did you hammer the bolt grippers on tight? they've never failed me before.

If you want a new boot floor, Itve always bought them from RST Landrovers, £60 delivered. but, if you have the ally chequerplate, if I were you i'd use that and rivet it in. The boot floor isn't structural.

cut your losses and buy a disco.

and purple are 25v and red are 415v :)

I'm interested in this also, tried looking it up a while ago but drew a blank. as you say google just gives you autotrader ads and the like.

dont do it. spare yourself the grief and embarrasment of driving that thing in public. get a disco.

my disco is "fknsonofawhorebitch workyoudamnbastard" but to be fair to the old truck, she rarely deserves it. the passat is Mo, on account of her plate

aye cheers, despite its obviousness, a 200tdi had not occured to me for this particular project! and I didn't realise you could pick up series motors for so little. I'm just trying to overcomplicate things again!! thanks for all your input JKx

mmm rear diff lock. much more fun. screw the haters, at least you'll have a toasty heater :D

as title, there are millions of engines in the world, does anybody know which or any cheap little four pots, aside from series enjuns themselves (or 3cyl or twin, not too overly fussy) that can be made to fit to the series 3 gearbox? the smaller the betterer - it doesnt need to work, doesn't...

Replaced one on a 300tdi that never leaves the asphalt. cost 25 beans from the breakers including all the crappy plastic trim.

disco tray backs just look daft and unbalanced imo. when its well done it suits a tratterer or a jeep, but never a disco

coz fenders are big square noisy tratters and drove by farmers :rolleyes:

it'd be a PITA and a bit nipply to put it back into 4wd when I bury myself in a drift, like I did yesterday :D

well, certainly not a pikey. I had to google ricer: not really. I just want to make it more fun. Guess I'll save up for a jap wagon with it all there when the disco dies :rolleyes:

mended.

well, I don't have a machine shop, or any money for new axles/diffs, so that answers that question then! what I do have is an angel grinder and a miggy wiggy, so I'm off to build me a steam car then :rolleyes: or rather convert a car to run on steam. It can be done and it will be done, and it...

is it possible to build one out of, or into an existing diff? how do they work? mmm, now I hadn't considered that, cheers :cool: as for why, why not? the old disco doesn't drift over well, nowt like my old jap wagon. she keeps trying to drive with her front feet as well, which is just plain...

sounds like a much better idea :p
