Disco back box £27 all in, 20 minutes cutting and welding... job done :)

Would love to come along and meet folks. Also my daily driver but been laning around the Peak District and although nothing too extreme I REALLY enjoyed myself.

Well I will be taking it back to the garage but not until he's not too busy cos its a good friend of mine who hasn't charged me a penny labour. I was kinda hoping it was something simple that I could fix so I didn't have to go back and bug him. I'm pretty sure when he did the head he locked the...

Thanks for your reply. Same injectors. Basically it nipped a couple of valves so they were replaced in my original head. The leak off hoses were replaced too.

Hoping for a few pointers as I'm now at the end of my knowledge. 2000 L series diesel Just had engine rebuilt after cam belt snapped :( Cold start has to crank the engine over quite a few times before she kicks Warm start no problems, half a turn of the engine and she's good to go...

Well, I'm 15 minutes drive from Sheffield, but there's no way on God's green earth I would go and help someone so impatient and ungrateful. Enjoy your paj, pal.

You realise this thread is 3yrs old ?

Holy Crap ! It had better not be like that ! The engine is running, just missing, so hopefully it will be nothing like that :)

nuthin' - it's still brokened :( Cam belt going had actually nipped a valve so it's idling like an old dog that's been on 60 park drive a day all it's life. Can't wait for Monday when the head gasket and valves arrive, so my good mechanic friend can make her live again :)

Yes it's an L series. I am just hoping and praying that it won't have done any damage as the engine was literally just turning over to start when it went. I won't really know until I get the engine warm but that's not going to happen until Friday when the tensioner turns up. It did sound it's...

My auxiliary belt tensioner pulley started squealing a couple of months ago after going wading a few times, but I thought.. I'll get round to changing it soon. Well... on Tuesday queueing in traffic there was suddenly a lot of smoke coming out of the engine bay so I pulled up to find the...

Mine is exactly the same :( Wasn't working so had it to bits and discovered the broken tab. Realised that a lot of the actual demister has been scraped off so no point trying to repair. Still looking for a decent replacement but for now I just open the door and wipe it with a cloth :)

Here ya go

It's your lane, you know it a lot better than we do :) It looks like a fairly tame lane by all accounts. To be honest it didn't look that muddy either , just a few puddles here and there. Maybe I have a gung ho! attitude but your speed didn't seem excessive to me :)

" L series whining noise" I have one of those too... but only if the missus is in the car :D

Fitted a CB Radio, ready for the next green laning outing, and then took a small detour home up a big hill and down a couple of safe green lanes to check out the ting factor on the antenna. Discovered that a 6ft aerial isn't very clever and made more noise than a bucket or marbles so now looking...

obviously bought it with a "brake light guarantee" then :D

Went green laning again in the Peaks, drove just short of 70 miles, bid farewell to my mates in their Disco and Jeep, drove another 100yds down a rough track and then had to stop and investigate a scraping from the back end. Lo and behold the bloody exhaust had decided to part company with it's...

Coming home from shopping yesterday afternoon, realised the tailgate window was not shutting correctly, and instead of sliding up behind the roof, was actually hitting it and stopping. Upon investigation I found that the glass was kinda loose, waggling backwards and forwards. Today I have...
