It's gas converted with two tanks,a 40l and 50l in place of the original petrol tank.These are heavy even when empty.It seems to sit low too. I've...

Has anyone got a radiator for sale for my 1991 disco V8? Or know best place to get one @ reasonable price?

No prob. PM me your number and we'll sort something out. Lee

Steering wheel is in pretty good nick for age.It has the cruise control buttons in it too.

Andy headlights gone manual sunroof so no blinds no loadbay liner no mats rear door card is ok but pocket is missing no autochanger leads no light guards interior is fabric not leather Not much help sorry. I think I need to list what has gone. Cheers for the interest Lee

Lights are going to be used on mine sorry.

Andy,Exhaust is still available.PM me for my number and could sort something out.I'm travelling to Portsmouth on Thurs so could make a detour if I can fit it in the car once I've got all my toddlers stuff in for the trip. Lee

Dave,I still have the dipstick tube.I'll have a look to see how easy it comes off then I'll sort a price out. Cheers Lee

Andy. Looking at £50 for complete system. Where are you based?I don't know what postage would be due to the awkward size/shape,so if you're close enough,pick up would be better and price could be negotiated.

I'm breaking my 1994 300 tdi disco as now got a 91 disco V8 on gas. Most parts available at the right price. Axles and wheels gone. It's still got an MOT until next May so might sell as is for the right money.It's got a new boot floor and the sills were replaced with 100x60x5 mm box...

I've finally got round to swapping over the front end,and mostly has gone ok.The calipers have been an issue due to the bolt size difference,but managed to drill the caliper bolt holes out slightly.They were only about 0.5 mm out but now ok. I've just got to reconnect the driveshaft and bleed...

On my '91 disco V8,I can get warm/hot air when the levers are all set to hot and to the windscreen,but when I move them to the front or footwell vents there is only cold air blowing.It's great for clearing the screen at 6am to go to work,but no good when I want to warm myself up too!Any ideas...

Nice one,thanks.I've checked the calipers and looks like they'll fit ok.

Would the diff gearing be the same on V8 and 300 tdi? If not it'll be a wasted exercise probably. We need to compile a definitive list as to what can be fitted to what...if one doesn't already exist that is.

Been thinking of doing a similar job myself,as now got a 1991 V8 (200 style) and a dead 1994 300 tdi.The swivels are deteriorating on the V8 and are fairly new Defender TD5 ones on the 300,so thinking of swapping complete axles front and back.I now know the 200 and 300 models have different...
