Hi all, does a very 300tdi turbo fit on a 200tdi at all? Is it worth doing since the 300 boosts a bit higher? what's everyones thoughts and opinions on this? Cheers!!

Yeah, heat guards coming straight off, is it worth putting the heat guard back on or not? The haynes simply says, unbolt and remove, but it looks fiddlier than that!

Just about to change my starter motor on my 200, do I need to remove the exhaust manifold at all or is it pretty easy access once it's unbolted? Cheers!!

Ok, I've worked out that it's the bendix at fault, looking at the symptoms and researching it. Where can I actually them from?

Right, my starter motor started sticking when it was really cold, in that it seemed like the solenoid was sticking and it took a few attempts for it to engage the flywheel before starting, then when it got warmer it stopped, so I put it down to the cold. Went to start it today and it started...

Haha, true, but no more ice for me I reckon!

You sure you didn't mean the cambelt?

Now I wouldn't mind running my 200 on veg oil, whats required to do it? Extra fuel filter I know, but what else to get set up? Where do you get the stuff from and where do you keep it? Also, does it make your car smell like a chippy?

Fair enough, now maybe I should have said what I use my disco for, mainly on road, but I go offroad a bit, so I'm slowly pimping and modding it for offroad, got some nice 235x85 pirelli scorpion muds etc etc. Just fancying new springs and shocks as my shocks and dampers are going rusty and have...

Now are they actually any good, I wouldn't mind some new springs on my 200 disco and if I were to get some, I'd most likely go for HD +2", maybe, or just normal HD springs. Obviously with this slight lift the road handling would go down the ****ter and I've heard air helper springs make it less...

Well would you Adam and Eve it!! It's working every time now!! Must have been the cold. Oh well!!!

I can here the motor spinning freely, it takes about 10 seconds of it spinning before it goes crunch and engages the flywheel. Motor off it is then!

The starter motor solenoid I think, is sticking on my 200tdi, ever since it's been cold its been sticking and I have to hold the leave the starter running for about 10 seconds or more till the solenoid frees and engages the flywheel. I assumed it was sticking due to the cold, but it was about 6...

I'm quite fancying a boost gauge, and I'm aware you can just stick a T-piece in in next to the waste gate actuator, but I was thinking it may be more accurate if it's right next to the inlet manifold. Anyone done this or does it make no difference? Cheers!!!

You seen the price!! I'm just fancying a better extra temp gauge. I'm thinking I'll get one of them digital jobs and a boost gauge and stick em both in a dual dash pod.Any pics of how people have mounted theres? Also, how have people plumbed in their boost gauges? I know you can just stick a T...

Anyone at all!? Maybe something like this DIGITAL WATER TEMP PERFORMANCE GAUGE/DIAL 52mm/2" on eBay (end time 24-Jan-10 13:53:24 GMT)

Anyone here got an extra temp gauge thats accurate? If so, what are good ones to go for? I'm fancying a digital one. How does the temp gauge actually wire in since I've never took one out before? What live would it use and how does the send plug in? I'll be going for an aux pod on the dash to...

Naw no compass, think I'll just go for a live to the battery for each set of lights, make life easier.

Well thats what I've done at the minute, but personally I think it looks a wee bit bodged. Just fancied it looking a bit more professional really.

Ok, so considering you want it literally just for show and it may get used a couple of times just for the sake of getting stuck and winching out i assume, could you not just save yourself 2k and get a tirfor for £100 instead? If you're wondering what a tirfor is, its a really good hand winch...
