Fair shout mate, I really must start drinking later in the day, it seriously effects my thinking! AJL

Perhaps I was not clear enough, the shell is up for grabs! Would not make much of a donor vehicle if I got rid of the engine. ;) Andreas

On the last day of Jan '08 my Disco 200Tdi is coming off the road to be stripped of it's shell in preparation for hybriding. As soon as the shell is lifted, by the end of Feb, I would like to get shot of it, preferably the same day. Apart from a very few bits that I think I definitely or may...

I dunno, mebbe I can find summat out and use it.... If not it will 'ave ter be a few ackers ta persuade 'im. ;) 'E ain't a bad sort, I give 'im an old hangin' bit 'o shiit Audi 80 quattro a couple 'o years back as 'e needed the engine fer 'is project and 'e thinks 'e owes me now. :D

Oh no, 'e ain't ferkin takin' it. Only for the lift off of the thing!

Check out my fred in general landy talk, there is a buch 'o shiit there up fer grabs too! Andreas

I thought of getting the local scrappy to come along with his truck and hi-hab hoist to lift it off fer a few quid! Yer right on the loom too, it can easily get the chop. :D So just dis-connect the steering shaft at the bottom, pull it all out, nab the clock panel and other useful...

Right then, I have the space to start the project and at the end of the month when all the legals run out, off the road she comes! I will start to disconnect all the inside stuff from the outside stuff pretty much straight away and as soon as I feel sure it is all disconnected I will want to...

Will do mate! Andreas

And if there is a 100" owner out there not too far from me; then lets have a look at yer wagon! Andreas

Cheers Yella and you too Raz.... It does seem to be a matter of personal taste and tailoring the wagon to your own needs. I will see if I can get to see this '4x4 is born flick', but I won't be overly worried about giving it a go without. I have already started drawing up a short and long...

Aha, I will go ahead then.... Just not sure where to mount the egg-box!!!! :D Andreas

Thanks for the input so far. I had wondered which item would be the most measurement sensitive and had guessed correctly with it being the bulkhead. I have the donor tub, seat box and hard-top, I just need to source a bulkhead. A local 4x4 place here in Swindon can supply the outriggers and a...

Is there a book on the subject of building a 100" Hybrid? A definitive work that covers most of the do's and don'ts? Or is it the case that all are built as one off's? I have a Disco I and can get all I need from various sources of mili LR parts, I just need to know if anyone has come across...

I run a 200Tdi Disco on SVO, 25% diesel when below +5c, 40% when below 0c and full SVO when temp is long term over +5c. So far all I did to it in preperation was put a new fuel filter on. On straight Veg it does better m.p.g., about 32-34 urban and easily maintains the new vehicle quoted...

As no-one has ever managed to find and declare an accurate breakdown of what exactly this road fund licence is for, I must therefore object to the very existence of said RFL. The B'stards get approx £2.5 billion per year as a conservative(sic) estimate and the roads suck, the furniture...

Any ideas?

Got to crash as my mrs is about to drop our second kid and I need me sleep! I'll get back to you if there is any way you can help or I can help. Andreas

Wot he said as well as; just the shock and spring mate! :D I just need a shock to help get it up on 2 wheels so I can do some measuring and offering up of other bitz. Andreas p.s. and an old 17" front wheel would be good too! ;) p.p.s. the project is a bit unusual and I am trying to beat...

Any ideas on how to best cure the pussy flow from the Disco I cabin blower? Is it a case of replacing for a new one or are they that shiite from new? And secondly, does anyone have a better cure? e.g. Replacing with a non-disco blower? My fan unit howls like a banshee and is barely...
